This is the fourth book in the Bellamy Brothers series, and it is an emotional ride that will hit hard, especially for those who have experienced what the heroine has undergone. For the past few years, Raven has been fighting against a challenging form of cancer, but she has finally turned a corner and is able to get on with her life. However, all is not coming up roses as she accidentally overhears her brothers discussing a private issue that has the potential to throw things awry again for her family. Vinnie is Savannah’s brother, and she is engaged to Raven’s brother Falcon. Vinnie has returned home to take his rightful place as the heir to his family. To say it was not on the list of things he wanted to do would be an understatement. Standing in his way is his evil grandfather but Vinnie is not one to step back and is willing to do whatever it takes to get what he wants. From the beginning, this storyline pulls at the heartstrings and keeps getting tighter as the pages progress. Ms. Hardt has a panache for crafting amazing plots that keep building in their intensity until that cliffhanger ending that leaves one gasping for breath and craving the next book. Overall, this is one book that holds one in its thrall as Raven and Vinnie go headfirst into the wild blue yonder and readers will see where this journey continues asap. Get on and saddle up to enjoy this rollercoaster ride.

3.5/5🌶
The Bellamy Brothers Saga is back and this time it's their Sister Raven's story.
Raven is recovering from cancer and has fought for her life & freedom to do what she wants. When she over hears her brother’s talking she inserts herself into their problem and finds out their secret. Family is everything to her and she wants nothing more than to help.
Vinnie who is Savannah's brothwr is back from hiding and in order to save his sister’s newly found family from more tragedy he needs to take his place in the "Family Busines" when his grandfather asks him to do something horrible he outright refused and so he's set with another task.
When Raven enters the picture things changed for Vinnie. It was love at first sight, despite his denial. Now with his newfound feelings for Raven & his sister’s love for Falcon Bellamy, he's going to stop at nothing to help keep the Bellamy Family safe and take down his Despicable grandfather's business. He'll burn the world down in order to keep Raven safe and he'll start with his own Evil Grandfather.
Helen Hardt thw Queen of Cliffhangers gives us a cliffhanger that made me stare into space for a good 15 minutes. She knows how to grab you by the had and bring you straight into her worlds. Vengeful Vice was no exception. I am on pins and needles for the next book.

A great start to Vinnie and Raven’s story!
The first book of Vinnie and Raven’s story starts in the present, then goes into the past where it remains at the end of this book to be continued in the next book of their story. It’s easy to follow, though. It’s a whirlwind of a story that’s full of anticipation on what will happen next. It’s a dark mafia story of which Vinnie left 17 years ago to escape his grandfather and what he did to Vinnie and the dirty deeds of his mafia family. He is back with revenge that is a vengeful vice for him. Raven had leukemia. Her brother was in prison and came out to give her his bone marrow. He is also married to Vinnie’s sister. That’s how they meet. They are drawn to each other immediately. They don’t act on the attraction then. Vinnie doesn’t want to get Raven involved in his mess of taking down his grandfather. She gets involved anyway because she Vinnie’s weakness. Someone is after him. He thinks it’s his grandfather, but is it? I can’t wait to read the next book.

What a cliffhanger..... this book has you gripped from the very beginning.
Vinnie is back after years of being in hiding from his family and is now ready to take charge of the family business. His grandfather is the mafia boss who does not hesitate to kill anyone innocent or not to get what he wants, but Vinnie is determined to bring his grandfather down.
Raven Bellamy had been through her own battles with cancer, and now I'd finally on the mend thanks to her brother Falcon. She had been given a 2nd chance at life and is determined not to waste it. Vinnie, who is the brother of Savanna, comes into her life, and she is drawn to him. There is chemistry that is so hot and a passion that is so intense that it could be dangerous.
Another brilliant read from Helen Hardt, so ready for the next instalment 😍

Readers, be prepared for another wild cliffhanger ending. Helen never disappoints, the Bellamy family maybe in over their heads this time.
Vinnie must get in with the family business after disappearing for 17 yrs. His grandfather is a ruthless mafia boss, who doesn’t hesitate to kill, even innocent people.
Raven Bellamy has been thru her own battle with cancer. She thinks that Vinnie is just the medicine she needs to continue her recovery. Her brother Falcon was a bone marrow match that is working. Falcon’s fiancé is Vinnie’s sister. Secrets are overheard and Raven and Savannah are pulled to the truth, of drugs, shootings and buried bodies.
While the chemistry between Raven and Vinnie, is undeniably hit!! Now we wait for the Volatile Vice.

Love is not possible without sacrifice...
A confident woman is a beautiful woman. That describes Raven Bellamy. She conquered Cancer and took no prisoners. She has been given a second chance at life and she is determined not to waste it. She is drawn to Vincent Gallo Jr. who has returned after seventeen years. Her feelings for him are visceral.
Vincent returns with a mission to demolish the family. When Raven enters his life, he feels like he is being pulled in two different directions and he has to decide which way to turn. The two of them have only one speed - full tilt. Their passion is intense and cannot be denied, but at what cost. A soul gripping story that will stir up all your emotions.

Nobody does family like Helen Hardt but definitely not the Mayberry family. The Bellamy’s return in Book 4 as we go along for Raven’s story. She has been fighting cancer for the last 3 years and is finally able to enjoy life again. However, when she overhears her brothers discussing an issue she definitely should stay out of she wonders if things could turn dark for her family again.
This story will pull you right in from the start and not let you go. The plot is so very well put together, laying the groundwork for the amazing cliffhanger ending. This author is the only author who has such a way with her bombshell endings that the reader can be left speechless. I absolutely loved this story and cannot wait for Raven and Vinnie’s next book.

Little Cobra is back with a vengeance, he is back to take over. He is not looking for a relationship, but Raven is flying in to save the day and steal his heart. Family is what it's all about. Helen Hardt writes with precision, and I just want to gobble it up. Can't wait to see what happens next with these two families. I highly recommend reading Savannah and Falcon's story first, but you don't have to, it's just that good.

Vengeful Vice falls the story of Raven and Vinnie.
Vinnie has been gone for several years but now he is back to take down mob family.
Raven just survived cancer and is taking advantage of getting a second chance on life.
Raven and Vinnie start a hot romance all while trying to deal with each other's families.
This book didn't disappoint! I can't wait for the next book!

This series is confusing. It is not in depth. Too many confusing things with no explanation. . Abrupt endings. Not really finishing the story. Yes Cliff hangers. Raven has been through so much. She finally has feelings and gets out there. She overs hears a nightmare about her family. She falls Savannah’s brother . There is murder, being followed, drones, and much more .
July 21, 2025
Oh man, I loved this first book highlighting Raven and Vinnie! Vinnie trying to wrestle with the line of getting his grandfather to trust him, while trying to bring down his mafia empire at the same time... and Raven trying to figure out how to get back to normal after beating leukemia. Such a great book, and now to dive into the next one because that cliffhanger demands it!!
September 23, 2024
OH MY GOSH! there is so much going on here. You have everything coming out about why Falcon actually served time. You have Vinnie and his grandfather battling and just when you thought Vinnie had the upper hand BAM! I gotta give it to you Helen this was one heck of a roller coaster ride.
September 25, 2024
An awsome read. Has a lot of things happening, like Falcon telling his story on why he went to prison. His sister finally finding out. The chemistry with her and Vinnie are off the charts. Definitely can't wait for the next book.

Absolutely fantastic book with so many plot twist and strong characters. The plot goes here and there and everywhere and somehow they all come together at an intersection which makes the book so engaging. I can’t wait for the next one.

The saga continues and the plot thickens but the spice doesn't really.
