Summary

I've loved once. I gave everything that I had to that love. Blindly believing that nothing could ever take that feeling away from me. Away from us. And when my little world of happiness was ripped from my fingers, I felt a loss that still haunts me to this day.



Now I use that lingering grief as a shield to keep my heart from loving again. It's that fear that keeps me from letting anyone, except my daughter, get close enough to make it hurt. To make my heart bleed when I inevitably lose again.



Until the day I met Liam Beckett and everything I thought I had protected myself from was shoved back in my face.



He's on a mission to prove to me that a love worth having is a love worth fighting for.

Review

Ok, I'm going to be honest. I wanted Megan to give in from page one.

I mean this is Liam Beckett and we all know who his dad is. (If you don't- STOP and read the Corps Security books first or else you'll be so lost you'll never be found) And because I knew his dad's story I knew this man was made of steel and whatever [whoever] he committed to - was for the long haul. 

This love story did not disappoint. Megan is in a hard place and she needs to heal. Intellectually, I get it and I agree she does need to heal but still....

So when Megan has her "come to Jesus" moment in the bathroom I am all for it. I was screaming yes yes yes FINALLY. Give in to the luscious temptation that is Liam. 

But as much as I plotted on Megan I still had to acknowledge that her recent loss has messed her up such that she doesn't know up from down.

Harper did an amazing job of playing this up and showing you how much Jack meant to her. I mean...sob city. There is plenty evidence of how broken she is, how she is NOT dealing with it and how it is leaking out onto her family.

Now Molly. If there was ever a child that I fell in love with ALMOST as much as Cohen - its Molly. I won't spoil it, but tea parties are so important in this book.

There are so many relationship dynamics running thru this book and friendship is running neck and neck with love. Dani (from Hope Town book 1) and Liam are best friends. I wholeheartedly believe that their close friendship played such a huge part in Liam's patience and understanding because he and Dani were somewhat the same as Jack and Megan, minus the obvious. My eyes were pealed for every eye opener Megan had because they were very necessary. I wanted so much for her to live, to move on and to give Liam the same type of love he was offering her. Liam deserved a medal for the Job-like patience he was serving up to Megan. But when Megan finally came through cue Air Supply's Two Less Lonely People in the World....

Three things Jesse Carter has found. Reborn into a brotherhood not so different from the one he left behind, Jesse finds it all too easy to block out his past and claim the role as Rebels' fun-loving player.

Until he meets Bell.
Shy, awkward, and with troubles of her own, Bell Johnson's no stranger to hiding her pain. When Jesse forces himself into her life, she’s at risk of her defences crumbling.

Review


Oh my goodness, was there ever a more complicated man in a series? Jesse was so broken and seemed happy to stay that way and I don't think anyone can argue that Bell is living half of a life I know they shouldn't be sharing a bed. He knows. She knows. EVERYONE KNOWS. These two are a train wreck of destiny. You know its going to blow up in both of their faces and all you can do is sit on the sidelines and watch.

But oh what a journey.


I love the build up of their relationship. If you're familiar with this series then you know that Bell aka Nurse Bell has appeared in a previous book and she is not here for Jesse at all.







But he turns on the charm and forces some interactions with her and she's caught.

Jesse is living with some serious guilt and a crapload of PTSD from his time as a soldier. Bell is living with the kidnapping and possible death of her older sister. Their common ground is both of their family situations are less than nice. Jesse absolutely despises his father and Bell, as I mentioned before, is trying to live her own life while at the same time deal with an overprotective mother and a depressed father. Neither of these two are in any position to start any type of relationship, f__k buddy or otherwise. And when the sh*t hit the fan I was literally open-mouthed in Jesse's response. I knew he was messed up, but I didn't know how much so until the scene he made.






As in most arguments and altercations both sides throw the truth around and the other's eyes are opened to it. What I think is amazing is how they were able to internalize it, use it to make adjustments to themselves and move forward.

In my opinion, this book is a helluva follow up to Incandescent and Affliction.

Forgotten Sins (Sin Brothers, #1) by Rebecca Zanetti

Forgotten Sins by Rebecca Zanetti
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.



I am no newcomer when it comes to Rebecca Zanetti, but something made me pick up the Sin Brothers series. I devoured the Dark Protector series a month or two ago and I was due for another fix. I read a review for the newest release and told myself I needed to get the entire series and start from Book One. And thank heaven for 7 eleven that I did.

Genetically engineered soldiers categorized into a team by eye color. I AM SO THERE. The Sin Brothers, which is actually the name of their security firm, consists of Matt, Nate, Shane and Jory. This book is about Shane who has been discovered with amnesia and the only person the hospital contacts is his estranged wife of two years, Josie. Now Josie hasn't seen hide nor hair of Shane in two years ( did I say that already :) ) and doesn't know whether to kick his @$$ or kiss him.

The chemistry between these two leaps off the pages and slaps you right in the boobs.



The action scenes and the suspense in this book. Woo wee! One minute you think okay so the trouble they're in has nothing to do with the brothers' secret military project status, but then...



The author hits you with little tidbits that make you think otherwise, but you're not entirely sure.....I LOVED THIS BOOK.
And to the author


Headed to read book 2.....

Tatted up and delicious is all you need to know.

LR pulled me in from the start. The way Jared described his obsession [interest] with Kalista I was team get her into bed asap Jared. The entire atmosphere of Breakers, TX seems like an amazing place to live. Not to mention every business there seems like an awesome place to hang out and scope man candy especially the Fight Hard gym. I liked the fact that the gym was a gym downstairs and a rehabilitation clinic upstairs. Serving those that served for us in the military was a nice touch.
LR also did a wonderful job laying the groundwork for future Breakers Bad Boy series i.e. introducing the reader to Jared's military friends and Kalista's female friends. I can't wait.

And those love scenes. Jared and Kali burn the pages up.
The two of them together are smoking.


The stairwell scene.


The conference room scene at the wedding. Nuff said.


Great read!
