Vengeance.
Hiding deep within the shadows of human nature, it smolders…
Simmers…
Waits.
Only, for me, it was no longer a hibernating beast.
The day I discovered the wrongs committed against me, vengeance clawed its way right through me. The beast had emerged from its lair with a burning need to destroy the man who tore my marriage apart.
And now?
Now, it was my lifeline.
My dark lover.
My. Whole. Purpose.
Revenge.
They say it’s sweet in the end, and I believed them. I could almost taste that honey on my tongue, like a balm I needed to quell the bitterness.
But it was all a lie.
I was blindsided.
And not once did I think about who I might hurt along the way. I never considered the casualties that may fall across my path of destruction.
No…
Revenge is not sweet. Retaliation does not end in reward.
Vengeance is not justice.
The promises whispered by that beast within?
They’re all hollow.
All it ever wanted was to be set free.
In the end, I never expected things to be worse than when it all began.
I never expected the wreckage left in my wake.
I never expected her.

I’ve been meaning to read Evan’s book since I finished Lotus but life just got in the way and I’m so mad at myself for not making it a priority.
I loved this book so much! I felt so many emotions while reading it and even broke down crying at my kitchen table at one point. But it was all worth it in the end.
Evan was my kind of spiteful and petty. I loved him so much, even if his need for vengeance clouded his judgement so he didn’t see the full impact of his actions until it was too late.
Poor Josie just couldn’t seem to catch a break. I really admired her resilience.
Evan and Jodie’s story is not for the faint of heart but it was ultimately such a beautifully healing journey for both of them.
I really enjoyed the audiobook. Neille Thorne (lol I just noticed his last name) was wonderful as Evan and I enjoyed his Josie voice as well. Kelley Huston also did a wonderful job as Josie. The two of them really brought this book to life.
Beautifully tragic

Evan, our deeply emotional yet ruthless MC, is a man on a mission. He’s a man destroyed by another’s careless actions of betrayal and deceit—a betrayal so heart wrenching it takes this once lovable man and turns him almost into a super villain seeking vengeance against those that wronged him, without any care of the innocents in his path. An innocent such as Josie, the wife of the man that stole Evan’s own wife…
“Anger has became my fuel while my heart bleeds retribution.”
Josie on the other hand is clueless to the inner ramblings of Evan’s mind and his ulterior and falls perfectly into his trap. And really, she has such a beautiful peace and kind energy about her you can’t help but fall in love with her and feel for her as Evan starts down the dark path of revenge fueled by rage and vengeance. Yet, while his original intentions were to destroy the man he hates most by winning over his sweet wife, Evan’s plans soon go awry as he realizes Josie’s not at all what he thought she’d be…especially when she starts to make him feel again.
This isn’t a sweet beautiful unfolding of a romance by any means. No, it’s the awakenings of two souls connecting out of the ashes of betrayal and ruined relationships caused by the darkness of deceit and the slow beautiful growth of new connections. And while you’ll feel for both of these characters and hope for the best, you’ll also recognize the irony of their relationship and find yourself unable to look away from the inevitable train wreck that’s about to happen.
Overall this story was a brutal, messy, raw emotional and angst filled journey that will take you in an emotional roller coaster of a ride right alongside Evan and his broken heart as he find not only himself but also perhaps a new love and outlook on life. So if that’s your kind of thing, then buckle up my friend and prepare for an epic journey. And yes, while this book is definitely a slow burn, the emotional connections and angst (and the narrator!) makes it so enthralling you can’t stop listening so grab it today to see for yourself!
A captivating journey of a lost and broken soul finding redemption and a stunning must listen to performance!

This book was intense, from the first page to the last. It gripped my heart and didn't let go. I needed to do some deep breathing to lower my blood pressure with some of the more intense chapters. Plus a couple of those hot scenes were... phew, like I would've needed a cigarette after listening if I smoked!!
Ethan, oh Ethan! He had so much hatred and anger inside him yet his heart was so full of love for his daughter. This book chronicled the cycle of his love, loss, betrayal, hope, forgiveness.
This book was a gut wrenching, nail biting, want to throw my phone but also had to keep listening kind of book!
It's about love, revenge, redemption, second chances, forgiveness.
Neill Thorne is hands down one of the most talented and emotional narrators I've ever listened to. I don't think ANY other narrator could've brought these characters to life the way he did. I felt all his feelings and thanks to Neill's ability to convey those emotions I could tell when it all clicks and he let's go.
Jennifer and Chelley together wrote such an emotional journey for this character and even though there are many other vital characters in this story, it's told from Ethan's POV.
As a reader, I appreciated the emotional ups and downs of this book in order to fully grasp the feelings he felt.
powerful book, powerful performance
