Unforgiven by Rebecca Zanetti

4.0

Unforgiven by Rebecca Zanetti is a romantic suspense novel & book 5 in the Deep Ops series. I have to admit this is the first book I’ve read by this author but I was so intrigued by the blurb. There’s a man Jethro with dangerously secret past that meets a woman Gemma & her 3 year old daughter, Trudy on the run. What happens when two dangerous worlds collide & they have to rely on each other & their loyal friends to survive? Check out this Unforgiven to find out!
This book is a wonderful combination of sweet & spicy romance, thrilling suspense, humor & the heart melting factor with the adorableness of a 3 year old & a mischievous & protective dog.
At the beginning, Jethro passed some misogynistic judgement & was quite intrusive, but he eventually realizes the error of his ways & apologizes for said behavior which I appreciated. There were a few other little moments where Jethro was a little much for me, but overall, I think he had good intentions & acted protectively in a very dangerous situation.
“Never undwrsomate the power of an animal” (At 47% of bookI.) I love this quote so much & completely agree. The dog in this book Roscoe is a star & made my heart warm whenever he was mentioned. Although I’ve never heard of a dog liking alcohol before.
I loved Gemma’s 3 year old daughter, Trudy & all of her interactions with the team members. I especially loved the Trudy-Roscoe bond. It was just adorable & heart-warming.
I also loved the dynamics of the team & how loyal they were to each other & their loved ones. My love of sports translates to my love for rooting for a team & this is a good one. I also discovered Book 1 of the Deep Op series is on Kindle Unlimited just in case anyone wanted to read it too!
Unforgiven comes out June 7, 2022!
