***Five Stars ***When I first read the synopsis of BLIND FAITH, I wondered if I was really going to like this story line -- A secret black op military, soldiers that are genetically engineered, detonating chips? Really? Some of this seemed a little over the top, but I must say, I loved this story and fell in love with the characters!This is the third series in the Sin Series focusing on each of the Dean brothers. This story focuses on Nate Dean, one of four brothers created and raised in a secret military camp. Like his brothers, Nate was created from a test tube experiment and has superior strength and hearing. Throughout his life, he has had no nurturing. He has been intensely trained throughout his youth to become a cold-blooded killing machine.Audrey Madison was raised by a mother, Isobel, a brilliant scientist who is more interested in promoting her twisted experiments than she is her only daughter. Audrey has spent her life trying to win her mother's approval and love, but sadly always comes up lacking.Nate and his brothers managed to escape the terrible tyranny of the "Commander" five years ago.The threat: the brothers continue to be hunted by the commander and are in a race against time to locate the codes to deactivate the chips embedded in their spines. If they don't find the correct codes, they will die. The time element definitely adds a level of intensity to this story line.Nate has recently discovered that Audrey, the only woman he's ever loved, and also the woman that broke his heart and betrayed him, was pregnant with his child. As he locates Audrey, he wants to know what happened to his child, as well as demands information on finding the codes to help save him and his brothers.Even after all their time apart, Nate and Audrey are still insanely attracted to each other. Nate is still angry with Audrey for aligning herself with the evil commander and her manipulative mother. He can't understand her loyalty to a mother that has never shown her an ounce of love.Audrey has been working with her boss, Senator Nash, for the past few years, and they are secretly working to gather information to incriminate the Commander and his organization so they can send him to prison. Although Audrey wants to confide in Nate, she knows it's better to let him continue to think the worst of her.As you read this story, you discover two tough people with emotional scars beating the odds and finding love with one another once again. As a reader, you find yourself rooting for Audrey and Nate to find their happily ever after.Audrey is a great heroine. She has her share of misfortune throughout the book, but she proves she has a lot of tenacity, loyalty, and determination as she fights to protect what's important to her.Nate is a hardened, trained killer with an unwavering loyalty to his brothers. Even though Nate has a thirst for revenge against the Commander and Audrey's mother, it's great to see the decisions he makes as the story evolves.The suspenseful element in BLIND FAITH is fraught with car chases, kidnapping, bombs, betrayal, lies, and deceit.As Blind Faith concluded, I found myself intrigued and more than eager to read the final installment of this series. I was so captivated with this series, I immediately downloaded Forgotten Sins and Sweet Revenge so I can learn more about the other interesting Dean brothers.BLIND FAITH is full of sizzling romance, mystery, and suspense. I highly recommend this series!A copy of this book was provided via Net Galley for an honest review.
