While on vacation in India, Trina Holmgard meets and marries Sam, a poor but charming man. She returns home to New York to arrange his entry into the US and leaves him with her heirloom locket as a pledge of her commitment.

But as time passes, she begins to question his motives. Does he really love her or is it life in America that he wants? Deciding she has been deceived, Trina cuts off all contact and marries another man.

Driven by rage when he realizes his dreams have been shattered, Sam dedicates his life to getting revenge. But, how far will he go?

One thing is for certain, the world will never be the same again...

The story was good until it became totally about 9/11– they should say that in the preview. Could be very triggering for some people! Did not like.

9/11 ??

I rarely write ✍️ reviews but this one I couldn’t pass by. I absolutely loved loved loved this novel. I finished it in 2 days. The narrator was phenomenal and the author.....oh wow!! I highly recommend downloading this incredible book!

Wow! I listen to a book or two a week and this one is amazing! Narrator is amazing as well! I have hundreds of books in my library and have only rated 2. It’s more than worth it!

Wow!

It makes you wonder and think back on your own past. Are they're people or persons that I have so greatly wronged that would seek revenge on me?

Very Interesting

This started out as an interesting story about a self centered and ambitious young woman, but took a shocking plot turn into a real event that was unnerving and painfully trivializing. I was horrified.

Story took a left turn

To be completely transparent, I initially attempted to return this title, as I found the pace to be too slow and the backstory to be somewhat dull. Fortunately, I was unable to return the title, and I am now extremely grateful for that circumstance. This book has proven to be one of the most engaging audiobooks I have listened to in a while, prompting me to write my first review on Audible. I assure you that if you persevere past the initial backstory, you will find it impossible to stop listening. When Sam presented his idea, I was taken aback and had to stop my mail truck to collect my thoughts. I wish I could award this title 10 stars, as it has provided me with a new perspective on the timeline and encouraged me to think twice about the domino effect that can occur when karma is involved.

Unexpected!

The performance was great but the story starts out slow. The main character was annoying and the story takes a left turn at the end. Considering the gravity of the event the author fictionalized in her story there should be mention of it in the description.

Trigger warning

Definitely not my favorite. First half is nothing but a romance book and the second half is a history lesson of 9/11. If you enjoy either of those then you will like this book. The writing was good and the character development was excellent. Maybe this would be more of a historical romance. Not my cup of tea.

not a fan

The storyline was OK, but the author used a very significant event in American history, and put a fictional spin on it which I found inappropriate and almost an insult to the victims of that day. That’s just my opinion, the rest of the story was OK.

Meh.....

Wow, I didn't see that coming! Incredible, and utterly shocking, developments, from the first page on. Great narration as well.

What a story!
