GR's Summary:

A fight he must win... 

Piper Oliver knows she can't trust him. They warned her that the tall, dark, and sexy black-ops soldier Jory Dean would try to win her over with his steel-gray eyes and deadly charm, but she won't be conned by this man they call a traitor. All she has to do is figure out the science necessary to save his life, and she's done. Something isn't adding up, though, and she won't rest until she uncovers the truth-even if it's buried in his deep, dangerous kiss. 


A passion she can't resist... 


Jory will do anything to reunite with and save his brothers-even kidnap the gorgeous woman who's working to deactivate the deadly chip in their spines. But the forces determined to destroy his family won't let them go so easily. Keeping Piper alive is more than he bargained for-and so is his burning desire for her. But with every second bringing him closer to certain death, can he afford to lose himself in her hot and willing embrace?

My Thoughts:

Total Surrender was an epic finale to the Sin Brothers Series!  I have been highly anticipating Jory's story, and was not disappointed!  This ending was chock-full of danger, drama, intrigue, suspense, and passion!  While I am sad to say goodbye to the Dean Brothers and their women, I am very happy with how Ms. Zanetti concluded the series.

In Total Surrender, we finally get the youngest Dean Brother, Jory's story.  Jory was shot by a mystery woman, which put him in a coma.  Now that he has awakened, he realizes that he has been recaptured by "The Commander."  When he was shot, his kill chip was damaged.  "The Commander," hires the intelligent and beautiful computer hacker, Piper, to figure out how to safely deactivate the chip.

Piper has been warned that Jory betrayed his country, and is a government traitor.  Yet, when she see's Jory, she cannot help but notice how sexy and masculine he is.  She plans on working diligently to prove herself to "The Commander," and ignore Jory.  However, Jory will not be ignored.  As Piper sees Jory, she gets to know him better, and he makes her question the story that "The Commander" told her.  Piper is going to have to chose a side in this war.  Who will she choose, Jory or "The Commander?"

Total Surrender was a fast-paced, gripping, addictive, and thrilling read!  There were plenty of twists and turns that kept me at the edge of my seat.  The passion and chemistry between Jory and Piper was intense and toe-curling!  The best part of the story was getting to have all of the amazing characters from the previous books reunited.  I love Shane, Josie, Matt, Laney, Nate, Audrey, and now Jory and Piper!  We also get to meet a few new characters in this finale, and Chance was a character that I adored.  I would love to see him get his own story when he is all grown up!  Fans of the Sins Brothers will love Total Surrender!  I highly recommend this series to readers that love Romantic Suspense.  This whole series has been phenomenal, from beginning to end!

My Rating:


I give, Total Surrender, by Rebecca Zanetti, 4.5 Sinfully Sexy, Dean Brother Dynamic, "Never Alone" Filled Stars!  This series is amazing, and one crazy, suspenseful, and passionate whirlwind ride!




My Favorite Quote:

"As a kid, Jory had known love.  But this feeling?  This feeling could only be had by a man for a woman--the woman--a combination of possessiveness, need, and protectiveness." (eARC, Loc. 2729)

~Jory

GR's Summary:

A betrayal he couldn't forget...

For Nate Dean, love is a four-letter word. As part of a secret black-ops military unit, he and his brothers were genetically engineered by the government to be ruthless soldiers with an expiration date. They were loyal only to one another . . . until Nate laid eyes on the woman who stole his heart and blew his world apart. Now, years later, his family is still paying the price for his mistake. But as time runs out, there's only one person who can save his family: the very woman Nate swore he'd never trust again. 

A love she couldn't deny . . . 

The moment Audrey Madison spies Nate across a crowded ballroom, she can barely breathe. He's just as undeniably sexy as she remembers, yet there's an edge to him now that's as irresistible as it is dangerous. When he asks for her help, Audrey can't refuse. But she has secrets of her own-secrets that, if Nate ever discovers them, may cost them both their lives . . .

My Thoughts:

I am officially hooked on the Sin Brothers Series!  I can't put these books down, and the suspense of the overall plot line just keeps building and building!  In my opinion, the Sin Brothers Series is top notch when it comes to romantic suspense!  It has all of the elements that I look for in an excellent story; well rounded characters, beautifully developed relationships, fascinating plot twists, some of the steamiest love scenes, and tender romantic entanglements!

In Blind Faith, we get a chance to know Nathan "Nate" Dean, the second oldest of the brothers.  He comes across a video journal by the malevolent Dr. Madison that says Nate  impregnated her daughter, Audrey five years ago.  Audrey was Nate's first and only love.  She broke his heart when she broke off the relationship with him, and he never thought that he'd see her again.  However, with the possibility that Nate might have a child, he decides to travel to Washington D.C, where Audrey currently resides, so that he can uncover the truth.

Audrey is working closely with a powerful senator to take down the commander and the corrupt business that he is running.  As she works closely to double cross the commander, she is surprised when Nate shows up at her apartment.  She pleads with him to leave, because it is too dangerous for him to be around her.  The commander has men tailing her.  Audrey never stopped loving Nate and left him, in order to protect him.  When Nate confides in Audrey about the kill chips, she decides that she wants to help him get the codes.  

Imminent Danger lurks all around Nate and Audrey.  Not only is the commander and his soldiers after them, but peers in Audrey's immediate professional circle begin turning up dead, and the killer is trying to frame her.  Will Nate and Audrey be able to rekindle their romance, and if so, how long will they live to see another day?   

My Rating:

Blind Faith was an excellent read!!!  I loved both Nate and Audrey!  It was such a thrill getting to read more about Matt, Shane, Lainey and Josie as well.  The loyalty and sense of family in their group is heartwarming.  "Never Alone," is the Dean Brothers motto, and adds another wonderful dimension to an already fabulous series.  Ms. Zanetti gave us plenty of passionate love scenes, crazy plot twists, and an action packed addictive plot line!  I give, Blind Faith, by Rebecca Zanetti, 4.5 Tempting and Teasing Passion Filled, Spine Tingling, and Red Hot Addictive Stars!



My Favorite Quote:

"He was an experiment created in a test tube, maybe without a soul, perhaps without any hope.  But 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." (eARC, Loc. 1192)

~Nate

My Thoughts:


Sweet Revenge was an excellent sequel in the Sin Brothers Series.  I love how Ms. Zanetti has one major plot line that is woven throughout the entire series, yet adds smaller unique plot lines to each book.  It makes each book in the story start off intense, gain momentum, and hold the readers attention from all of the suspense, action, and mystery that each book provides.

In this story, we get the oldest Dean Brother, Matt's story.  Time is running out for the Dean Brothers.  They each have a chip that was surgically embedded in their spine, and is due to explode after five years, if not reset or removed carefully and correctly.  Matt, Nate, and Shane's chip is due to go off and kill them in six weeks.  Matt is on a mission to find the surgeon who embedded the chips, so that he can save his brothers.  Based off of investigative work done by Shane, the location has been narrowed down to the small town of Charmed, Idaho, with three women that are most likely the surgeon that they are seeking.

When Matt arrives, he meets the beautiful, sassy, and sweet bar owner, Laney Jacobs.  He establishes his cover story by  becoming a bouncer and bar hand, which also provides him with a small apartment above the bar.  As Matt begins his search for the surgeon, he finds himself drawn to Laney.  He doesn't need any distractions, but he quickly falls for her and is determined to protect her.  You see, a serial killer is on the loose, targeting beautiful and professional women is small sleepy towns.  As Matt and Laney begin to fall in love, they wonder if they will survive the constant threat of danger that surrounds them.

The Dean brothers are sexy, strong, loyal, and deadly!  These alpha's will be loved by any hot-blooded female!  This series seems to be picking up momentum, and getting better with each book.  I find myself highly invested in the lives of the Dean Brothers, and I am hopeful that all of them will get their happily ever afters.  We still don't know if the youngest Dean Brother, Jory is alive, but there is hope.    


My Rating:


Nate's story is next, and from the ending in Sweet Revenge, it promises to be a great one!!! I give, Sweet Revenge, by Rebecca Zanetti, 4.5 Searingly Swoon-Worthy, Adrenaline Filled, Dangerous and Deadly Stars!  I could not put this book down.  The pages flew by, the plot twists kept my rapt attention, and the ending blew my mind!  I am about to begin, Blind Faith, and have high hopes for this next segment in the series.

My Thoughts:

Forgotten Sins is the first book in the romantic suspense series, Sin Brothers by Rebecca Zanetti.  I could easily seen this story coming to the life in the movie theater.  Their was action, suspense, intrigue, mystery, conspiracy, and red hot seduction!  From the very start, Forgotten Sins grabbed my attention and kept it through!  Talk about crazy plot twists, secrets, and enemies everywhere!

Shane Dean wakes up in a hospital, with a concussion and amnesia.  He doesn't remember anything about his life.  The detective on the case finds Josie's information.  When she comes to the hospital, she informs him that she is his wife, but he left her two years ago without any explanation. Shane doesn't know how he could have ever left Josie.  She looks like an angel, and he may not remember any specifics about his life, but he knows in his heart that he loved her.  

Josie has been trying to reach Shane so that he would sign divorce papers.  She has finally moved on from him, and now he's back to break her heart again, if she lets him.  Shane always kept secrets from Josie, so she knows very little about his life before her.  

They had a whirlwind romance, got married, and were together only a few months before he left her.  Those months were the happiest of her life, because she was finally a part of a family.  Being an orphan her whole life, and going from foster home to foster home has been lonely.  She decides to stay by Shane's side long enough to help him, and find out the real reason that he left her.  Is this Shane and Josie's second chance at love, or will he break her heart all over again?

I loved Forgotten Sins.  Some of my favorite parts included bits and pieces of Shane's memory coming back to him.  His childhood was intriguing and horrifying at the same time.  Shane has super human abilities with hearing, strength, and fighting.  As he began to put the pieces of his life back together, it made for an excellent story.  There were a ton of plot twists, which kept the story exciting, and me constantly guessing who the bad guys were.

The romance and passion between Shane and Josie was red hot!  Ms. Zanetti knows how to craft a sensual seduction that is full of intense and raw sexuality.  The feelings and passion between these two characters was palpable.  I loved Shane's brothers Matt and Nathan!  I cannot wait to read their stories and learn more about the youngest brother, Jory.

My Rating:

Forgotten Sins is one of my favorite stories in the adult romantic suspense genres!  It had all the aspects that make a book in this genre great; such as action, plot twists, red hot romance, suspense, and mysteries to be solved.  What a wild ride!  I cannot wait to continue this series.  I give, Forgotten Sins by Rebecca Zanetti, 4 Heart Racing, Action-Packed, Seductive, Sexy, Super Soldier Filled Stars!
