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!!!
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.
