The Land Where Sinners Atone : A Standalone Enemies-to-Lovers Romance (The Land Where Sinners... Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 1,712 ratings

I used to have it all.

Successful career.
Loving husband who adored me.
A future full of possibilities.
A perfect fairytale nothing could break.

Until one day, life as I knew it was crushed into tiny little pieces.

I was charged with a murder I didn't commit.
And no matter how much I begged for justice, no one believed me.
Least of all the man who promised to stand by me through anything.

And the husband of the woman I allegedly killed?
He vowed for me to live in a hell on earth–and even then it wouldn’t be enough to atone for my sin.

His words rang in my ears every single day as life became an endless nightmare.
With time, I grew to hate him so much my heart burned from it.

Until three years later new evidence was found.
And everyone believed my truth.

I might be free but I’m still part of a twisted game the monster is playing.

And the only way I can survive in it?
Trust a man who I promised to hate till my last breath.

V.F.Mason always loved reading books and had quite a few fights with her mama over the genre she liked (romance, duh!) She studied filmmaking and thought that would feed her desire for stories, but that didn't happen.

Finally, when she was tired of all those voices in her head, she sat down and wrote a book. It was a huge decision to make and she thanks her friends and family for supporting her in it.

When she is not writing, she can be found with her friends doing all sorts of crazy things or reading recent romance books that were written by her favorite authors.

A consuming UNPUTDOWNABLE must read!
I love when a book is recommended to me and blows my expectations out of the water! That was this book ten fold and all I could do was let it consume me! "I’m a survivor of many things, but even survivors know when to give up." Oh this book had me so intrigued.....from reading the blurb, to the gorgeous cover and then the incredible story that unfolded which left me stunned. Once I started reading this book I was captivated, I couldn't stop reading, I had read through the first few chapters and knew this book would be a top read, it was just that UNPUTDOWNABLE! This is definitely one that would stay with me and one that I highly recommend. “You’re a poison that’s slowly killing me from the inside out, a curse I don’t know how to break.” Phoenix Hale is a woman that goes through hell and back after a devastating event changes her life but rises stronger and ready to start living her life again. Zachary King is the one man you will hate more than anything in this story wondering how he can redeem himself, until you don't hate him, until you realize the relationship that forms between him and Phoenix is inevitable given their history. This book is an enemies to lovers, dark romance about forgiveness, finding love again and one that is an absolute MUST READ! 'Love has the power to heal everything inside us, give new meaning to the world around us, while the person who understands you the most stays by your side."

    I am so undecided as to how to rate this book. It started out as a solid 5+ star rating. It grips you from the very beginning because of the way it starts out. You feel the h's heartache and despair; her fear and hopelessness. And it maintains this intensity and edge through most of the story. The emotional turmoil these characters go through feels real and believable.

    There's a pattern in the story telling where certain events are not told in real-time...meaning the actual event is revealed in detail as someone's memory sometime after it actually occurred. In most cases, it played well into the storyline, heightening emotions, angst and keep you guessing or wondering. In others, I would have preferred to have the events revealed in real time, but only in one case did it ruin the intensity of emotions for me and that was at the very end.

    How so? Well, in the last chapter, when you get to the final showdown; the reveal of and confrontation with the serial killer, it ends in a sort of cliff hanger. The author intimates something has occured and you're thinking where the heck is my HEA? Only to get an epilogue that takes place 15 yrs later which drags out the intimation in the last chapter until almost the end then you just get one of those memories of what actually happened in a very brief fashion. As such you lose all the emotion of the story. I think I would have preferred to read it in real-time...it could have, and probably would have, had the same intensity of emotions that this book started out with....choked up with a baseball-sized lump in your throat and probably even tears! For this reason only I gave it 4 1/2 stars instead of 5.

    That being said, it really was a great story! It is an edge of your seat, constantly guessing (or trying to) thriller with really intense emotions.

    Zachary King is young, power and enormously wealthy. A widower and single father, whose beloved wife was killed by a drunk driver. And he holds the woman responsible to account while in prison. He pays people to literally torture her as part of his personal revenge. Dr Phoenix Hale, was raised in foster care and yet was always determined to become a doctor. Instead of surgery where she couldn’t accept the loss of patients on her table, she opts for psychiatry. Zach and Phoenix meet as children and become pen pals, as he is going overseas to be educated. He angry and she filled with optimism. A chance almost meeting allows FATE to decide the path for these two. Phoenix claims that she wasn’t drinking, nor drunk when she hits and kills Angelica King. Her husband leaves her in the cruelest of ways unbeknownst to him that she is pregnant with their child. After 4 years incarcerated, Phoenix is released after more women die in the same manner as Angelica. FBI profilers determine that the Unsub is after Phoenix and Zachary. Zach, who is filled with remorse, comes to the aid of Phoenix. events unfold, many truths are revealed and the Unsub is unmasked. Why was Phoenix targeted. Why is Zach? Can the two find any semblance of happiness. Will Phoenix be able to once again practice medicine? Will forgiveness win out? And what of Zachary’s daughter, Emmaline? Where does she fit into the carrying puzzles?
    MS Mason has once again written a book with complex characters who are determined not just to survive but to live. She takes readers o the journey of forgiveness, love, the unmasking of the Unsub and the reasons why the person acted as the Unsub does. All of the various links are important to the flow of this story. Can Zach and Phoenix make it to the “Land where Sinners Atone”? Happiest of reading. More than 5 stars.

    Reviewed in Australia on December 5, 2022
    Just what you'd expect from this author - it's dark.
    Phoenix loses everything framed by a psychopath for a vile crime her friends, career, baby, husband and freedom.
    Zach is the devil who mourning the loss of his wife causes Phoenix's incarnation to become a living nightmare. And that's just the first couple of chapters!
    An unlikely love story that is intense and passionate delivered in midst of the psychopath wanting revenge and a shared past neither of them realized.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Para mí el mejor libro de esta autora hasta la fecha
    Reviewed in Spain on May 23, 2020
    Aunque todos los libros que he leído de esta autora me han gustado, éste es sin duda mi favorito. Tiene de todo: intriga, acción, venganza, pasión...
    El destino une a Zachary y Phoenix varias veces a lo largo de los años. Empezando cuando son niños y Zack pierde a su madre, cuando son adolescentes y quieren volver a encontrarse en NY sin conseguirlo(aunque ese es el día que ambos conocen a sus respectivas parejas con las que después se casan), hasta años después cuando se enfrentan en una batalla sin cuartel.
    Maravilloso. Os lo recomiendo.

    Finished in a couple days because I couldn’t put it down. Really enjoyed it though some concepts I didn’t fully agree with. Overall the story was captivating and I had a NEED to read it until the last word. I enjoyed the main character but wished she had more of a backbone, although the decisions made were very calculated and physiological based, so it fit with the character well.

    “They say it’s possible to love and hate a person at the same time. And I think it’s true. Even true love can turn to hate if the person you love dumped you into the pit of hell and never looked back.”

    Es mi primer libro de esta autora y quede gratamente sorprendida. La historia de Zack y Phoenix no es precisamente lo que esperaba, fue mucho mas alla de mis expectativas. Me tomo solo 2 días terminarlo (con todo y mi distracciones del trabajo). Asi que es un libro que definitivamente recomiendo.
    Toda la angustia, dolor, odio, pena, resentimiento convertidos en entendimiento, perdón, empatía, amor, hacen que sea un libro que definitivamente tienes que leer.
