Avenge Me

By Maisey Yates

Ten years ago one devastating night changed everything for Austin, Hunter and Alex. Now they must each play their part in the revenge against the one man who ruined it all.

Austin Treffen was born into a world of privilege, but behind its gilded doors lies a corruption so sordid New York's elite would never believe it–especially as his infamous philanthropic father is at its core! With everything he believed in shattered, how can Austin take down his father–risking his family name and those he loves–without any proof? 

Until one earth–shattering night with Katy Michaels unlocks not only their deepest, most passionate desires but also the key to bringing Jason Treffen's reign to an end. But with an intense sexual attraction that combines a heady mix of exquisite pleasure and sublime pain, will they satiate their thirst for revenge and each other…or lose themselves forever in the darkness?

[janet126 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Austin Treffen, a tortured high-powered NY attorney, finds himself passionately attracted to Katy Michaels, who has spent years setting the stage for revenge on the man who caused her sister's death. After a blazing hot night, the two realize they share a goal as well as a shared enthusiasm for bondage. While the author convincingly explains the motivations of hero and heroine, Austin's singular commitment to avenging his mother's ill treatment by his father seems so jarring as to make him unappealing.

I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand this book is like a guilty pleasure. You don't want to admit that you enjoyed it but at the same time you can't help but like it. I did read this book in a matter of a few short hours. While, I did like this book and it was a quick read, I did feel that the plot was a little weak. Really, so let me get this straight...girl meets boy, girl falls for guy, they have sex, girl and boy somehow get their revenge on the boy's father, and girl and boy fall in love. Not original. Austin did have the tormented, soul, but hot guy thing going for him. Don't get me wrong as hot, steamy sex is always a good thing. Sometimes it can be too much when there is not much else happening. This is what I felt like while reading this book. Katy was not the strong, independent woman that I wanted her to be. She seemed to cave under Austin's direction to easily. I hope that the next book has more of a plot line.

Ten years ago, Alex didn't realize what his father was up to. Now issues have come to light and Alex knows he must do something to right a very serious wrong. Revenge is the only thing on his mind. Little does he know, Katy is out for a little revenge against Alex's father too. Their thirst for revenge is about to put them directly in each other's path. Can they combine their efforts for revenge without needing more from each other?The cast of characters were varied, but each had his/her place to add depth to the story and make it very believable. Everyone had their issues which added to the story and made the by-play between everyone seem realistic. I didn't feel that this story was overly romantic and even though it has a BDSM theme, it felt a little on the emotionally cold side. Of course, this story did have a more serious theme to it and maybe I'm just not used to that in a romance. The sex is explicit, the issues thought-provoking, and the story thorough. I only wish there was a little bit more of a romantic vibe to it. Overall, I really liked it and yes, I will recommend it!

I freely chose to review this book and I HAVE to read the rest of the series!! I loved the fact that Katy Michaels sought revenge on the powerful Jason Treffen to crumble his dirty empire and get justice for her sister. She alone plotted to bring his sordid kingdom down and save every woman she could so that they never did what Sarah thought she had no choice to end the abuse.Austin Treffen and his two friends were born to privilege, but they tried to not think about what happened ten years ago. Once Austin received the letter that confirmed his father's involvement that forced Sarah Michaels to choose the only way out she thought she had, he was appalled by his selfishness and he vowed to shock the New York elite and bring his family name down if that's what it took to get justice for Sarah.
