Forgotten Sins

 
Forgotten Sins
by Rebecca Zanetti
Released 7/2/13
 
 
This is a suspense/romance book with the focus on suspense.   The plot is fast paced and all about danger to the heroine, Josie.   She is in constant danger, brought upon by her relationship with her husband, Shane.   She married Shane without knowing him well, then after two months of marriage, he disappears, only to reappear in her new hometown, injured and with amnesia two years later.  As I wrote that, I could not help but notice how unrealistic it sounds. So, yes, much of it you have to suspend disbelief, but once you do that, the writing style is well done and the characters very likable.  Josie was raised in the foster system, which is a frequently used storyline in romance novels, but Shane's story is a new twist on this, in that he was raised as basically a military medical experiment, without parents.  He craves the love of a good woman, having never had that in his youth.  He finds that in Josie.  I also liked the relationship with his brothers and the family loyalty they show despite their troubles.   This is the first book of a series, which I assume will be about his brothers. All of the brothers are very much Alpha males and Shane is very possessive/protective of Josie, in an endearing way.  Some of the plot was rather predictable, but there were plenty of twists and turns to keep this book exciting.  If you like suspense/romance, you will like this novel.
 
Forgotten Sins can be found on Amazon and other booksellers.  I bought it for $2.99 and it is rather lengthy for this sort of book at 384 pages.  (One of my pet peeves are the very short, yet priced the same as full length books being published now.  Like many of you, I am a very quick reader and some of the books only take me a few hours to read. This was NOT one of those!)
