"As colourful and unpredictable as the Brazilian Carnival"

Fresh Fiction Review

Brazilian Revenge
Carmen Falcone

Reviewed by Monique Daoust
Posted March 7, 2016

Romance Suspense

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!

SUMMARY

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.
