Published: July 31st 2014
Companion to the first two the books in the Tattoo Thief series (Tattoo Thief and Tyler & Stella) which can be read as a standalone.
On the Internet, secrets never die…
Violet can’t imagine anything worse than having her very private, very naked photos strewn across the Internet.
Until they multiply like a virus.
With her name, address, and phone number attached.
And her boss finds out. And a stalker finds her.
Violet’s refuge is a rock star known for going through groupies faster than guitar picks. Letting Jayce get close enough to protect her exposes her secrets—and her heart—to a man whose celebrity could ruin her.
That’s because being a nobody is the one thing that keeps Violet’s photos from making headlines. And it’s the reason she can never fall for a rock star.
Secrets spread like wildfire when a celebrity fans the flames.
REVENGE BOUND is a full-length, standalone novel, and a companion to the Tattoo Thief books. It contains steamy scenes and strong language intended for mature readers.
I am a huge fan of this series after reading the first two books and I have been eager to read Jayce’s book. I tell you, I wasn’t disappointed at all! This book went in a slightly different direction compared to the others and deals with ‘revenge porn,’ where people post naked pictures of their ex’s and their details online to get revenge. It is shocking and often had my jaw hitting the floor as to the devastation it can cause, not only to the victim but their family as well.
Violet is the victim in this case, and I met her in Tyler and Stella’s book; she was the fiery red-headed photographer. You can see she is usually a confident girl, but a series of incidents has her withdrawing into herself, closing off from other people. It is sad to see her suppressing her personality like that. Jayce steps in and is like her knight in shining armour; he has an urge to protect her and to make things right.
I enjoyed watching their relationship develop and seeing the feelings they have for one another become stronger. The danger that Violet finds herself in keeps them together, and soon they want to explore kinky things in the bedroom. One situation I thought was amusing was the panty demand… dayum! I think the spice between this couple was well written and shows that the author likes to change things up when it comes to sex scenes.
I liked how both Revenge Bound and Tyler and Stella’s book overlapped and I saw some of the same moments from a whole new couple’s POV, like the photoshoot in Tyler’s loft. I enjoyed the suspense element woven into this story and it often had me looking over my shoulder! Violet and Jayce’s story was wrapped up nicely and I’m looking forward to see how they all deal with the situation revealed at the end. I think that this book is fine to read as a standalone, but there is no way I could stop at just one book!!
