The Secret Life of Amy Benson, Book 3

Blurb

***3rd in a series but you do not have to read books 1-2 to read book 3****

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

God. This woman could make me forget why alone is better.

There are few people who write romantic suspense as well as Lisa Renee Jones. She has made it an art form. Even if you haven’t read the first two books in this series (you should, of course), you don’t necessarily need to read them to understand what is going on in Forsaken.

The first two books are about a woman named Amy, whereas Forsaken is about her brother, Chad. This is Chad’s story and how he meets Gia. We find out what happened in the past and watch as he navigates this dangerous situation.

Lots of secrets, sexy men, and brooding as Chad goes from angry to something else. Is Gia lying to Chad? What is she keeping from him? We know from the get-go that Chad is keeping secrets because there just isn’t anyone to trust. I loved the push and pull of the story line and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Lisa gives us real characters who have great chemistry and passion.

If you like a good mystery/suspense with your romance, then you should definitely check out Forsaken by Lisa Renee Jones. It’s an absolute winner.
