Exciting, intense and action-packed with a gorgeous second-chance romance, this is a wonderful story and a great close for the series \u2013 as well as additional closure for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?page_id=15322\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Sin Brothers<\/i><\/a> series (this series is a spin-off from the <i>Sin Brothers<\/i>, and while you don\u2019t have to have read the <i>Sin Brothers<\/i> to understand this one, it definitely provides great background. Also be aware that this series contains spoilers for the original). Denver\u2019s story is my favourite in the series, I absolutely loved it!<\/p>\n<p>Denver Jones is the youngest of three blood brothers. The boys met in a group home where they banded together in order to survive a hellish existence, and where they learned that they had been genetically modified to become super soldiers, with enhanced skills and natural abilities. The boys have been on the run since they were teenagers, and have set themselves up as successful investigators. But their primary mission is to hunt down the people responsible for ruining their lives.<\/p>\n<p>In the last two books we have seen Denver\u2019s two older brothers fall in love while Denver has remained quiet, clearly struggling after walking away from the woman he loves, Noni, after a brief relationship a year previously. The last book ended with Noni reaching out to Denver on the internet asking for his help \u2013 a situation which put the brothers and herself in immediate danger as their enemies close in, so Denver ran off to save the day. Exciting!<\/p>\n<p>Noni is in the race of her life, trying to find her foster sister\u2019s three month old baby. Noni was made the infant\u2019s guardian after her sister\u2019s death, but the child has been taken by its father \u2013 a drugged-up member of a criminal MC, and she is desperate to find her. She doesn\u2019t know a lot about Denver\u2019s background, but she knows that he is an investigator, and though he broke her heart when he unexpectedly left her, she knows that he is her only hope. And when he rocks up on her doorstep all growly and tough, their two worlds are about to collide in ways neither of them could have expected.<\/p>\n<p>OMG, I loved this book! From beginning to end it\u2019s a wild ride of excitement, action and suspense, and I could not put it down! The two action\/suspense storylines make this a really exciting read, with so much happening &#8211; all of it really full on and continuing to build as the book progresses, and I read frantically, desperate to see how it was all going to play out.<\/p>\n<p>And the love story is gorgeous! The chemistry between Denver and Noni is palpable from the first moment they are together. They clearly both have strong feelings for each other, and the emotion is really beautifully written. And the sexual tension is explosive as their attraction to each other literally sizzles though tension and animosity, mad lust and more.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cWhat do you want?\u201d She gasped<br \/>\nHis eyes deepened. All of those blue flecks commingled into something dark. \u201cBaby, if I answered that, I really would scare you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s hot and steamy, and so, so passionate. And the emotional element to the sexy time builds the intensity as all of the feelings Denver and Noni have for each other consume them once again.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI\u2019ve hurt you enough,\u201d he countered softly.<br \/>\nShe moved, turning and straddling him, her thighs outside his hard ones. Atop him, facing him, was exactly where she wanted to be. \u201cMaybe this time I\u2019ll hurt you.\u201d<br \/>\nHis chin lifted, and his eyes darkened to a dangerous blue. Intensity, so sharp it hurt to see, swirled there. \u201cYou\u2019ve already slayed me through, darlin\u2019.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And combined with their situation, it makes for a sensational read! It\u2019s definitely not a normal environment for a love story to develop, but despite all that they are faced with, it all feels so natural as they easily fall back together \u2013 dealing with their emotions, the intensity of their current predicament, as well as the secrets between them and all of the emotion from the past. It\u2019s a lot, but it\u2019s balanced perfectly, with the story moving at a great pace and the romance standing strong and beautiful in the middle of all of the chaos.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cYou\u2019ll never be free of me. I love you, Noni \u2026 I\u2019ll protect you &#8230; Love you &#8230; Be whatever you need me to be.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Denver\u2019s backstory (like his brothers) is tragic, and my heart broke seeing how deeply affected he still is by all that he has been through, the way he has dealt with it, and the impact it has had on his life. We really get to see his vulnerable side, his sweet nature and his need to protect those close to him, and his loyalty and devotion is beautiful! There is so much that he needs to deal with, and this book is a true journey for him in addition to everything else that happens, and I really enjoyed that part of the story.<\/p>\n<p>Of course Ryker and Heath are a big part of the story, and the Dean boys from the <i>Sins Brothers<\/i> books make an appearance, and I loved seeing them again. The bond that these boys have is beautifully explored, and as much as I love the way they tease and joke with each other, it\u2019s the emotional aspect of their connection is something really special.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI don\u2019t regret a second. Not one moment of everything we\u2019ve been through. We found one another.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2026 \u201cThank you for being my brothers.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>*sniff*<\/p>\n<p>I loved the way that Zanetti wove these stories together, giving us so much in each book, tying them together in a way that provides depth and plenty of build-up, but it\u2019s never overwhelming. It\u2019s just the right amount of everything, and I loved every single moment of it!<\/p>\n<p>5 stars!<\/p>\n<p><i>An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided via NetGalley in exchange for an
