Forgotten Sins by Rebecca Zanetti (Sin Brothers #1)

ARC from NetGalley.com for an honest review. 

His Secrets Can Destroy Her

From the moment Josie laid eyes on sexy, mysterious Shane Dean, she was in love. Their desire ignited a passionate affair, and within weeks, Shane had slipped a ring on her finger. It seemed her every fantasy was coming true . . . until her new husband disappeared without a trace. Now, two years and one broken heart later, Josie is shocked by the hospital calls: Shane has been found . . . at a crime scene with no memory of how he got there.

Her Love Can Save Him

Shane can't remember the blue-eyed angel at his bedside—or who he even is—but he knows something isn't right. His hearing is razor sharp, his physical strength incredible, and the urge to protect Josie overwhelming. For powerful enemies are hunting him, and Josie is the key to discovering why. As Shane struggles to unravel his past, dangerous new truths come to light. Can he protect the only woman he's ever loved? And can Josie trust a man she thought she knew—one who carries such a deadly secret?

Josie Dean has suffered enough. She has been abandoned by her husband Shane Dean. Even though their romance was a fast and life altering event, for her, he probably thought otherwise. Because after their most passionate night in their marriage she awoke to find that her husband was gone.
It's been two years since she's heard from Shane. Called on by Detective Malloy to verify the identity of patient in the hospital found beaten and battered Josie suddenly finds herself in front of the one person she thought she'd never see again. Shane. But now, he is a different person. He's got amnesia.

Although he can't remember anything that happened from the last two years Shane still knows in his heart that he most definitely loved Josie. Reason why he left? He still can't figure it out. He also can't figure out why he has heightened senses and abilities he can't explain like major ass kicking skills and computer wiz abilities. Still, he knows one thing. He is not letting go of Josie again.

People are after Shane and his brothers. The same people who created them. This is their first journey into redemption for what was done to them as children. He and his brothers are out for blood. Who's? The Commander's. He is the man who trained them since "birth" to be ultimate killing machines.
But his first priority is to keep Josie safe. She isn't making it easy but they will both have to see if this time their love is enough to keep them together.


Okay, this book is filled with action packed scenes. But, yeah, I felt really bad for Josie at one end of the story. I mean seriously? How many times can one person be abducted in a day? This girl has BALLS! and I mean it. She may be dainty and "soft" but she can sure protect herself. Shane and his brothers, are the cliche alpha male pack. They protect what is theirs. And now since Shane decides that there is NO way that he is letting Josie go a second time the three brothers are there to protect her. Although, in the end Josie I guess is the one who ends up protecting them. :)

Rome (Marked Men #3) by Jay Crownover

http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1378491674l/17798233.jpg

 Sometimes the wrong choice can be just right . . .

Fun and fearless, Cora Lewis knows how to keep her tattooed "bad boy" friends at the Marked in line. But beneath all that flash and sass is a broken heart. Cora won't let herself get burned again. She's waiting to fall in love with the perfect man—a baggage-free, drama-free guy ready for commitment. Then she meets Rome Archer.

Rome Archer is as far from perfect as a man can be. He's stubborn, rigid, and bossy. And he's returned from his final tour of duty more than a little broken. Rome's used to filling many roles: big brother, doting son, supersoldier—but none of those fit anymore. Now he's just a man trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the dark demons of war and loss at bay. He would have been glad to suffer through it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes a blinding flash of color in a sea of gray.Perfect may not be in the cards, but perfectly imperfect could just last forever . . .

Oh yes, boys and girls! The third book in the Marked Men series is out! And I must say Jay Crownover as always, did NOT disappoint! I absolutely adored Cora and Rome's story! The ups and downs that Rome goes through to find a way back to fit into civilian life and his family life. Still trying to figure out what role he is to play in everyone's lives. All these years he's been in the war while the loved ones he left behind have moved on and no longer seem to rely on him anymore. Also trying to figure out how to get over things eating him up inside, his brother's death, his PTSD and nightmares haunting him. He stumbles upon a bar owned by ex soldier Brite who eventually takes Rome under his wing and tries to help him through all the troubles of trying to fit in to civilian life. Rome is then pulled into a romance with Cora, Marked's shop manager.

Cora has been hurt once by her ex-fiance who she thought was her one and only. Only to find out he was just a cheating slime ball. She is damaged and cautious to giving her heart out to someone who isn't her exact description of Mr. Perfect. But she ends up attacted and pulled towards Rome Archer, just something about him draws her to him. These two go through a wonderful journey at finding love, acceptance and peace in their lives. This book will absolutely not disappoint. If you've read the last two books Rule and Jet you will most definitely enjoy this one ;)

p.s:

The epilogue drops a total bomb on what we are going to find out next in the Marked Men series which will be tackling Nate's story. 

I will end this with a few of the wonderful quotes I got out of this book:

 "Relationships are not tailor-made and people are flawed. You have to work around that and love the other person anyway. Out flaws are what make us unique, and while Rule might not be perfect, he is absolutely perfect for me." -Shaw 

"I was tired of trying to guess what others' expectations of me were and had to get my head around the idea that my expectations of myself were enough" -Rome 

"Some of us found it in the love of a good woman and making a family, others, like Brite, found what was next by helping the most lost of us onto a better path. Whatever your next is kid, it'll find you or you'll find it. Don't beat yourself up about it." -Torch 

"He always tells me I color his entire world, but he did the same thing for me. If what I felt for Jimmy is beige, then what I feel for Rome is a damn box of Crayola crayons." - Cora 

"Someone had to set you right. I knew I could do it. Love is never perfect, big brother. It's what you make of the imperfections in it that makes the ride worthwhile." - Remy
