Here's Riley Hart's "Bittersweet Revenge." It's the first novel in the new Sins of the Father series.
["Dean
I’ve been stalking Tiernan O’Shea online for years.
After Sloan O’Shea killed my dad, my mom and I spent years in hiding, moving from state to state, changing our names, never drawing attention to ourselves, hoping to never be found.
I’ve fed off nothing but vengeance ever since.
Tiernan O’Shea is exactly like his father—arrogant, rich, ruthless.
The plan is Get accepted to Ashford U. Get close to Tiernan. Get him to trust me. And then, when he brings me home to his father, I’ll take my revenge on Sloan O’Shea.
What I don’t expect is discovering the secret side of Tiernan, the parts he doesn’t show the rest of the world. He’s as beautiful as he is brutal—deadly, yes, but he’s also the kind of man who would do anything for those he loves. We’re alike in ways I never imagined. And when he touches me, kisses me…it makes me feel like I matter.
I’ve spent my whole life hoping to even the score, but now my revenge will be bittersweet because it’ll make me lose the only man I’ve ever loved."]
The enemies to lovers in this one was utterly perfect! The angst, the mutual pull, the I-hate-him-but-there's-something-about-him, the why-him, the sexual tension, the everyone-sees-it-but-me. It was intoxicating. It was addicting. Dean and Tiernan would agree.
The hurt/comfort was just as intriguing, as well as cruel. They made my chest ache. The trust between them and the lack of trust, the secrets. It was so much. It was everything. But it was also me sobbing. Knowing destruction was emanate, knowing heartbreak and death were inevitable? It's a beautiful pull of yes-give-me-more and not-don't-let-that-happen-to-these-broken-boys.
Trigger Warnings: limited physical child abuse, physical abuse, attempt by a side character to roofie another character, discussion of this side character having assaulted someone in the past, and more.
