Heath the protector and Anya the Brave

Rebecca Zanetti is a master of weaving thrilling stories full of suspense, romance and mystery. When you begin her books, be prepared to get caught up in a sexy romantic suspense with an incredibly developed storyline. She is an auto-buy for me because her books have everything I love, family, romance, suspense, mystery, and most importantly, a happy ending. My favorite thing in her stories is the unshakable bond of family loyalty. It is really the glue that makes the characters lovable. They have this all for one, one for all attitude that is so endearing. My only complaint was the narrator often made Anya sound whiny whereas I didn't feel that when I read the paperback.

Book 2 in the explosive Blood Brother series, was no exception. Remember, this series is the spin-off from the Sin Brother series and contrary to what some say, this series SHOULD be read in order to truly appreciate the character’s journey as well as the underlying plot because the same villains have been plaguing the various main characters.

The prior book, Deadly Silence, introduced a serial killer dubbed the Copper Killer because he hunted red heads and the Lost Bastards Detective Agency (Ryker, Heath and Denver) were on his tail. Also, investigating the case was a profiler, Anya Best, a professor in criminal psychology. The serial killer has been sending her letters showing that he was fixated on her but Anya has no clue who he could be.

Heath Jones was working with FBI agent Loretta Best, Anya’s older sister, who became the killer’s latest victim. So, Heath decided he would protect Anya and avenge Loretta. It was clear the author was setting the stage for this book’s main couple.
I really enjoyed Anya because she was strong, smart and capable. She didn’t let her fear stop her from trying to figure out the killer. It also amused me that she was trying to shrink the Heath because those brothers have so many issues and secrets. Heath is an alpha male with a tender heart. He saves animals for crying out loud. How can you not love a strong, capable man who is so conscious of the pain and suffering of those who are wounded? Heath and Anya worked as a couple because they had this simmering chemistry. Their relationship was an insta-attraction, not necessarily insta-love because Heath fought himself because of the past monsters (Dr. Madison and Sheriff Cobb). The danger, intrigue, suspense and being on the run certainly created an atmosphere that would be sexually charged.

Rebecca Zanetti delivered an intense romance with lots of moving parts. If you enjoy series like Christine Feehan’s Ghostwalkers series, you will love this one as well.

Another fun read!

Same narrator as the first book. Narrator continues to do a great job! Quality performance! Entertaining listening!

Like the first book, this read has good passion and some fun action. Liked that the serial killer storyline is in the forefront of this book, and I like the overarching storyline with the brothers being created to be super soldier types. Absolutely can’t stand the villains in this story; less of their POV would be awesome. Anya’s sister was murdered by the serial killer, so she has the bright idea to make herself bait for the killer. Her plan involves dragging Heath into it, so she tells the news that he is her fiancé, which isn’t great because he and his brothers have an evil psycho after them; well a few evil psychos after them, so they need to keep out of the public eye. The story moves a bit too slowly and I still don’t really connect with the characters, but the writing is still good and the story is an entertaining one. Looking forward to the final book!

Cheesy but entertaining

I was unaware when purchasing that this is basically cheesy soft core porn with some sci-fi spy action twists. Not bad but not great.

Narrator detracts from the story

I enjoy Rebecca Zanetti's series, but this particular Narrator makes me want to pull my hair out - Karen White is too breathy, too dramatic, portrays the females as whiny. She has the capacity to sound relatively normal, so it makes no sense to me why she continues this pattern of inflection and tone with the dialogue between the characters. For me, this narrator detracts from the story. I now actively avoid audiobooks with her which is a darn shame.

The story is a good one, I like the Blood Brothers and Sin brothers series and agree with other reviewers that its best to read the series in order. Just no more audiobooks by Karen White for me.

Another great suspense romance

Love the suspense Zanetti creates. The only negative was the tendency of the female lead to sound whiny. Not sure if it was just the way the voice actor portrayed her. Overall, another great book but the audio got annoying when she had a lot of dialogue with the female lead. Can’t wait to keep up with the series.

Fantastic Series

This series gets better and better. Each one is more exciting than the last

Good story

I liked the overall story. However the narrator wasn't very good. She made the heroine's voice sound very whiny and annoying. I've listened to the other book in this series and thought the same thing.

This Series and The Sin Brothers are the Bomb

I love this series. I totally agree with other reviewers, you will only enjoy this series, to the fullest, if you read/listen to The Sin Brothers' series first.

Both of these groups of men come from a secret lab in which they were genically enhanced embryos designed to grow up to be the ultimate soldiers. The two groups did not grow up together or in the same way but, together, they form their own family. They are all being chased by the evil people who bred them. Their ultimate goal is to free themselves from the ghosts of their pasts so they all can live their own, "happily ever after, " with the women they love.

These books are full of action, suspense and romance all wrapped up by a group of alpha males and the women that are strong enough to tame them. Worth every dang credit!
