    Plot and Story Line
  
 
Oh, my GOODNESS!!! Why have I waited so long to read this series *banging head against the wall* simply phenomenal and I read this so fast I could barely see straight. So dang good and boy did it pack a punch. Now I have read this author before, and even though I adore her Dark Protectors...these brothers...whew they are dang sexy, each and every one of them. This is Shane's story, he is the third brother. What we have here is four brothers, that were genetically altered, due to a military experiment, and they were raised in a military compound. Being taught to fight and to kill. But they have a motto "Never Alone", they stand together, fight together, and if necessary will die together. They have protected each other and will not give up on each other. The bonds that these brothers have to each other is so fantastic, they don't know what a family is, but you see they bond even though out of all the boys from the military training facility, they are the only brothers that stand together and love each other. Shane here is suffering from amnesia, which is not a good thing, considering that the brothers are being hunted by their enemy and the man that raised them, and trained them to kill. Shane married Janie because he fell in love and thought that he could protect her. But when he learns that his youngest brother has been killed, he is forced to leave Janie. What was most admirable about this book was seeing the sparks fly between Shane and Janie.
“I may not know myself right now, sweetheart. But I know I wouldn’t have let you go.” No way was he that fucking stupid
They definitely have no trouble in the sex department, and boy these two have quite the sensual explosion.
“We are married.”
“We’re about to get divorced.”…
“No.” He licked up her ear to bite the shell.
She shivered in response. “Yes.”
“Nope.” His palm spread out across her bare midriff. “I may have screwed up, and we’ll find out why, but I won’t hurt you again. You’re mine, angel. The only thing in life that matters.”
From the very beginning of the story, there is quite a mystery surrounding Shane, and you sense how much Janie is trying to work through her feelings for Shane. Janie is such a lovely heroine, I quite adored her because she stood on her own, fighting for what she believed in and didn't back down. She had spine and heart and loved that quality to her character. Also what I found most endearing about her character, was how she treats the brothers. She has never had a true family, but she treats them as her own brothers and that just made me love her character even more. The danger sense increases with each chapter, and boy it never ended, and I LOVED every single moment of this book. I just couldn't put it down. And boy there were quite a few shocks that totally changed everything and threw me off. Unpredictable and packed with plenty of action and intensity. Literally this is one of the best reads all year!!! Rebecca Zanetti has done it again, created a thrilling and edgy fast paced romance that will have you at the edge of your seats.
 
  
    The Cover 
  
 
First thing I noticed about this cover...is the eyes. We have a golden them to the cover, and then those vivid blue eyes, what a contrast and really draws the eye. Love the stance of confidence and sexy appeal.
 
  
    Overall View 
  
 
Forgotten Sins is a book that will capture your attention from the first chapter....a sexy romance that has edge and mystery with plenty of sensuality and a reconnecting of two hearts.
"I love you angel."
The words were soft.
The tone possessive.
The promise absolute.

Rebecca Zanetti has done it again with another hit novel. You know a author is going to make it big when they can write well written novels in different genres. Rebecca Zanetti wowed me with her Paranormal Romance, loved her Contemporary Romance and now she has wowed me with her Romantic Suspense. 

The Prologue was a brilliant way to setting up Forgotten Sins. It gives you a little insight to Shane and his brothers Matt, Nathan and Jory’s life. It does not tell you exactly what is going on with them but you have an idea of what it possibly could be. Readers are in the dark as much as Shane is about remembering his past. The pacing of Shane remembering his past is well done. 

Shane can not understand why he would leave his wife for two years. Not only does he want to find out about his past but he needs to know why he left her, because his mind might not remember her but his body sure does. For some reason the last two years he can not remember even when his memories are coming back about his past with his brothers and Josie. Loved Shane’s character with his Alpha male attitude. He has to protect who he loves and his family, it is in his nature. He does not threaten he acts when any harm is done with Josie.

Josie needs to know why he left her, where he has been the last two years. She needs answers not some overbearing protector. She needs to know who she married. Loved her feistiness and backbone and knows just what to say to get her way with Shane.

Shane is different now, he does not always have control around her and shows his feelings more. At times he still treats her like she is fragile and delicate like she is made out of glass. She wants him to see the real her, the woman who could be his match. He is more dominate in the bedroom that leaves to some hot fan-yourself-sex scenes.

The brotherly love is perfect. Matt and Nathan are a hoot. All brothers have their own personalities. They all play a big role in Forgotten Sins but never take away from Shane and Josie story. Please tell me Jory is still in the picture. I think there is more to Jory than what the brothers know. I still feel like the last two years with Shane was left a little open and hope in future novels it continues with Jory.

The action was perfect I felt like I was watching a movie. For a Romantic Suspense I felt the romance was 40% and Action 60%. I tend to usually like half and half but it worked for me considering Shane had no memories. For me it flowed great with the plot. 

Forgotten Sins is a definite page turner with tons of twist and surprises I did not see coming. I needed to know Who is Shane, where has he been the last two years and why did he leave Josie. Forgotten Sins is a Keeper. Love the sexy cover and the title is perfect with the story line. If never read Rebecca Zanetti novels before I would definitely buy Forgotten Sins for the cover and synopsis. Both cover and synopsis portray the novel perfect. Forgotten Sins is a great start to a kick butt series. I can not wait to see who is up next in Sins Brothers and their cover.

Oh, Rebecca Sanetti definitely knows how to write action packed romance suspense stories. I could not put down Forgotten Sins when I first started reading. It will capture all of the reader attention from the first page. It contains so much suspense yet strong romance. I have to admitted that I just adore Josie from the first chapter. She has so much strong attribute yet she possess some vulnerable when she is around her husband, Shane. Oh, Shane is just the typical sexy Alpha men, however, there are some moments that I wanted to shake him but then he would redeem his self. Josie has not heard from her husband for several years that she is definitely surprise to get a phone call about her husband. There are deep issue between them that it will definitely take some times to repair their issue. They both help each other because Shane cannot remember anything, however, things get dangerous when Shane recover his memories. They both go through a dangerous adventure in order to figure out who is hunting them. I really enjoy the suspense in Forgotten Sins that it makes the read so much quicker. Reader will enjoy the hot and action suspense in Forgotten Sins. They will also enjoy the romance between Josie and Shane because they have hot chemistry for each other that all of the reader will root for them. 
*4.5 Star*
