far would you go for family For love" Stars,
If like me, you swooned over Shane in Forgotten Sins, fell in love with Mattie and his dirty, dirty mouth in Sweet Revenge, you will have been impatiently waiting for Nate Dean to step out of the sidelines and give us his story.
Well you are in for without a shadow of a doubt an absolute treat,
Hed loved Audrey Madison from the first second shed flashed those innocent baby blues at him, and wasnt a guy who loved twice.
The Sin Brothers Series holds a very big place in my heart, Firstly because Forgotten Sins was the first book that I read by Rebecca Zanetti, and Secondly because you cannot help but fall in love with these boys, and their longing for a normal life, based on family, love and togetherness.
Something that those in the world around them take for granted,
Audrey Madison has not played a huge part in the previous two books, going into Blind Faith you know that Nate and her have history, and that it didnt end well.
What you don't know are the reasons surrounding it and the subsequent fallout after it ended, Dr. Madison being Audreys mother has had a huge impact on her life and although she still hopes that there is a shred of maternal feeling buried deep inside her mother for her, as the book progresses Audrey begins to understand just how warped her mother really is.
The real Nate Dean, the kind, gentle, man deep down, . . She saw him, the sexy soldier and hardbodied charmer had intrigued her right from the start, but the man inside had stolen her soul.
Nate and Audrey have history, having initially met and got together whilst the Grey/Dean brothers were still working under the Commander.
Their relationship much like everything else started out as an experiment, but developed into something real, Even after having his heart broken by Audrey, Nate still sees their time together as one of the high points of his life,
Fear had no place between them, and yet it nearly choked him, She was the one person hed truly been himself with, and she had to keep a thought of him alive, He had to matter to somebody,
Slipping out of bed, he secured his gun to go check on the threat, He, turned to go back to study the only woman hed ever loved, the one hed have to let go in order to save his brothers.
For the first time in five years, he wondered if he could do it,
The killchips are still very much at the forefront of this story, and the race to get the codes to deactivate them, as well as trying to discover the truth about Jory.
As you would expect the action comes thick and fast as the book develops, and no other author manages to drag you into the foray quite as well as Rebecca Zanetti does.
Reenter Shane and Mattie and its full shooting and explosions ahead!
It is safe to say that the emotional connection between Audrey and Nate, even afteryears apart and everything they have been through together and separately is still strong.
He tasted of lonliness, anger and lust, Hard, needy, demanding lust.
I found Nates vulnerability over his emotions and feelings for her so endearing, that at points it bought me to tears.
That and his total belief that he is not worthy of a happilyeverafter of his own, and that his sole purpose is to make sure his brothers do is heartbreaking.
Years of loneliness, years of uncertainty, all disappeared in the softness of her touch, in the gardenia scent of her skin.
”I need you alive, I need the Gray brothers alive, ”
“Dean brothers. ”
“Huh”
“Dean brothers, We took a last name years ago only family gets to know it, ”
“Good name. ”
“Glad you like it, Youll be wearing it soon, ”
A lot of questions from the previous two books are answered in Blind Faith, but there are also a few new ones added into the mix, the Commander and Dr.
Madison are still very much at large, but a few surprises are added into the suspense just to keep the reader on their toes.
I dont think I am offering a spoiler when I say that I cannot wait for Jorys book in March! The culmination of this series promises to be an absolute stunner, I just wish we were getting Total Surrender sooner!
My thanks go to Forever Publishing for finally allowing me the opportunity to review for them, with this ARC provided via Netgalley.
In exchange it was my absolute pleasure to provide the above honest review, explosively badass, actionpacked and sexy
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 Zenettis Sins Brothers series, this one is definitely my favourite, Nate and Audreys 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 couldnt put it down.
Nate and his brothers were genetically engineered to be supersoldiers, 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 Nates 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 havent 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 brothers 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 couldnt quite place him until recognition slammed into her, heating her ears and weakening her knees, It couldnt 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, shed belonged in the safe circle of his arms, The only time in her life shed been truly happy and not alone, Ah, the dreams shed spun, even though shed known better,
There are misunderstandings and so much pain between them, but Nate makes his presence felt in Audreys life as he searches for the answer to save his brothers 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 dont fight it and the sex is emotionally intense and hot as all hell.
For a brief time, with this woman, hed 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 theyre facing, its 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 dont 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, its just that hes been operating in soldiermode for so long, hardening his heart from the pain in his past, and his fear for his brothers, that we havent 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, its 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 its 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 its absolutely fantastic! Double crosses, triple crosses, murder, kidnapping, car chases, its 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 Matts turn to protect the brother whod never wanted protection.
“Lets go get him. ”
And lets 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 doesnt shy away from anything, and she and Nate make a fantastic team as they work together, But Nate still brings the protective alphaness that we all love, and its both hilarious and thighquiveringly hot!
“You fucking touch her, and Ill 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 isnt over yet, and I cannot WAIT for more.
But MarchWAAAAAAAH! Its going to be torturous, but Im sure it will be worth it,
If you havent read this series yet, dont even think about starting with this one, Pick up sitelinkForgotten Sins, and enjoy the ride!
massive, Blind Faith is absolutely awesome and the best one in the Brothers series so far, We dive into the midst of the action right from the start and there is not much breathing time right until the end, It is action packed, engrossing, romantic and the unresolved story arc involving the evil commander left us panting for more,
Before I even start with Blind Faith, I already felt like I knew Nathan and Audrey, They were a couple during their time in the military facility, until Audrey make a decision that left Nate heart broken, Now Nate was on a mission to find a way to save his brothers from the kill chip implanted on their spine and also looking for their missing brother, Jory.
Audrey might just be his source of information to get a way in, She is still working for the commander, undercovering as the senator's assistant,
I'm glad that there isn't any hatred or stupid misunderstanding when Nate and Audrey met again five years later, That would have been frustrating, It was obvious that they were very much still in love but felt like they can't overcome the challenges thrown at them, There were a lot of mistrust, but the love they shared were
palpable, I felt that they were the strongest couple among the other brothers and their girls,
The best part of the book is always when all the brothers reunited together and plotting to blow up something, Nate will never want to endanger his brothers and trying his damnest to keep them away, But Shane and Matt was having non of his bullshit and stubbornly showed up to help blew the commander's men to kingdom comes, Yowza!
There are a lot of other things that went on with Nate and Audrey and a few surprises thrown in, I shall keep my mouth zip for that, A shutout to the Grandpop who was absolutely hilarious and what a great addition to the team!
Overall, this is absolutely worth the wait and the anticipation that I felt for Nate's story since Bookreally did live up to my expectation.
Even though each book focus on a different brother, they have a main story arc that interlink all the books, so it can't work as a standalone.
I can't wait to see what Rebecca will give us next, Jory's story will only come out in March, which feels like a lifetime away!
