Unforgiven is the last of the Deep Ops, I am not sure if the author is planning on any more books in the series. But I have a feeling this is the last of the series, but I could be wrong. But I have to say that I absolutely adored this book. It was so fun to see Jethro finally get his book. He has been a character that has intrigued me throughout the whole of the series so I honestly just couldn't get enough of seeing him get his story and how it was delivered by Rebecca Zanetti. This one will definitely keep you at the edge of your seat, and I really loved the heroine that he ends up with, who is on the run herself as she has an abusive ex and trying to protect their daughter from him.
We do get some flashbacks in this one, but honestly, they didn't bother me. Sometimes flashblacks can bother me, but Rebecca Zanetti really fleshed them out so well in this one that it felt so natural to the story itself and it didn't overwhelm the present plot so it worked for me. She is one of the few authors that can write these effectively. Unforgiven though is a story that digs deep into Jethro's past and some unresolved issues with his brother and his past as a MI-6 agent. So it kinda had a bit of a James Bond feel to the story especially as I did this in audiobook. I do think for these audiobooks, to not be distracted by other things. The narration is well done, but due to the plot building, you will miss things, if you are are doing things that distract you from the story. The romance itself was endearing. Jethro definitely makes sure to fight for his lady and doesn't let her run away from what they have, no matter who their enemy is. Really adored his commitment to her and her daughter. And the little girl, man she had my heart and she had ALL the men wrapped around her little finger.
Overall I found Unforgiven to be a super gem of a read that only Zanetti can deliver! If you are a fan of romantic suspense or Zanetti, then I highly recommend this book and this series.
