Review

5 explosively badass, action-packed and sexy stars

I freaking love this book!!! Holy hell! I have just finished it, and I am pumped up, full of excitement and bouncing around my house like an idiot. What a ride! The third book in Rebecca Zenetti’s Sins Brothers series, this one is definitely my favourite. Nate and Audrey’s story has been hinted at in the earlier books of the series and I have been eagerly anticipating what was sure to be a fiery reunion, and I was not disappointed! Full of action, intrigue, danger and romance, it absolutely blew me away in its awesomeness and I couldn’t put it down.

Nate and his brothers were genetically engineered to be super-soldiers, and are on the run from the people that experimented on them and used them as killers for hire for most of their lives. They are now fighting for their very survival as they search for the way to deactivate devices that have been implanted in their bodies and triggered to kill them – and time is running out. They need a way back into the bad guys’ lair, and Audrey just may be the way in.

Audrey was Nate’s one great love, and the only person that he has ever allowed close to him apart from his brothers. She is the daughter of Dr Madison, a brilliant but sociopathic scientist (who needs to die horribly and painfully… just sayin’) and one of those responsible for the torment that the brothers faced while in captivity. And though Nate and Audrey shared a great love and moments of true happiness, she ripped his heart out by leaving him. He and his brothers escaped their captivity shortly after, and they haven’t seen each other in five years.

This book drops us straight back into the story with Nate hunting down Audrey, and he is still bitter, feeling that Audrey betrayed him, that their relationship was all a ploy to weaken him, and he feels responsible for putting his brother’s lives in danger because of it. But from the moment they see each other – PHEW! Their reconnection is immediate and electric, stunning both of them with its intensity. It is clear that their passion for each other is still burning hot, and my heart was pounding from that very first glance.

As if drawn by a magnet, her focus landed on a man leaning casually against the doorway leading to the dancefloor. He looked familiar, but she couldn’t quite place him until recognition slammed into her, heating her ears and weakening her knees. It couldn’t be.

Like Nate, Audrey has never forgotten her first and only love. Of course she feels guilty for breaking his heart even though it left them both shattered, but she believed all along that he and his brothers had escaped from the horrors of their past and were living happily, having finally found the freedom they deserved, while she still lives a life that is not her own, and is full of danger and fear.

For the briefest of times, she’d belonged in the safe circle of his arms. The only time in her life she’d been truly happy and not alone. Ah, the dreams she’d spun, even though she’d known better.

There are misunderstandings and so much pain between them, but Nate makes his presence felt in Audrey’s life as he searches for the answer to save his brother’s lives. And though there are secrets to uncover, they are both still fighting hard to protect the other from the danger lurking ahead, and neither of them can deny that their feelings are still there. And thank God, there is no stupid – they feel the chemistry, they don’t fight it and the sex is emotionally intense and hot as all hell.

For a brief time, with this woman, he’d felt whole. Real. Good. Even if they just had the night, he wanted that feeling again.
Before he sacrificed everything.

When everything is revealed and they learn exactly what the other has dealt with in the years that they have been apart, as well as everything that they’re facing, it’s heartbreaking. But once again, there is no stupid. There is protectiveness and stubbornness, but it adds a great dynamic to their relationship. And when the time comes, they don’t hide from the emotions. I thought their reconnection was realistic, perfectly timed and absolutely beautiful.

“No way in hell am I letting you go this time.”

Nate, Nate, Nate. Where to even begin? He is not the cold soldier that we have seen in the series so far. Nope, he is probably the most emotional of his brothers, it’s just that he’s been operating in soldier-mode for so long, hardening his heart from the pain in his past, and his fear for his brothers, that we haven’t had a chance to see it apart from the occasional glimpse of tenderness. And in his own book, he is wide open and full of feels, and OMG, it’s a glorious thing!

Years of loneliness, years of uncertainty, all disappeared in the softness of her touch.

But of course, the romance is only a part of the story, and it’s interwoven brilliantly between numerous plotlines that see our hero and heroine facing danger after danger as they try to find a way to save Nate and his brothers, as well as take down the psychotically evil Commander. OMG, this book is action packed from start to finish! It felt like I was in the middle of an action movie. There is never a slow point, it literally goes from one high point to the next, and it’s absolutely fantastic! Double crosses, triple crosses, murder, kidnapping, car chases, it’s all happening! The pacing is fast and exciting with lots of twists and surprises thrown in along the way, and of course Matt and Shane are along for the ride. And seeing the brothers together is a very special thing.

For years, Matt had relied on Nate to keep him Sane, and now it was Matt’s turn to protect the brother who’d never wanted protection. “Let’s go get him.”

And let’s not forget about Audrey. I love her! With all that she has faced, and even surrounded by a bunch of badasses, she is brave, strong, and determined to do her part in taking down the bad guy. She doesn’t shy away from anything, and she and Nate make a fantastic team as they work together. But Nate still brings the protective alpha-ness that we all love, and it’s both hilarious and thigh-quiveringly hot!

“You fucking touch her, and I’ll rip you apart tendon by tendon … Trust me. I. Will. End. You.”

I love this series, and this book really takes things up a notch. The writing is sensational, the romance is fantastic – sexy with a lot of heart – and the action is intense as the overarching story heads towards its climax. There are more reveals in this book, and even though the boys are getting closer to finally getting their answers, the story isn’t over yet, and I cannot WAIT for more. But March 2015???? WAAAAAAAH! It’s going to be torturous, but I’m sure it will be worth it.

If you haven’t read this series yet, don’t even think about starting with this one. Pick up Forgotten Sins, and enjoy the ride!

5 massive stars.
