Title: Chasing Vengeance
Series: Redemption Harbor Book #7
Stand Alone Title: yes, recommended in order
Author: Katie Reus
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Blurb: Wanting her means putting a target
on her back…
Layla’s taste in men runs toward the epic side of awful. With one murderous
ex-fiancé already behind her, she’s attempting to start over in Redemption
Harbor with the help of her bestie, Nova. And wine. Lots of wine. The very
thing that helps her make another epic mistake—trying to kiss Xavier, one of
her newest friends. So what if he’s sexy, funny, and has completely taken over
her fantasies? Relationships and Layla don’t mix. And Xavier is clearly not
interested anyway.
But it’s too late to walk away…
Any good hitman has no business forging a personal life…no matter how great the
temptation. And Xavier is an exceptionally good hitman, with a long list of
enemies. Even if Layla could somehow look past his profession, he’d never put
her in jeopardy. But everyone has their breaking point—and when Layla accepts a
date with someone else, Xavier’s possessiveness is unleashed. The greater the
risk, the sweeter the reward…until Xavier’s sweet Layla is used against him by
someone from his past. Now he’ll do whatever it takes to protect her from the
enemy hunting her from the shadows.
Favorite quote(s): I hate it when I have to be nice to someone I want to punch in the face.
Thoughts: I was excited for this addition to the series – one, because I love Redemption Harbor and two, because I have been wanting Xavier to get his happily ever after. I expected a bit more intensity though and for me it just fell a little flat. Still a great book – let’s be honest, Reus always does a great book – but this one will just kind of fade into the background compared to the others.
