Sweet Revenge (Sin Brothers)

by Rebecca Zanetti

[EBookObsessed]

Matt Dean and his brothers, Nathan, Shane and Jory, were genetically engineered to be the ultimate soldiers. Unlike the other “brothers” in the experiment, these brothers fought for each other and to protect each other. But their time is running out. They escaped the facility five years ago and have kept themselves out of the Commander’s reach, but each brother was implanted with a chip which, if not coded every five years, will detonate and snap their spines. With only weeks left to live, the brothers are working non-stop following leads and tracking down sources trying to deactivate the chips.

Matt is now in Charmed, Idaho, looking for one of the doctors who implanted the chip. The brothers aren’t the only ones who went under after escaping the facility. Except the doctor has made a mistake and left a trail leading them to Charmed. They have narrow down the doctor to one of three women and Matt needs to figure out which one of them is also hiding from the Commander.

He arrives in Charmed wounded, and is amazed by the kindness shown by the local bar owner, Laney. When he sees a help wanted sign in her window, he knows he has found the perfect cover to stick around and uncover his missing doctor. He only has a window of two weeks to track her down and he doesn’t have time to waste, but he can’t help being drawn to Laney. She is trouble in more ways than one and when someone starts stalking her, Matt knows he can’t just walk away and leave her defenseless.

Time is running out for Matt and his brothers so now isn’t the time to fall in love but Matt just can’t resist the feisty Laney and as danger surrounds them, their time might have just have run out.

THOUGHTS:
I loved it!! I love Rebecca Zanetti and this series is just as exciting as her Dark Protector series. Matt is the oldest of the brothers and as such, he has appointed himself as their father-figure, their protector, and their trainer. He made sure the brothers were never split up as children going up against the ruthless Commander even at the age of 12. He has spent his life trying to keep his brothers alive and anytime they are hurt, he takes it as a personal failure. Falling for Laney and trying to keep her safe is the first time in his life that someone else is as important as his brothers and it is overwhelming to realize how important she is to him. Matt’s the kind of guy you want to be the center of his focus.

Laney has never had anyone to count on and she is torn between feeling annoyed at Matt’s rules and restrictions and being overwhelmed by the fact that someone cares enough to stand by her. Laney is hiding many secrets and for a man trained to detect lies and seduce secrets them out of a woman, Matt definitely has his work cut out for him since Laney isn’t willing to share those secrets no matter how sexy the temptation. I loved that she frustrated him by rolling her eyes at him ever time he gave her an order. Matt is used to his brothers following his orders. No one has ever sassed him before.

As always, Rebecca drops a bomb at the end of the story to make you frantic for the next installment. Added to that is the fact that their youngest brother Jory was captured and killed but that doubts have now surfaced that the video of his death was faked or he somehow survived being shot. After what happened to Jace in her Dark Protector series, I have no doubt we will find Jory alive, but probably not without some mental damage after being under the control of the Commander and his psycho doctor.

I am looking forward to seeing what happens next in Nathan’s story.
