Nate wants to harden his heart to the woman he planned to love for eternity, the one who would make a family with him that he and his brothers always dreamed about and then left him brokenhearted. Except when he sees her across the ballroom floor and hold her in his arms for a dance, the old feelings between them spark anew and although they try to bury them, the love they shared was just too strong to deny for long.
But Nate is correct about one thing, Audrey isn’t the same woman he knew five years ago. She was badly hurt during the brothers’s escape and she owes the Commander for using his medical team to save her life. So to repay the Commander, Audrey has been working for Senator Nash to make sure the Commander’s project is the one that receives the Senator’s committee’s funding. Except Audrey has plans of her own. She is working with the Senator to take down the Commander, but in a world of politics and black ops military, choosing your allies is a tricky business. Nate wants Audrey safe, but until he is certain of her loyalties, he can’t bring her to his family.
With so much on the line, it is even more important for Audrey to make sure the Commander trusts her so she can get into the facility and find the information to save Nate and his brothers. They have lost five years, and she refuses to lose Nate forever.
THOUGHTS:
The Sin Brothers series has been thrilling and captivating so far, but this is my favorite story hands down. You know I’m a sucker for a friends to lover story, and a reunited lover’s story falls under the same trope for me. With these stories you already have a history between the hero and heroine and it is never an unbelievable jump to find the love. From their first dance, you could tell that the embers still burned between these two and it doesn’t take much to stoke that fire.
Nash gave me a strong Captain American vibe so of course in my head I saw him as Chris Evans. He is very protective and morally just. He was the one to try to protect his older brother Matt, as well as give his two younger brothers a feeling of family. He is willing to sacrifice himself to get the information he needs for his brothers, so they have have futures with their new wives.
Audrey too gives off that “sacrifice anything to make things right” vibe. Nate wants to get her safely away from the Commander but she has her own secret motives to stay which she isn’t willing to share with Nate at first since she knows he won’t risk her tangling with the Commander.
**Small Spoilers.*** My only annoyance is that in the first two books, Audrey is talked about between the brothers like a conniving, heartless bitch who set up Nate to fall in love with her and to destroy him. Yet, when she explains that the Commander made her break up with him, which she did to protect him, Nate gives her the “yeah, that’s what I figured happened.” If this was no revelation to him, why all the anger toward her in Book #1 and #2. Also, I will complain that plot wise, the Commander making her break up with Nate made no sense. I anticipated that Audrey broke up with Nate because Dr. Madison and the Commander was going to use Nate’s feelings for her to get between Nate and his brothers. The brothers had such a strong bond that the Commander and the Dr. were always trying to screw with them and threaten each of the brothers to keep the other in line. To me, I would think the Commander would find it more useful to use Nate’s feelings for Audrey in a more “chose which one lives: Audrey or your brother” fashion.
This was a great addition to a great series. Sadly the last installment isn’t slated to come out until next March!! Boo to waiting!
Received an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
