Bailey’s on her knees. Deeply sad, she worried me since I’d seen her fighting spirit blossom in book two. Here, Kash showed me how insightful he was to her every need and at this point, his calming effect on the family couldn’t have been more appropriate. After awakening her inner strength, it felt like everyone, myself included, sighed with relief.
‘You know I would come back to me and I did. I’m here Me. And I’m ready for the next chapter.’
Delighted to see Bailey back in the groove, I wondered how she’d manage the stress. But let’s not forget that she has an extraordinary talent that might work for or unwillingly against Kash’s plans. I loved the more profound and self-analysing Bailey. And I had to smile when she’d made her mind up to do something. This young woman is headstrong—unstoppable.
“I cannot control you, nor do I want to, but I am terrified for your safety.”
Revenge is certainly the keyword. As the enemy is still hot on their heels, I did wonder how it would all pan out without more casualties. You see, Tijan’s expertise with plot twists is second to none. I thought I was on the right track, and then bam! Namely, a new character. Ally, enemy—trying to work out whose side this individual was on kept me on my toes. Throw in other could-be villains for good measure, and I honestly didn’t know whom to trust. And folks, that is just what I like about Tijan’s storytelling. She has a knack for convincing you that everything’s running smoothly in the now, which couldn’t be farther from the truth.
‘Bailey wasn’t the only one keeping secrets.’
Oops, Kash is mine, ladies! He’s his own man, knows what he wants, treats those around him accordingly and loves his lady so much that if his actions don’t make you swoon—well, I don’t know who will. Observing him and Bailey’s relationship progress was a joy to read. Wow! And to say their chemistry is explosive would be putting it mildly.
“I’m not supposed to do anything except love, cherish, and protect you.”
And how could I not mention Matt? Not only does he have cheeky wit, but he’s also got his heart in the right place. Yep, I never had any choice. I was always on Team Batt! And I dare you not to fall for Bailey’s younger siblings, who are simply adorable. Tijan has made all her characters come alive by developing their personality traits impeccably. The plot? Exceptionally well constructed!
“You’re right. You’d never be a part of Team Batt.”
The Revenge has just what I look for in romantic suspense and is a worthy addition to an enthralling series I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Bravo, Tijan!

SOME BACKGROUND: Weeks earlier, an attempted abduction of Bailey Hayes led to the discovery that she is the illegitimate daughter of a powerful IT billionaire, and not all is well with the new family dynamics. Bailey Hayes has a genius IQ like her estranged father, and will come to learn she has several half-siblings but the most important discovery is the love that will develop between Bailey and one-time Francis empire ‘fixer’ Kashton ‘Kash’ Colelle, a man who is more dark and dangerous than she could have ever imagined.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Bailey and Kash) THE REVENGE focuses on the continuing relationship between twenty-two year old computer hacker Bailey Hayes, and fixer Kashton ‘Kash’ Colello, as well as the take down of someone determined to control our story line couple. Kash’s past is after our story line heroine in an effort to destroy the man that she loves. Kash Colello is a powerful man in the world of underground crime, and as such, his reputation precedes his introduction to everyone involved but an intricate plan has been put into motion involving several people close to our story line couple, a scheme meant to take down Kash Colello, ruining Bailey Hayes-Francis’ name in the process. As our couple struggle to keep one step ahead, the domino affect of said plan has begun, and our couple find themselves battling not only the people in charge but one another and the people they love.
The relationship between Kash and Bailey is often combative as Kash is desperate to protect the woman he loves but Bailey is determined to ‘stand by her man’, a man who is about to discover another secret from his tormented past. As Kash struggles to pus an end to the threats against Bailey, another ghost from the past returns to add more fuel to an already out of control fire. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
THE REVENGE is an intense and dramatic story of secrets and lies, power and control, greed, betrayal and vengeance, surprises and love. The premise is complex, detailed, revealing and edgy; the characters are charismatic and dynamic, once again, the secondary characters play a significant role in the story line development- I am hoping the author has plans for more stories focusing on several of the aforementioned characters; the romance is edgy and impassioned.
