The One Man She Can't Have

Matt Dean was born to fight . . . and kill. A member of a secret black-ops military unit, he and his brothers were genetically engineered by the government to be the perfect soldiers with an expiration date. Now, with time running out, he's gone rogue in a relentless quest for the one person who can save them. His mission leads him to Charmed, Idaho . . . and to a beautiful woman with eyes like emeralds and a body made for pleasure.

The One Woman He Can't Resist

Laney Jacobs knows the mysterious, handsome stranger is trouble from the moment he walks into her bar, looking for a job. She's spent years running from her own past-the last thing she needs is a romantic entanglement. But Matt's strong arms offer her protection and his gentle touch promises passion unlike anything she's ever known. As lethal forces surround them, revealing explosive secrets about Matt's past and putting everything-and everyone-he holds dear in danger, can he save them all before time runs out?

    NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4 1/2 REVIEW:  Matt Dean has always protected

    NUMBER OF HEARTS: 4 1/2
    REVIEW: 
    Matt Dean has always protected those he love. He stood up for his brothers when he was little. He fight to keep them safe from everything and everyone. But failing his youngest brother has been the hardest then he has ever had to go through. But he still has two brothers left that need him. The need him to complete his latest mission in order to save them all. But oh the wicked twists of fate are about to bring dear old Mattie to his knees. 

    Laney is a woman who knows that it is just a matter of time before he past catches up with her. A past that she doesn’t ever want to relive. But when a tall, dark and very dangerous man finds his way into her life, for just one moment she let’s her guard down. In that moment everything changes, and not all of the changes are for the better. 

    Loved this books. Loved Mattie & Laney. Loved that Emery.... well you will just have to read and find that out. This was a great second book in Rebecca’s Sins Brothers series. I am so looking forward to Nate’s book and uncovering all the dark secrets that this brother holds. 
    If you have not read book 1 Forgotten Sins, I would highly suggest that you do. While I think you could read Sweet Revenge and be okay. I really think that you need to know the Gray Brother’s history and to do that you need to read Forgotten Sins.

    I like the premise of this series. There are 4 brothers who have been enhanced by "The Commander". All their senses are multiplied and they are the elite soldiers. They are looking for their freedom. Rebecca must have done lots of research for all her military tactics in her books. This is the first time I have read one of Rebecca's books. I will be looking for from her. As I got farther into the book I found that as much as I liked the book I had to walk away to regather myself. That's how I know it's a good story. I hope you try this series. You won't regret it. I didn't!

    I loved Matt and Laney and their somewhat bumpy road down romanc

    I loved Matt and Laney and their somewhat bumpy road down romance lane. I definitely enjoyed their story more than Shane and Josie's. Even though Laney knew that her mysterious and handsome employee and temporary tenant could wreck havoc on her life and heart, she couldn't resist him. Not that she really tried which made their interaction very sexy and endearing. I sympathized with her and her desire to be wanted and loved. To connect with someone who liked her and wanted to protect her. Aside from being sweet and compassionate, she was also independent and (hallelujah!) not a drama queen. I thoroughly enjoyed the absence of self pity or a low self esteem. She accepted the consequences of getting involved with Matt without feelings of inadequacy or fearing rejection, and she didn't run from her evolving feelings. I do like when characters are mature enough to lay the cards on the table and see where the chips fall.

    Matt was so sexy, with his slightly dominant nature, his devotion to his brothers and sister-in-law, but also caring about people in general. In case you haven't read the first book, Matt and his brothers were genetically engineered and raised by the whack jobs who created them. Trained in all forms of combat since childhood, these (now) men have gone through hell until their escape a few years prior. They're not emotionally stunted or incapable of love. In fact they have an abundance of it, for each other. When they fall, they fall hard and fast. The women who manage to capture their hearts make them whole and give them even more of a reason to fight and to live. I kind of love the thread that runs through this story of finding love and committing to another person even though they may not have much longer to live. It's just one of those things, like, “Better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.” (From Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem In Memoriam:27, 1850).

    The story had a great pacing and a nice balance of romance versus action. And there is no shortage of action. The love scenes were all sizzling hot (fans self). I also like the few flashbacks to the times the boys were in (captivity) training. If you're new to the series, I think the flashbacks will help you understand the heroes without having read the first book. The writing is really good and all the characters are fleshed out, even down to the villains. They were so depraved, I wanted to rip them out of the pages and stuff them in the garbage disposal. I'm not sure why Laney bothered to learn a little self defense from Matt since the three times she was attacked, she ended up not being able to defend herself. But that's just a very minor complaint or observation. This series continues to grow on me, and the teaser for Nate's story at the end already has me salivating for more.

    The bottom line: Pick up this action-packed book and fall in love with the heroes as they wage war with a ruthless enemy in an attempt to save their lives, find their presumably dead baby brother and keep their promises of a HEA with the women they love.

    O. M. G. I loved this book. I loved Forgotten Sin so much I didn't think this book could beat it but I was so wrong. I want Matt he was so hot and so alpha. I need more. *sigh*. Matt and Laney have great chemistry and are a perfect match. Rebecca Zanetti out did herself. If you have not read her yet you are truly missing out on some great books. I've read all of them and she is a must buy for me.

    Great book

    I love this series of books. It is the second book in the series and you need to read the first one to understand this book. There is a lot of action in this book. Great love story that is tied into another sub plot. I can not wait for the next book to come out!

    I was an avid fan of this series after reading book 1, and that has firmly been cemented after reading Sweet Revenge. This author really knows how to write an action-packed romance with plenty of suspense and plenty of action, in and out of the bedroom. I just love these brothers and as their story keeps unfolding, I am becoming more and more invested in their survival and, hopefully their happy endings.

    Matt is the eldest brother, the 'protector' of the family, the one who always stood up for his brothers and took the brunt of the punishment dished out by the Commander, all to keep them alive and together. His loyalty to his family is unquestioned, only too willing to sacrifice himself so that those he loves can live. He is supremely alpha, the ultimate soldier, demanding and able to take charge and keep everyone focused, always upholding their family oath of 'never alone'. He also has a vulnerable, gentler side and this only confirmed my belief that an alpha man who shows his vulnerability and says what is in his heart, makes him one of the most attractive males in existence. But this man carries his own fair share of guilt about his younger brother Jory, and the quest for answers and ultimately revenge is what drives him day and night. If you can't tell already, I loved Matt for all of the above and then some. These brothers have captured a piece of my heart with their history and the way they love so hard and so completely.

    Now, as for Laney. She is living a seemingly quiet life in a little town called Charmed, hoping with each day that she is moving further and further away from her history and the secrets she is keeping. She is feisty, sassy, independent and strong. Her gentle and caring nature has endeared her to the other inhabitants of the town, and she feels she finally has some semblance of the family she missed out on as a child. Laney is a character that you can easily relate to, and when her back story comes out, she is only made more endearing to the reader. I loved her strength of character, the way she fought for those she loved, her willingness to show her own vulnerability when she connects with Matt, and her total bad-ass actions in the last part of the book. She really won me over.

    As eluded to in the synopsis, Laney is hiding from her own demons, ones that are connected to Matt in the most deadly of ways, but the attraction between them is too hard to ignore. Their sexual chemistry heated up my reader, their steamy love scenes amongst some of my favourites and I loved the way they communicated and connected with each other. They were flirty and playful, hot and sexy, sweet and funny, intense and passionate.

    Once again this author has delivered and ticked all the boxes that I look for in a romantic suspense book. The action scenes had me on the edge of my seat, with heart pounding twists and turns, full of mystery and intrigue. This book flowed effortlessly from Forgotten Sins and there was no need to go back and refresh my memory. The continuation of the overall story gave us more of the brothers past and more of what is to come. Shane, Nate and Josie made their appearances again which I loved and I cannot wait to read more about this family.

    I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

    I love all of Rebecca’s books and Sweet Revenge is no different.  I loved both Matt and Laney.  I love that even though Matt is on a mission, he’s still willing to follow his heart.  I also admired Laney and that she’s willing to put herself on the line to help others.  The horrors these two were put through in the past just broke my heart.  I loved that this book kept me guessing till the very end about who exactly Matt was after.  I knew he was looking for a specific doctor, but just who that doctor is was kept a mystery throughout.  I also love that the Sin brothers are willing to give up everything for their women.  That just makes me want to swoon.  I’m so looking forward to Nate’s book.  I can’t wait to read his story.  Overall this is a very fast-paced, well-written story.  It has suspense, action, adventure, and romance.

    Very Enjoyable

    This series is the first I've read by Rebecca Zanetti. I have really enjoyed them. I am normally a Regency Romance reader and not too into contemporary romance - I want to escape when I read..... I have already Pre-Ordered Nate's story and hope that she continues with the story line with other "brothers"
    Other similar series : Christine Feehan's Shadow Walkers - paranormal special ops and
    Maya Banks KGI series - special ops with just a touch of paranormal in a couple of the books
