Really i haven't see the fime flying so this post comes up later than i intented but at least it's up^^. If you know me you are aware of my love for paranormal romance and urban fantasy that stay true but lately i've been a little more attracted to another of the genre i love the romantic suspense.... i love the investigation, the suspense and the HEA. it's not a new taste more one that i come to enjoy regulary by episode if you see what i mean. Anyway perhaps it'qs the summer time or simply what i needed but romantic suspense titles called to me from the TBR pile and thus i gave them priority.
Today i'm starting with one that makes the transition wonderfully since it include some supernatural element in addition the well done romance suspense. Here comes my opinion on "Forgotten Sins" by Rebecca Zanetti

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?
My opinion:
The author wrote a suspense romance with supernatural elements and the
final result is really captivating. Shane is mysterious, even for him since he
has amnesia, but loyal and so protective… with the glimpses the author gives us
of his childhood he becomes irresistible: A teddy bear heart in a deadly body.
Oh he can also be authoritative and
commanding but his past explains it so we can’t stay angry with him. I must say
that I was touched by his view on women…. I don’t exactly agree on it but I
found it moving . how the TV show he saw
built his want and hope… the child part in the military man made me want to hug him.
Josie is interesting too… I can’t say I
related well to her at the beginning though. I did appreciated that she was
loyal in her own way but the way she tried to protect herself, not trusting her
instinct irritate me. Shane saves her and how she repays him? By going to Tom….
I really disliked him from the start, too insisting, the way he is always in
the vicinity with a smile and condescending. I really not see how he can make
her feel safe.
Her past was traumatic for sure and she
survived it, like Shane in fact, she has a idea of what a family is quite
idealized and she wants that. Her marriage to Shane was short , 2months, and
quick since she knew him only for 3 weeks . However no matter how short it was
and how little she knew him it made a huge impact on her. Yes she wanted divorce but it was more an
attempt to catch his attention that something else ( I think)
I did start to appreciate her more when
she revealed more of herself and started to stand for what she believes in.
Aside the characters, the story in
itself had me hooked. The investigations about who tried to kill Josie and/ or
Shane as well as his research of his past with only his love and protective
instinct awakened at first. The super soldiers trained from birth some with
special talents was a really interesting elements that made Shane, and later
his brothers, more attaching. We want to learn more and it’s hard not to hate
those who made children suffer like that, ( on that side I do wonder where went
the “ disappearing” children…afterall there were quite a investment). The
commander and doctor Madison makes great villain we want to see punished badly
( I don’t think the Audrey case is what it looks like…; the commander is really
too devious for that) The rhythm and the twists makes this book one you need to
read without break because putting it down is near to impossible.
Really I want more of this series, to
learn about Shane’s Brother, to see them saved and the villains punished. This
book doesn’t end on a cliffhanger but it left me wanting for more; it was a perfectly balance between suspense
and romance the paranormal/ supernatural element adding a delicious savour .
If you want a good suspense romance with
special element and military to it try this one you will be more than pleased.
Score: 4,5/5
