Sweet Vengeance | Riley Hart

Going into this book after reading Bittersweet Revenge I wasn’t sure how anyone was going to fit Cillian because he seemed to fit so perfectly with Rory but in the most platonic way.  Rory and Cillian have so much history and understand one another on a level many don’t have with another person. But they each will need a person that also understands their connection and relationship, but romantically Rory and Cillian just wouldn’t work. Cillian deep down is such a loving man and unwavering in his loyalty to those he loves.  And also looks out for those that belong to him. 

I really loved how fierce Ollie was in the previous book, and he continued to show his protectiveness throughout the book. He wasn’t afraid to stand up for what he believed in and what he thought was right.  Given his career aspirations it doesn’t surprise me that he is going into law. He is a caretaker at heart. I think what makes Ollie so special is that he is protective of those he loves on an emotional level. He is able to read emotions so well. 

I will be honest I wasn’t sure if Cillian was going to be able to win over Ollie, but I clearly should never have doubted him. Cillian really opened up to Ollie and showed him a side that many don’t see. He was vulnerable and showed a side of himself many do not get to witness.

Cil and Ollie have amazing chemistry that lights up the sheets but they also understand one another on a deeper, more emotional level. Ollie is so very perceptive and is able to read and understand people enabling him to give them what they need. He understands Cillian and Rory’s complex friendship and their need to be close to one another. 

I savored every moment of this book and laughed and cried. I cried a lot. Cillian and Ollie are meant for one another. They complement each other and provide emotional stability and a deep connection that is hard to find. Riley conveyed the emotion of the characters so well it felt like I was there with the characters. This book truly is a must read for all dark romance lovers that know deep down our morally gray characters have a giant heart it just takes the perfect person to pull it out of them.
