Twisted Truths (Blood Brothers #3)
by Rebecca Zanetti
Blurb:
You
can't escape the past . . .
Noni
is desperate. Her infant niece has been kidnapped, and the only person who can
save her is a private detective with too many secrets to count--and more
enemies than he can name. A man who walked away from Noni without any warning a
year ago, a man who broke her heart. But with Talia's life on the line, Noni
needs his help now more than ever--and this time, she won't take no for an
answer . . .
The
moment Denver Jones sees Noni, the memories come rushing back. The fire in her
eyes. The determination in her voice. The danger of having her in his life.
Denver had to push her away once, but now with vicious criminals threatening
Noni and her niece, he'll do whatever it takes to protect them. But enemies
from his past are circling, and they'll use anything--and anyone--to get to
Denver.

Review:
This series by one of my favorite authors has
finally come to an end, one that has been a long time coming in my opinion
because the bad guys were beyond the typical villains and went well into the
world of sadistic sociopaths that just needed to be put down. There have been some serious twists and turns
along the way between this series and its preceding series (Sin Brothers), and
while there are a few little hints of the paranormal it remains largely a
contemporary paramilitary story revolving around the bonds of brotherhood that
are formed in blood and death from a early age.
I enjoyed Denver and Noni’s story immensely even as there were moments when I wanted to slap the shit out of Denver for being a bonehead. It’s obvious to anyone that has ever seen an
alpha operator like Denver that his feelings for Noni run deep and true and
leave him terrified for her safety and unwilling to risk her by attempting to build a life with her
while he is still hunted. Noni on the
other hand was one of my favorite heroines in this series, willing to risk
everything including her own life in order to rescue the child that was taken
from her and put into a dangerous situation.
When they began working together it became a no-contest situation and I
had no doubt that they would defeat their enemies, even if Denver had his
doubts and fears. Noni was a fascinating
mix of strength and vulnerability, but I knew right away that she was the
perfect match for Denver and would give him the balance he needed in his
life. Denver was the kind of guy that
would sometimes make me wonder if all men are as stupid as the things that come
out of their mouths make them sound idiotic, but I knew all his posturing and worrying
came from a place of love for Noni and his brothers so I tried to give him a
bit of slack. The passion between Noni
and Denver was just as intense as all the brothers in the past novels, but even
more quickly taken to the level of deep emotions since they’d already had a
relationship and were more than halfway in love with one another, which made
the heat off-the-charts hot. There were some terrifying moments and some
revelations in this series that left me wondering how I could have missed that
twist barreling down on me all this time, but that just made it that much more
fun. I was sad to see the series end,
but maybe in the future some of the younger brothers might get their own series,
regardless I know I will enjoy anything that Ms. Zanetti sends my way. Thanks for the fun ride Rebecca!
