BLURB:
Revenge is sweet...
Self-made billionaire Alex Damon wants his pound of flesh from
the people who ripped his family apart. When he discovers his enemies' daughter
is working at his company -- and most likely spying for them -- he decides to
start his revenge by seducing her.
Natalie Hall is stunned at the personal interest from the CEO of
her company. Vulnerable, with an already bruised heart, she wants to avoid any
involvement -- but she can't deny the desire he arouses in her.
...but love is sweeter...
What should've been a straightforward eye-for-an-eye starts to
unravel as Natalie's unflinching loyalty and kindness begin to thaw Alex's cold
intent. But caring for her is unthinkable...since he plans to use everything in
his power to ruin her family and everyone else she holds dear.
Vengeful in Love is one
of the best fast-paced books I’ve ever read! It’s highly entertaining and does
not have a single dull moment in it!
The plot is vaguely
familiar, but it is so well written that anything even remotely similar to it
simply pales in comparison. It’s a book that you don’t want to finish, simply
because you cannot stand the idea of the ending. You just want it to go on and
on…It’s incredible! Its pace is fast, but the characters are finely developed
and described in such detail that it rivals full-length novels. It’s also smart
and funny, playful and sexy in a romantic sort of way.
There’s not a thing I
didn’t love in this book. In fact, when I finished it, I may have screamed out
of frustration. Yes it was that good!
What impressed me the
most is the incredible writing Nadia Lee showed in this book. The reader
usually falls in love with full-length novels, with more drama and romance. But
this book just captivates you and the characters are really mesmerizing!
To be honest, I’m a huge
fan of this book and I cannot stop praising it!
I loved every single
thing about this book!! It serves no purpose to delve into the characters, because
they are worth reading without ANY spoilers!!!! Plus, there are only so many
ways for me to tell you how much I loved the characters and the book, don’t you
thing?!
RECOMMENDATION: You
should buy it immediately!!

BLURB:
A temporary reunion...
Newly jobless and adrift,
former investment banker Kerri Wilson travels to Virginia to see her best
friend and regroup, only to run into billionaire playboy Ethan Lloyd. It's been
years since she's snuck out of his bed after the most amazing sex of her life,
and he's so not her type -- she likes them tall, dark and manageable.
But he's too hot to resist, and she succumbs to another sizzling,
no-strings-attached (or so she thinks) night.
Unwilling to let her go
this time, Ethan makes a simple proposition: a job, a place to stay, and an
exclusive affair that will end when either of them finds someone else. But with
her dark, painful past catching up to her, Kerri may have to bolt again -- even
though her heart is telling her to stay.
And Ethan's not giving her up without
fighting to make their "temporary" arrangement something far more
permanent...

Long Excerpt:
“You’re not really
interested in talking about work, are you?”
“No.”
“So why did you
pretend otherwise?”
A hint of humor
tugged at the corners of his mouth. “Would you be here if I’d told you the
truth?”
“No.”
“There you go.” He
gave her an unrepentant grin.
“Devious,” she
said, her voice deliberately cool.
He spread his
hands. “But hardly criminal. What is
criminal is ignoring a smart, sexy woman.”
If he’d shown any
sign of mockery or insincerity—even outright flattery—she’d have walked out on
him, CEO or not. But somehow the simple way he spoke made her believe he truly
found her desirable. His gaze roamed over her as if he could impart the
carnality of his presence onto her.
Sudden images of
their bodies, naked and panting, raced through her mind, leaving her
breathless. Every feminine intuition in her said that if she showed even a
tinge of interest, he’d make love to her until she drowned in sensation. A man
like him wouldn’t want anything messy like emotional entanglement.
Earth-shattering ecstasy was all he promised, all she could ever expect from
him.
Well, too bad.
Marcus O’Dell had been good in bed, and it just wasn’t enough. She wanted a man
who could love her unconditionally and for the long term.
“I don’t do the
interoffice dating thing,” she said. “It’s kind of a rule with me. So, although
this is really flattering, it’s not going to work out. Maybe you should find
another woman who’ll be happy with what you’re offering.”
He regarded her
calmly. “I don’t want another woman. And I
think it is going
to work out.”
“You do?”
“Come on, you feel
it. There’s a lot of chemistry going on here.”
True…but still.
She gave him her best oh-come-now
laugh. “I’m not a teenager anymore. I don’t let my hormones make my decisions
for me.”
“Wanna bet?”
Natalie raised an
eyebrow. “Do I want to bet?”
“I’ll bet you that
you’ll have dinner with me again before the week’s over.”
“And if I do? Then
what?”
“Then you lose the
bet and owe me a full weekend to change your mind about this ‘no interoffice
dating’ rule of yours.”
“What do I get if
you lose?”
“Oh, I won’t lose.
But if I do, I’ll give you a million dollars.”
Her jaw dropped so
fast she was surprised it didn’t hit the table. He couldn’t be serious. A million dollars?
Their food
arrived. Although it smelled absolutely tantalizing, her stomach was knotted
too tightly to even think about eating. She could already feel the champagne
churning dangerously.
The waiter left,
and Natalie leaned forward. “You’re joking, right?” she said in a strained whisper.
“About what?” He
popped a chunk of steak into his mouth. The chef had taken his instructions
seriously. The meat looked like it had barely touched the grill.
“About the bet.”
“Not at all. One
with six zeros behind it. Cash or wire, your choice.”
She stared at him.
There wasn’t even a trace of humor on his face. Her heartbeat accelerated a
little, and she shook her head. “You’re going to lose.”
Sighing, he put a
hand over his heart. “You wound me. Would you truly condemn me to eating alone
for the next four days?”
“Oh at least that,
if not forever.”
A boyishly
charming smile lit his face. “Is that so? Then it’s a bet?”
As they gazed
across the table, Natalie felt something stirring inside. It was more than just
sexual attraction. Her feminine core was flattered that he found her desirable
enough to risk a million dollars. And amused by and envious of his unshakable
confidence that he could win her over in four days and a weekend.
Marcus’s abrupt
ending of their relationship had made her feel undesirable. She hadn’t been
able to muster much interest in men since. Not until now.
Would it be so
terrible for her to indulge in a flirtation with Alex for a little while?
Her eyes holding
his, she picked up her silverware, pushing the fork into her steak and then
drawing the knife through it slowly and deliberately. “You’re on.”
