Title: Vengeful in Love (Hearts on the Line, #1)




Oh god! So many names! There were like thirty different names in the first ten pages. And so many relationships and connections between those names! Ugh. But I finally started to orient hundred pages later. Yup, my memory is that good.

Alex Damos wants revenge. And he'd do anything to achieve it. All he needs to do now is to take over the company lead by a son of the woman who destroyed his father. But there's problem. Someone from his own company is leaking critical information.

Natalie Hall is an asian who was adopted by a senator Brian Hall. That's the official story. He found her abandoned as a baby in a trash. Her step-mother and step-sister are hostile towards her if Nat is having a lucky day and mean when she's not. But her godmother is good to her and supports her no matter what. Her godmother is also the woman Alex wants to destroy.

Although Alex only wants to use Natalie at first, their chemistry is off the charts and he starts to find out that she's nothing like he expected. In reality she's smart, beautiful, kind and lonely. And he starts to wish that she wasn't the one leaking the information. He doesn't only wish he believes it. But then proves that she did it are discovered and chases her away.

Natalie doesn't know what happened. Man she thought she was in love with doesn't trust her, her grandmother tried to blackmail her, her father lied to her. She's got nothing left and is ready to move somewhere else and start over new.

These "I-want-revenge-no-matter-what" themed books are getting kind of annoying. They are all the same. You could wake me up in the middle of the night and ask me how exactly some random book with this theme will go and I'd tell you. And 99% of what I'd say would be spot-on.

I'm not saying it was bad (because it wasn't) but if you expect something you've never read before, this isn't it.
