Thicker Than Blood: His Filthy Revenge

by Lovebite Shorts

A tale of revenge and betrayal that intertwines two families torn apart by secrets.





When tragedy strikes and Stefanos Karalis inherits more than just family wealth, he discovers his father’s shocking double life. Shock turns to rage as he finds out he has a young half-sister and that his father’s betrayal runs deeper than he imagined.

In a bid for control, he pulls Amari—the mistress’s eldest daughter, into a web of passion and power. But as the heat between them intensifies, so do the stakes.

Can Stefanos tame the fury of his father’s choices, or will his revenge lead to irrevocable consequences?



Amari, fueled by fierce loyalty and love for her family, must navigate Stefanos’s wrath. When he seeks to use and humiliate her in unimaginable ways, she must find a way to turn the tables, or will she yield to his depraved desires?



Can the ties of blood truly be thicker than betrayal?
Dark, disturbing and includes watersports.

wooow

I always love this author’s work and she didn’t disappoint. I enjoyed the depraved acts from Stefanos and his need for revenge. Amari had my heart since she was sacrificing her dignity for her family. I’m glad the book progressed the way it did and there was character development along with the spice. Can’t wait for the third book in this series. Keep them coming Lovebite Shorts and I’ll keep reading them.

I have to say, I genuinely disliked this book. The themes of pet play and revenge were poorly executed and left me feeling uncomfortable rather than intrigued. I really question the two reviewers who gave it 4 and 5 stars; their perspectives seem so misaligned with what I experienced that it almost makes me doubt their grasp on romance.

The character of Stephano struck me as particularly unlikable—his mean demeanour seemed to overshadow any attempts at redemption, making it hard to connect with him as a protagonist. While there were moments where the smut had the potential to be enjoyable, many passages instead felt off-putting, veering into territory that was more grotesque than enticing.

Let's address the element of golden showers; the scenes involving them were nothing short of repulsive and completely crossed the line. Overall, this book did not resonate with me at all, and I found it lacking in any redeeming qualities.

Let's discuss the character of Amari. I had mixed feelings about her; I couldn't say I truly liked her, nor could I fully dislike her. One of the things that struck me was her apparent lack of resolve, except when it came to defending her sister and mother. In many situations, she seemed to lack the strength to stand up for herself or voice her opinions. There were pivotal moments where she should have confided in her mother about the troubling events unfolding around her. It was disappointing to see that she accepted the unacceptable behaviour directed toward her without protest. After everything she endured, it was clear that she was struggling with her mental state, grappling with the aftermath of his actions.

But she falls in love with him! How? Why?
