***Volume 2 of the SIZZLING-HOT erotic romance with an over-the-top alpha hero***
Chicago billionaire Jonas Westerling has it all: money, power, a reputation for brilliance, a family he will fiercely protect...and the burning need for revenge.
Linnea Melbourne has nothing. No friends, no lovers, no worldly experience, no resources...and no idea what's about to happen to her.
Jonas has hated Linnea for years, with no way to forgive her...until now. At last he will take his revenge, make Linnea pay for her crimes and finally put the past behind him.
There's only one...tiny...problem. Linnea is innocent.
Now she's paying for somebody else's sins with her body, becoming the plaything he demands, doing every naughty thing he commands. Because if she doesn't, somebody else will pay - somebody she must protect at all costs.
Yet behind his cold rage, behind her shocked sorrow, there's something else simmering - a red-hot, decade-long passion that might never burn out, no matter what disturbing secrets come to light...

DELICIOUSLY DARK, SERIOUSLY SEXY AND DELIGHTFULLY ENTERTAINING !!! Title: His Vengeance Series: The Alpha Billionaire's Revenge Designation: Books Six thru Nine of Serial, NOT a Standalone, NO CLIFFHANGER Author: Deana Farrady My Rating: FIVE SERIOUSLY SEXY STARS***** Wow! I love this series, or I should say serial because the story was originally released in installments but is now complete. None of the books in this serial are standalone reads and each release does contain a cliffhanger but maybe I'm just a bit weird because I love this concept, especially when the book is part of the Kindle Unlimited program. These short installments are perfect for a quick naughty break. I read each of the nine installments as they were originally released. Fortunately, the author has now released the first five installments into one convenient box set and has also released another collection containing the four remaining installments. Now having warned everyone right up front, I'd like to talk about the story itself. Quite frankly, this is my first time reading Deana Farrady's work and I had no idea what to expect. I saw an advertisement offering the first book for free and after reading the blurb, I decided I would try it, read a few pages and if I didn't like it, I'd just stop reading. Well, I didn't stop reading because I couldn't! I was immediately drawn into this story and fortunately there were six more books in the series already available so I binged and read all seven in one sitting. I loved it! I'm a little fickle about reviewing a 'new to me' author so I decided to hold off on leaving a review until I had a better grasp of the story and the author's talent but now after having read the first eight books, I can honestly state that I'm very impressed with Farrady's skill as a writer. Some people are born with a natural innate ability as a storyteller and Farrady seems to be abundantly blessed with this gift. I was also impressed by her language skills. This story is beautifully written with good grammar and spelling, great sentence structure, good punctuation and exceptional vocabulary/word skills. The narrative is written in the third person with alternating his and her points of view. The dialogue is seductive, well executed and flows effortlessly. But it's the magnificent cast of well developed characters that will draw you in and steal your heart. The interaction and sexual chemistry between the male and female protagonists is so darn hot, it sizzles! I know this breakdown of the story may sound pretty boring but it takes all of these elements to craft a great book rather than just a good book. I'm not a professional reviewer but I do know what I like, what I love and what I don't, and I truly love this story. His Vengeance, The Alpha Billionaire's Revenge Series is a deliciously dark romance as the title suggests and not for the meek of heart but it you like a steamy, seductive, erotic read filled to the brim with danger, drama, blackmail, suspense, revenge, domination and dreamy sex, then you will enjoy this story! If you love your book boyfriends hot, handsome, charismatic, dominant and all consuming, and your heroines smart, sassy, independent yet submissive for the right man, then you will become addicted to Jonas Westerling and Linnea Melbourne!
Handsome billionaire Jonas Westerling has everything wealth could offer - money, clothes, real estate, an endless string of women vying for his attention but there's still one thing he wants more life itself. Jonas Westerling wants revenge and he's determined to have it. He's been planning it for 10 long years and he will not be denied. An unknown young woman almost destroyed his fourteen year old brother, ruining any chance for a normal future, and she must suffer! He's been searching for years with a single minded purpose and he's finally found her. Now she will pay - not with money for she has none, but he wants something even more valuable - the unconditional surrender of her body and her will. He's going to break her and when he's finished using her, he'll toss her away like the garbage she is. Or will the beautiful young innocent bring the hardened billionaire to his knees - literally??? Oh my!
Timid, naive Linnea Melbourne has had very little experience with men, sex and life in general. She's definitely not a social butterfly and only wants to finish her schooling, find a good job and be left alone. But when she's literally abducted and forced to meet the wealthy billionaire Jonas Westerling, she has no idea what's happening or why - until she realizes that he has obviously mistaken her for her twin. She's immediately drawn to the handsome, dark, brooding and often cruel businessman but how can you be attracted to someone who wants to destroy you? Someone you know you should hate??? And how can she prevent him from discovering that the person he seeks is not her but actually her twin sister? Well, that's quite the quandary, isn't it??? One that may put Linnea in harm's way. Unfortunately Jonas Westerling is a man with enemies who have now become a threat to Linnea's safety - enemies who now see Linnea as the perfect means to destroy Jonas Westerling. Oh my! No spoilers from me but I will say this...Handsome and sometimes cruel billionaire intent on revenge-check! Beautiful young woman determined to protect her sister regardless of the cost-check! Danger, drama, lies, blackmail, mystery, suspense and intrigue-check! Heated attraction, fiery passion, arousing domination, steamy sex and dreamy romance-you bet! That and a whole lot more!
OMG! I was totally blown away by the conclusion of this story. No spoilers from me but I will say that this book is probably twice as long as any of the previously released installments and I was on the edge of my seat for every single word! It was sheer and utter perfection! I loved it! Well done Deana Farrady, well done indeed! I am officially a fan for life! I can hardly wait to see what you have in store for us next!
I received an ARC in exchange for a honest review.
The first thing that you should know is that this story is about a very dominant man and his revenge. He takes his revenge through sex and dominance something that he enjoys very much. Luckily, she (his plaything) enjoys it just as much as he! If you want to read this book, you really must love erotica books because Jones Westerling is very serious about his revenge and he takes revenge whenever and wherever he can!
Sometimes you can have all the money and riches in the world but still miss the one thing that you really want. For Chicago billionaire Jonas Westerling that one thing is revenge. Revenge on the one woman who dare to hurt his brother all those years ago. But finally the moment has come, the moment he has been waiting for, for many years. Revenge!
Linnea Melbourne hasn’t had an easy life. Her parents were very strict and her sister was an drugs addict, something that has marked all their lives forever. But now she has finally find her way in life. She’s studying again and living a quiet life without friends or a boyfriend but it’s a peaceful one and she likes that. At least it was a peaceful life until she’s summoned to Jonas Westerling office. A man, who is famous in Chicago but who she has never met before. But Linnea soon learns that Jonas knows a lot about her or more correctly he knows a lot about her sister’s past. The easiest way for her to get out of this situation is to simple tell him that he has the wrong girl in his office but that would also mean that she puts her sister’s life in danger. So Linnea decides to take her sister’s place in Jonas great plan of revenge. Not knowing then that she wouldn’t only pay with her body but also with her heart and soul!
Because Jonas demands that Linnea becomes his plaything for as long as he desires. Although Linnea is very shocked by Jonas decision to make her his plaything somewhere deep, deep inside she also feels something else. A deep attraction between the two of them. Their passion burns very hot but there’s also a huge conflict in the both of them because although their passion brings them together, Jonas revenge and Linnea’s secret keep them also apart. And when other people get involved things become more confusing than ever. Because what really happened that day many years ago??
One thing is becoming clearer and clearer, the passion between them is getting hotter and hotter and Jonas is becoming very dominant of his plaything. A dominance that Linnea is soon getting addicted to just like Jonas attended from the start. But Jonas will soon learn that it goes both ways, because a dominant man can also get addicted to his submissive plaything.
The question now is, how will Jonas react when the truth comes out about what really happened in the past and will he forgive Linnea for telling a lie?
The first part of the story is all about Jonas and Linnea and Jonas taking revenge on Linnea. In the last part of the story you get to know the other players in this story too and what really happened in the past. The story takes place in a very short time period, things really go fast. Jonas is very dominant and Linnea is very submissive. They’re perfect for each other. But Jonas has also a protective side and Linnea can be mouthy at times. Both would do anything for their family, something they share in common.
The story was a hot read with a few surprises and some actions at the end.
This picks up right where volume 1 finished. Volume 2 was better than volume 1 in my opinion, the breadcrumbs scattered before began to make the suspense of the who's, whys and wherefores and there were some great touches.
Between the story moving forward I did find some passages a little long winded and procastinaty (yes a play on word there ☺) but all in all this story works. I found it neither dark nor disturbing, but a fair paced jaunt along the life of a dominant man who is hell bent on 'punishment' but never really dishes any out.
Some may sum of the characters as Linnea being a little meek and weak and Jonas being a wannabe dominant but never quite making it. For me I just found them both quite endearing. Yes they both had elements that drove me up the wall sometimes but I love that characters can pee me off just as much as they can excite me.
I'm glad I read this as just two books, I honestly don't know if I'd have stayed the distance reading it as a serial read, but then I avoid serial reads most of the time anyway. If you're looking for a encapsulating type escape read, into a world that you'll never find yourself, with alpha billionaires in, then you should enjoy this. It's a good kind off old fashioned romance meets erotic with a small mix of suspense.
I recieved Volume 2 to review, my reviews are my own and 100% honest.
Book 2 of The Alpha Billionaire's Revenge was just as dark and twisted and sexy as the first. Hold on to your seat as the sex gets hotter, danger appears and redemption for Linnea and Jonas. As their past comes to the forefront they both realize just how much they're meant to be together. So happy I was able to purchase book two right after I read book one!
OMG YES. Ok this was worth it. He finally figures it out, thank goodness, I never truly appreciated this kind of S/M relationship and reading books like this always make me more and more interested in it and wanting to learn more about it. They were so good together and while he made me mad it worked for her so I settled down. I love the way it ended too. SO perfect.
I couldn't stop reading! I read the first five books and had to get the last four so that I knew how it ended. The revenge wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I loved the way that Jonas was as addicted to Linnea as she was to him.
This two book series was great at keeping me completely mesmerized for many hours. I read both of them without stopping. Very intriguing story line and you keep waiting for the other shoe to fall. Good read.
I'm giving this book five star because it is worthy of it! This story has taken some twist and turns. Jonas is a asshole but sweet on the inside. Linnea pretended to be someone else to protect her sister. Great story... I can't say more without giving the story away.
This whole series was awesome. I couldn't wait to see how this book end. This my second book by this author and it won't be my last. You need to read it.
This is my first book by Deans Farrady and I loved it. This is part 2 of a two part series. The story was not only well written but very compelling with lots of twists and turns. This is quite a dark story and Jonas has been plotting his revenge on Linnea for a long time. He had his men drag her to his office and tells her he has decided she'll pay her debt by being his sex slave basically and she agrees, even though we know she is inn0cent in order to protect her twin. The sex between the two is so,e of the hottest scenes I have ever read. I couldn't put it down. The characters were meticulously thought out and the story flowed so easily before I knew it I was done part 1. Absolutely recommend, 5 big stars
