I don’t usually read or review short stories, but I saw the covers of the books, read the synopsis and wanted to know more. The synopsis described this book like the hit series Revenge, and I love that show. So I went on and started reading the short stories in which each part really read like a TV episode. There about 150 pages in the first book and 105 in the second book. The third, I am not sure of, but the total is around or between that of the other two stories.

The story explains why Bellona (not her real name) is on this quest for revenge. Her mother was set up to take the fall in a murder and Bellona has a fool proof plan that’s been in the works for years to destroy the family (the Gables) who set her mother up.

“My beautiful warrior.” He gently lifts my chin. “You’re mesmerizing.”

You understand what Bell went through with her mom in the first chapter of the book, but I got really frustrated with Bell at her losing focus on getting revenge at times. She has this fool proof plan that gets kinda complicated once she meets and works on destroying Lander. When she starts working through her plan, she gets sidetracked and second-guessed by her feelings for Lander.

You get to meet the key players in the first book and their backgrounds; there is Lander, Lander’s brother Travis, and his abused and addict wife Jessica, and they all have these fascinating backgrounds and lives. The brothers are rich, powerful, and are beautiful looking men who happen to be big manipulators. I was on the edge of my seat page by page, wanting to know what will happen in the next story. Just when you think you understand what is going to happen, there’s a juicy plot twist and has you guessing if they figured out who Bell was and her intentions. Then there are the steamy scenes, and yes they are steamy ;-).

“You’re a work of art. You’re everything that’s beautiful about eroticism.”

I don’t know about you, but I like a book with some suspense that has you wanting more, but what I don’t like is a huge cliff hanger. Well this one has a HUGE cliff hanger in every book. I was surprised that even the third book was a cliff hanger and I’m not sure if there are any more books in the series to even know what is going to happen. With that said, if you don’t like cliff hangers but you like a killer suspense romance story, this book is for you. I gave it 4 stars only because of the cliff hangers.
