Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

An action-packed starter to the Sin Brothers<\/i> series – full of romance, sex, intrigue, a bunch of super hot alphas and all-round badassery. How could I not love it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The book starts with Josie visiting her husband in hospital. Not an unusual situation, except that Josie hasn\u2019t seen Shane for two years after he up and left her after a whirlwind romance and three months of marriage. He has woken in the hospital after taking a baseball bat to the head and suffering from amnesia. He has no clue who she is, let alone what he has been doing for the last two years.<\/p>\n

Josie was left devastated and broken hearted when Shane left her, and she\u2019s not over him. And even though she is determined to move on with her plans to divorce him in an effort to move on with her life, she ends up taking Shane home with her until he gets some sort of memory back.<\/p>\n

Being in close proximity to each other, they both realise that there is still incredible chemistry between them, and as much as Josie may try to fight it, the love and desire between them is still very much present.<\/p>\n

\u201cI may not know myself right now, sweetheart. But I know I wouldn\u2019t have let you go.\u201d No way was he that fucking stupid.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But it soon becomes very clear that their relationship is full of secrets, and always has been. And when dead bodies show up in the exact location where Shane was found, it only provokes more questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need your trust, angel. You\u2019re all I\u2019ve got.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although he loved Josie madly, the old Shane blocked her out, he thought she was delicate, and was determined to protect her. He put her on a pedestal, not wanting to expose her to the dangers of his life, and it frustrated the hell out of her. He\u2019s now rougher, more dangerous, and less controlled (mainly in the bedroom *fans self*), and she\u2019s starting to see more of him than she ever has before.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love you, angel. It\u2019s the one thing I remember without a doubt \u2026 I\u2019m not letting you go.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Josie is right by Shane\u2019s side as his memory starts returning and he shares with her the secrets of his past. And slowly they both unravel the enigma of Shane – his childhood, his seemingly supernatural abilities, and his equally kickass brothers. The introduction of Shane\u2019s brothers Matt and Nathan into the story brings a whole new level of awesome \u2013 not only are they able to shed light on more of Nathan\u2019s past, but with the added banter, protectiveness, and the overwhelming badassery, the three boys together are absolutely sensational!<\/p>\n

While this is all going on, they are still trying to unravel the mystery of why Shane left. As well as how he ended up in the town she fled to after he left her, where he has been for two years, and who is behind a series of attacks on the both of them.<\/p>\n

And all the while, they are rediscovering their love for each other, and the passion between them is fantastic. Shane\u2019s alpha and controlling nature follows him into the bedroom giving us some sensational steamy time, and he is full of swoony talk as he opens his heart to Josie and shows her how determined he is never to let her go again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are married.\u201d
\n\u201cWe\u2019re about to get divorced.\u201d\u2026
\n\u201cNo.\u201d He licked up her ear to bite the shell.
\nShe shivered in response. \u201cYes.\u201d
\n\u201cNope.\u201d His palm spread out across her bare midriff. \u201cI may have screwed up, and we\u2019ll find out why, but I won\u2019t hurt you again. You\u2019re mine, angel. The only thing in life that matters.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The story twists and turns all over the place with multiple threads running through the book, bringing lots of kickass action scenes, lots of mystery and intrigue, and plenty of opportunities not only for Shane to go all badass, but for Josie to prove just how strong she actually is, and I loved the way she handled her situation. No stupid heroines here!<\/p>\n

I love Josie and Shane, and I absolutely love them together! Despite their murky background, they stood strong together, determined to defend and protect each other, and they were both incredibly honest with each other. They have a lot to overcome, and face more complications that either of them ever realised, and I loved their journey.<\/p>\n

The foundations are laid for future books in the series as the brothers continue to battle against the evil of their past, and fight for their future, and I\u2019m really excited to see what happens next.<\/p>\n

I loved it \u2013 4.5 stars.<\/p>\n
