I think an author
truly nails it when they have the ability make you feel a range of emotions
ranging from disbelief, laughter, emotion, sadness; in fact a whole spectrum of
emotions, some at once and some all at the same time! This is exactly how Dani Collins made me
feel as I read Vows of Revenge - the epitome of revenge stories.
Usually with
revenge stories the Hero will threaten to reap revenge but it kind of never
really happens. In Vows of Revenge, it
totally does and when it does that's when the feeling of disbelief hits, he did NOT just do that I thought... but
oh yes, Roman very cleverly and heart-breakingly reaps revenge on Melodie; so
sure she's in his sanctuary as an undercover who's trying to seek industrial
secrets from him. My heart bottoms out
with Melodie's reaction.
Security specialist
Roman is a very private man who agrees to host his P.A's wedding at his
private home. Melodie is like an excited
little butterfly, about to organise her very first wedding. Recklessly Melodie throws all thought to the
wind and the two end up in bed but all is dashed when Roman tells her exactly
what he's done and why. It's about now
you know your'e reading about the worlds biggest ass and wondering how on earth
is he going to redeem himself or fix things so you're still hanging on every
sentence hoping the two get their happy ever after... trust me when I say the
author absolutely manages to do this and more which brings me back to my first
point, an author truly nails it when they have the ability to make you feel a
range of emotions - but most of all achieving what she wants us as readers to
do - believe! Believe in the journey,
love the characters, laugh and cry with them and believe they will get their
happy ever after!
I loved Roman's
unique character and I loved how he tried to atone for his behavior. He was a true conqueror of the wrongs he both
experienced and caused. Melodie was driven by her promise to her Mother and I'm
so glad that happened.
Dani Collin's Vows
of Revenge is a wonderfully emotive story filled with two characters battling
where they've come from and trying to make their own way in the world. A tough childhood has helped shape Roman into
the man he is and it takes a pretty special girl slip through the cracks. A wonderful story about two people who are
complete opposites but so destined to be and their journey of learning even up
until the point Roman lets Melodie go and live her dream... much like the
concept if you love something you must let it go... but if you haven't told what
you've let go you love them, how do they know to come back?

"Vows of Revenge" by Dani Collins is a quick, enjoyable read. I have read a few books from this author and she has a way to keep the reader enthralled.
This is the story of Melodie Parnell and Roman Killian. She is kept emotionally and physically innocent by her father and brother. He is seeking revenge against his enemy by taking it out on the daughter. The relationship is complicated by many emotions and lies.
There is much more to this book but it deserves to be read rather than me telling you about it.

Melodie Parnell is out there to make a name for herself without the leverage her father's name lends; him being a senator. She does not even use her father's name. Choosing to start a wedding planning business after her mother's death to fulfill her mother's last wish, she gets on the path getting a client. Her mother's friend's daughter and is all ready to go and scope the venue for the wedding. A venue that is the residence of not only Melodie's client's boss but also the residence of the man who holds the feelings of enmity to her father. That man is Roman Killian; a super genius in the security industry.
Roman finds out that the wedding planner for his assistant is none other but his enemy's daughter and he believes her to be her father's spy planted in his house to bring the man inside information. The power he now wields, he gets the wheels set in motion to get the woman evicted from the small house that she rents in Virginia because he seriously believes she does not really need the place when her father owns a mansion where she was definitely living like a princess.
The truth is not anywhere near what Roman believes and one mistake he makes in his own bed makes him run after the woman to make things right.
Melodie on the other hand wants to have nothing to do with Roman again. She had believed him to be different from the men she had known at home but she, like her trust, was all battered and she had a long journey to get her mother where she had always wanted to be.
It is up to Roman to come out of the shell he had hidden himself into, to make the woman he loved to believe him when he says he loves her and wants a lifetime and more with her.
A journey where he not only encourages her to do what she is passionate about, he actively aids her too.
The sign of his love when he lets her be herself and does not stifle her after he has gotten her fired twice.
Enjoyed immensely
