Finally, after one year, his efforts had paid off, and
Leonardo Duarte had found her—Satyanna Darling. After
a
weekend of unbridled sex, she had disappeared. He thought
they had a real connection, and he had needed the comfort
at
the time. While she was a welcome distraction, he hoped
they might take it from there. But when he learned a
valuable family heirloom had vanished while she was with
him, he had looked into her past. He would search
high and low to make her pay. It seemed she was a con
artist working alongside Harry Clemonte. Harry has
been Satyanna's substitute father since she was a
teenager; he helped her through rough times, and he had
asked her to do a con job years before in exchange for
information about her family. But Satyanna didn't want
any part of it anymore. She tried to keep her
distance from Harry, but he always found her. In spite of
the undeniable attraction Leonardo still feels towards
Satyanna, he is bent on revenge, Then he makes a
deal with her that has deadly consequences...
When Carmen Falcone steps out of her comfort zone, she
doesn't do things halfway. BRAZILIAN REVENGE is a sexy
romance, which we expect from Ms.
Falcone, but with a strong suspense element that is
entirely new for this author. This is also a very emotional
story. BRAZILIAN REVENGE is a tad difficult to review
because the whole story revolves around an epic plot
twist. But fear not, Ms. Falcone's trademark sense of
humour and quirky writing style is as colourful as the
Brazilian Samba, and she makes Brazil come alive, not
just the Brazil of the rich but of everyday people.
Satyanna and Leonardo don't have it easy: while she
professes her innocence, he needs proofs, he's a lawyer
after all. Leonardo could have been difficult to like,
but it is easy to understand his point of view even
though he is a bit harsh at times. I like that Satyanna
remains level-headed, in spite of all her problems. She
never came across as pathetic but as a strong woman
determined to set things right. BRAZILIAN REVENGE is
Carmen Falcone as you've never seen her before!
Human rights lawyer Leonardo Duarte wants to destroy
Satyanna Darling, the woman who disappeared after a weekend
of earth shattering sex...along with his priceless
sculpture. But when he finds her in a Brazilian prison a
year later he realizes she didn't act alone and blackmails
her into helping him find the man behind the theft.
Satyanna wants to return to the US and stay out of prison,
but she knows Leonardo won't let her, unless she takes him
to the man who really stole from him. As they embark on a
cat and mouse game to find the man with all the answers,
dodging their attraction to each other becomes even more
difficult. But even while things heat up between them,
secrets and mistrust threaten everything.
