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!
