Nothing Sweeter
Blood is thicker than water, but nothing is sweeter than revenge.
I’m Solaris James. A megastar. The darling of the media. America’s sweetheart.
Beneath the flawless image, though, I’m no stranger to pain. After my father’s death, my family abandoned my mother and me, leaving us to fend for ourselves. I swore I’d never need them again, and for years, I didn’t.
Then, on my eighteenth birthday, my father’s lawyer delivers a I’m the sole heir to the James Empire. Suddenly, my life is turned upside down, and people from my past start resurfacing.
One of them is Silas O’Conner.
Silas wasn’t just any part of my past. He was my best friend. My confidant. The one person who knew me better than anyone—and the secret love of my life. When he deserted me too, it shattered me. I never thought I’d see him again.
But then, tragedy strikes. Someone in my family murders my mother, and I’m consumed with a need for vengeance. I’ll do whatever it takes to hunt down the person responsible. Silas may have walked away once, but this time, he has no choice—he’s either helping me find the truth and deliver justice, or he will become my enemy.
He chooses me.
The moment Silas steps back into my world, everything changes. The connection between us is undeniable, and before I know it, he’s woven himself into my life once more. But with him comes a dark, dangerous passion I can’t ignore. And it’s a reminder of the family lesson I learned all too nothing is ever as it seems.
As the past unravels and buried secrets emerge, I’m left wondering if I can truly trust the man I once loved—or if he’s just as bad as my family.

About the author
T. Marie Alexander
8 books30 followersI write YA / NA books, but I don't like being confined to subgenres within those. I read everything from fantasy and sci-fi to paranormal to romance fiction. So, who is to say I won't come out with paranormal series?
My novels usually feature strong girls who are fighting both internal and external battles but usually prevail in the end. There might also be age-gap romances featured. Sue me—I like older men.
I live in Arkansas with my husband who is a Prince fanatic and a few spooky ghosts that like to follow me wherever I go.Don't laugh at the ghosts. They don't like that.

CAN WE PLEASE TALK ABOUT SOLARIS????? Like honestly let’s take a moment to acknowledge how strong she is!!! This girl had the best character arc I’ve read in a long time and the depiction of feminine rage and revenge I LOVED IT!!!
However remember to always check your trigger warnings as this is a dark romance book some may not be able to get through it which is so sad because this book holds power. This book has an amazing fmc who refuses to view herself as a victim and takes all of her rage into making sure it can never happen to her again and for that I envy Solaris.
I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL BOOK 2 COMES OUT!!! I need to see Solaris kick some a$$

I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC copy of this book. And oh my gosh I'm going to purchase a physical copy for my shelf.
The plot was fantastic, the character growth was actually visible. Sol is genuinely badass but also has her flaws, which makes her a relatable character.
I loved the revenge aspect and the spice was great too!
I do have a few things I didn't like. There are few spelling/grammar errors in the book. An example;
"I'll beat the meet and greet." - should say "be at"
My other negative is the age gap is a little too much for me.

Perfect amount of spice and revenge. The story captures your attention from the very first page! You instantly fall in love with Sol and the way she carries herself. And her groth to being the bada** that we can tell she is from page one! I honestly couldn't put this book down. My husband had to take my kindle from me so we could go do the basic daily things lol

✔️Revenge
✔️age gap
✔️taboo
✔️spicy
This one has it all. I was gripped from chapter 1 and didn’t want to put it down. One of my favorite things about Nothing Sweeter is the tangible character growth, you can’t miss it. Solaris is such a strong FMC she really grows into her strength and power and it’s so enjoyable to see. (Especially as she gets revenge on some truly awful people.)

Nothing Sweeter is darker and edgier than anything else I've read by Alexander, but her writing is just as captivating and addictive.
