Nika Payne is determined to escape the brutality and cruelty that has overtaken her life. Forced to marry Kevin Nollan to protect her brother, Nika has endured endless beatings and so much more at his hands. All she needs to do is find the evidence that Kevin has been holding over her, and then she could regain her life and freedom, and tell everyone the truth. But as her husband becomes more on edge, Nika begins to worry that she will not survive the next attack. The only bright spark in her life at the moment is her friend Eva's upcoming marriage to Gabriel. And if Nika gets to look at Vincente Romani one more time, what harm would that be?

Vincente Romani cannot get the beautiful red head, Nika, out of his mind. He wants her badly and has a feeling that she is hiding something from her brother, her friend, and everyone else, including him. When it comes to light the horrific ordeal she has been living to protect her brother, Vincente takes on the role of her protector, and she escapes her monster. Vincente does this due to his past failure in protecting his little sister, Sophia, and partly because he cannot stand the thought of anyone touching his woman. As he struggles with how much he needs Nika, he pushes her away repeatedly, as he believes she deserves so much better than what he can offer her. As they struggle to deny their sexual energy, a passion worth fighting for erupts between them. But when evil returns, threatening everyone she loves, will Nika survive to tell Vincente how she truly feels? Or will Vincente walk away from her yet again, in order to protect her from his world?

Nancy Haviland has done it again with this second instalment of her Wanted Men series. THE SALVATION OF VENGEANCE had me gripped from beginning to end, with my heart racing as danger and passion jumped off the page. Nika is an amazing character that sacrifices herself for the people she loves, and I really wanted her to regain her spirit and fight. Vincente is the ultimate hero, even if I did want to scream at him to just grab Nika and never let her go. Deep, dark and devastatingly handsome, Vincente struggles with the demons of his past, and fears a future where he may fail, and lose the woman of his dreams.

The action is fast paced and energetic, and I enjoyed learning more about the other members of Vincentes crew. Every romance fan should read this series, and I literally could not put THE SALVATION OF VENGEANCE by Nancy Haviland, down until I had it finished. So I really hope the third book is on its way soon!!!

SUMMARY

Only something as important as her best friend’s wedding to mob boss Gabriel Moretti could allow Nika Paynne a reprieve from captivity. Her abusive husband has kept her under his thumb with footage of her beloved brother, Caleb, killing another man. But the respite from her violent life isn’t the only draw. Vincente Romani—Gabriel’s deadliest guardian— will be one of the best men at the wedding, and Nika has lingering thoughts about the fascinating mobster…covetous thoughts that may put her life in danger. With the heartbreak he’s suffered and the brutality he effortlessly delivers, Vincente knows he’s the last person who can offer Nika a happily-ever-after. But his vow remains. He will do everything in his power to free his redhead from her violent prison—even if that means losing her forever. In the second thrilling and passionate Wanted Men book, a dangerous line is drawn between loyalty to the mob and loyalty to one’s heart.
