In this third book in the sexy,
suspenseful “The Secret Life of Amy Bensen” series from New York Times
bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones, we meet Amy’s brother Chad—and the woman
who either loves him or wants him dead.
Six years ago, Chad’s hunt for a
dangerous treasure turned deadly when his family home was set on fire, his
parents killed. Faking his and his sister Amy’s death to protect her from
further retaliation, he set her up in a new life with a friend’s help, letting
her believe he’d died.
But now the men who hired Chad to find
the treasure have found him, imprisoning and torturing him to learn where it’s
hidden. A dark-haired beauty named Gia helps him escape, promising him access
to his worst enemy. And as he tries to unravel the deep secrets of the past, he
starts falling for her…only to discover she’s not what she seems.
Unable to trust anyone, Chad focuses on
only two things: protecting his sister Amy and getting revenge. Is love even
possible in the midst of heartache?
My Review: (ARC provided)
4-4.5stars!
I am hooked on this series. Forsaken is completely written from Chad's POV (Amy's brother). He is bitter, broody, hot, and out for revenge. When Gia enters his life he doesn't trust her but he can't stay away. Everything would be easier without her but he keeps her around, wants her around but won't admit it. They both have secrets and both have been hurt by the same people. Will they be able to take these people down and finally live freely instead of sleeping with one eye open? And will Chad finally be able to reunite with his sister?
I really like how how this book was told just from Chad's view point, I liked not knowing what was going on in Gia's head. I think it made the book more suspenseful and it was like I wanted a peak into Gia's mind but then I'm glad I didn't get one because you weren't sure what to think about her or what her secrets were. Chad and Gia had this great banter, sexual tension and chemistry, they had that tug or war thing going on between the two of them which made their story so interesting.
Lisa Renee Jones has a way of grabbing me from the start and keeping me on the edge. I really enjoyed Chad and Gia's story but I loved Amy and Liam's and I wanted more of them in this. We don't have to wait long for Unbroken to finally get the conclusion!
I recommend this series.

Excerpt:
I join
her at the sink, where she’s struggling to get the bandage wrapped around her
palm. I grab her hand and take over and our eyes lock and collide, the air
instantly thick with a huge dose of lust-filled distrust.
“You’re
going to get caught in here,” she warns softly, as if she can’t quite find her
voice.
“It’s a
Walmart in Texas,” I tell her. “They’re happy if you manage to show up with
pants on.”
She
laughs despite an effort to stop herself. “I suppose so. I’m just nervous about
getting attention we don’t need.”
“We’re
fine.” I fit some tape over the bandage on her hand and dump the supplies back
inside the basket sitting on the counter.
“Right,”
she agrees. “I know we are.”
She
doesn’t sound convinced, and I can’t seem to quell my need to convince her
otherwise. “Don’t let my getting captured fool you. It took him years to find
me. I’m good at what I do. He won’t find me again. That means he won’t find
you.”
“Until
you’re done with me,” she murmurs, cutting her gaze away from me, and for the
first time since that bedroom in East Austin, fear radiates off her. I tell
myself to let it go, that she could be working me over, but I can’t seem to
care.
I slip a
finger under her chin and force her gaze to mine. “No matter what your
intentions were when this started tonight, if you help me, really help me, I’ll make sure you stay protected.”
“I don’t
work for him, and I don’t know why I’m even saying that again. I know I can’t
convince you.”
“I told
you. Help me. I’ll help you. Okay?”
“Yes.
Okay.” She’s not convinced, and the truth is, neither am I. I stayed away from
people until Meg, Amy included, for a reason. People die when they’re near me,
but I’m not telling Gia that, and I let my hand fall away, settling both on my
hips.
She hugs
herself and for several beats we simply stare at each other, until she wets her
lips, and I try not to look at her mouth, or think about kissing her, but I
fail. I think about it. In vivid, I-want-to-fuck-her detail.
“This is
what you do?” she asks. “How you live? Always looking over your shoulder? Is
that how I have to live?”
“I, like
others in the organization I work for, find what no one else can find.”
“For a
price.”
“Yes. For
a price.”
