Past Forgiven by Jesse Lorenzo is book 3 in the Marked Series. There's Behr and Ellora, Gavin and Adelle, Dominick and Susan. It's a beautiful story full of love, pain, healing, and laughter.

3.0 out of 5 stars A sweet, romance suspense!
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2017
I feel like I've been waiting for agggges to find out the conclusion to this series, and I am glad the waiting is over! Still packed with action and tension, giggles and so much romance you may even see love hearts shoot out of your kindle!!

The only downside to this series was that, I was wondering if there was going to be any sex at any point, but alas there was not. So definitely not raunchy enough for this saucy owl! But the story had me hooked anyway and I wanted to see it through regardless! If fade to black love scenes drive you crazy then just prepare yourself.

There are times when the dialogue felt quite eighteenth century, lots of over politeness and maybe one too many nae's. Also everywhere you look there appears to be a virgin! Girls just don't want to have sex in this series. But I still love my Behr. Would I have loved to hear him roar in the throes of passion with Ellora? Yes of course, but I'm a perv.

Dominick is the ever protective male that sweeps Susan off her feet and into his pants, I mean heart! Susan proves herself to be fearless and I love how she is a bit shy and a bit sassy, quite the unpredictable little minx!

The story is written in third person and switches about quite a lot so while it is kind of Dominick's and Susan's story, it's more all-inclusive and it can be hard to keep up with. 

But if you want a sweet, romance suspense that you can read in public, look no further! This series will satisfy and have you wanting to visit Scotland too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Past Forgiven
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2017
I will not start our marriage off on a bitter, resentful note. You are going to have to forgive the past before you even think about starting a future with me. You’re going to have to drop that crushing weight of anger you’ve been carrying around. Make peace with them, Behr. Start life with me on a clean slate. I still look over my shoulder every time I hear footsteps approaching, expecting to see my parents walk in like nothing’s happened. I wish every single day that I had just five more minutes with them. And here, you have both your parents begging you to forgive them, leading to be a part of your life, and you’re taking it for granted. You’re throwing away precious time with them…limited time.

To forgive and to forget have two separate meanings; however, they are often times used within the same sentence. If you forgive, that does not mean that you will ever forget. There are many cruel and intentional acts of violence that have plagued the lives of Lorenzo’s characters; but, these two words seem to make the story much more realistic and close to the heart. If a killer does what he has only even known, but is then shown a different way…can he be forgiven? If a man’s reputation has broken the hearts of many women, will his soulmate learn to trust his faithfulness? The heart can be pure. It can be the epitome of innocence. It can be deeply scarred. One thing is for certain, where the mind provides rational and logical responses…the heart provides instinct and genuine strength to endure anything that life throws your way.This third installment focuses on four main characters. These characters have all been mentioned in previous installments, but the reader was not really able to gain much of an emotional insight into their personality or their thoughts.

Susan, a former employee to Dalton, has escaped his grasp and is now in Witness Protection with her mother and brother. Her life has forever been altered, but the fight is not over. Dalton has cashed in his get out of jail free card and is now making it clear to Susan that he does not allow room for anyone to betray him. Desperate for protection, she makes the call to the only person who has ever been there for her…Dominic. While she knows that calling Dominic will push their professional relationship into something possibly more…fear has elicited every decision. Can he help her escape Dalton for good?

Adelle, the girl next door, has always been in love with Gavin…but, he never showed any reciprocation of her feelings until that one night before college where she had a complete makeover from head to toe. If looks meant everything, she was gold with Gavin. That isn’t all that she wants though—she is afraid of letting herself fall for him now that she is back in town. Does he still have a score to settle or is he genuinely interested in her as a person? If she gives her heart out to him and he breaks it, she may never recover.

Gideon, incarcerated for killing Ellora’s parents and many other targets, has come clean with everything. He turned on Dalton, giving him less of a sentence—but then he met Eva. This woman means everything to him and he is willing to wait for her…she made his heart beat again. Since he was a child, killing was all he had ever known. Dalton took him in and groomed him to be the man that everyone fears. No longer will he be that man…because of Eva. Knowing that he may never receive the forgiveness that he desires, he still makes it his mission to apologize to those who he has forever destroyed. This is the first step to being a different person, a compassionate person…and one that may possibly find himself outside of prison bars to begin a new life.

Behr, Ellora’s forever, has come face to face with the past. After his boat is blown to smithereens, he now needs to find a new one to purchase. With Gavin’s help, they find the perfect boat, in need of much repair—but perfect. The only downside is that the owner is Behr’s father…the same father who abandoned him when he was boy. Can he let the past go? Especially since his father is now pleading with him to forgive? Knowing very well what Ellora will say, he is hesitant to bring her on board…but she is pure and everything that is good in his life. He knows that she will guide him to what is right, but does he have enough strength to do it?

Lorenzo entertains the reader with a vast array of emotional situations. Each character is battling their own fight—struggling with their own inner demons. This story is emotionally charged, with superb character development, creativity, and originality. It is fast-paced and very well written, allowing the reader to zip right through. If you are a reader of romantic suspense, you may be interested in picking it up. It is highly recommended for the reader to begin with the first installment within the series, since these are direct continuations.

3.0 out of 5 stars although we want a happy ending for Detective Antonelli and Susan
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2017
This is when the story became a bit redundant. Dalton, when will his reign of terror end? Apparently, not soon enough. As hard as it is to admit, although we want a happy ending for Detective Antonelli and Susan, we want the story to end as soon as it starts. The author had many stories of all the different characters became to be too many pieces of a puzzle- I just didn't want to put together. Lorenzo has a knack for writing dark, suspense, but the suspense just keeps going and going, with no hope of stopping.
