The Fidelity World
Retribution
***Previously published in Amazon Kindle Worlds***
Cole spent his entire adult life gaining power to see through his plans of revenge. He never wavered from his goal until Annie. Her piercing blue eyes and smart mouth tempted him with a life he didn’t think possible.
Annie had her own past— her own plot for revenge. Hellbent on taking down the coward who had ripped her hopes and dreams away from her, she would stop at nothing to see it through. The only catch: she needed Cole’s name and the protection it offered.
She didn’t plan on craving Cole’s touch or loving the way he tormented her with stolen kisses and whispered promises.
What started off as a one-year contract, ended up a fury of passion and life changing decisions that neither of them expected.
Was Cole’s focus on the past keeping him from the life he deserved?
Did Annie really lose her dream, or had she just been chasing the wrong one?
Would they lose each other in their desire to get retribution?

I couldn’t put this book down. I practically read the entire book in one sitting. I couldn’t wait to turn the next page.
The chemistry between Annie and Cole was explosive from the very beginning. I loved how their characters developed and how they fought the demons that haunted them together.
The Infidelity Series by Aleatha Romig is one of my all time favorite series and Andrea Bill’s Retribution is a perfect addition to Aleatha’s World.
Thank you Andrea, I really enjoyed reading Retribution. For Infidelity Series Fans like myself, seeing my beloved characters again and portrayed perfectly made the adventure more special and if you haven’t read them, you’ll be intrigued and will want to read it because of how Andrea linked her characters to the Infidelity characters and the way she integrated her story into The Fidelity World!

Was gifted an ARC in exchange for an honest review. The Fidelity World is growing by leaps and bounds and I am grateful that I was able to read this one. Cole has been following in his Grandfather's footsteps, seems to be the only one in his family that is on the up and up. Annie a farmer's daughter thought the small town in which she grew up was stifling and she needed to experience life in the big city, New York, that is! "Concrete Jungle where dreams are made of there's nothing you can't do." Well, maybe escape from your abuser ex-boyfriend. It's always nice to check in with Aleatha's fidelity characters.

Retribution is the first book I read by this author and I loved it. Andrea Bills' addition to The Fidelity World was a perfect fit especially if you are a fan of Aleatha Romig's Infidelity series (not about cheating) as a couple of favorite characters pop in.
Cole and Annie's story sizzles as it builds to an all-out fire. "Whatever was between them was like gasoline to an open flame; it was an inevitable and explosive." I loved the banter between Cole and Annie and I also love the fact that Annie had a potty mouth! Andrea's character development is great as you are introduced to the people surrounding Cole and Annie's life. I can tell you from reading the book that I would rather have a relationship with Sunshine before I would ever get involved with Trey!!
Whether or not you have read any of The Fidelity World books, Retribution is an enjoyable read! If you haven't read The Infidelity series by Aleatha Romig, now is the perfect time to see where it all began.

I'd have finished this book in one sitting if it wasn't for life getting in the way, grrr! it's so good, a page turner. You can't put it down.
Cole and Annie are the perfect match - they tease each other throughout the story, it's constant flirting- the good kind ;) Their scenes felt like foreplay.
I loved Cole, so strong, passionate. Don't get me started on Annie... Andrea Bills does a wonderful job with female characters too. Annie is strong and has two fantastic parents :D No spoilers!
Don't miss out on this sexy, suspenseful story by Andrea Bills, Retribution is the kind of story you need to oneclick.

Cole and Annie...WOW!!! I love that Cole saw beyond what Annie projected and that's the person he wanted to get to know. I love that Annie had the strength to leave her previous relationship, and she was able to see beyond her pain. They both met at the perfect time and was able to give the other what they didn't know they wanted or needed. This was a emotional and heart felt read. This is a must read. There is life after pain.

Książeczka z serii Fidelity World, czyli nawiązująca do organizacji znanej z serii Aleathy Romig Infidelity, która zajmuje się parowaniem osób za pieniądze na cały rok.
Anna ucieka od swojego zaborczego chłopaka, który znęca się nad nią i ukrywa się w organizacji Infidelity, bo dzięki sparowaniu zyskuje opiekę jakiegoś bogatego i wpływowego biznesmena. Cole to facet zbuntowany przeciwko swoim rodzicom pasożytom żerującym na bogactwie dziadka. Już sama śmierć dziadka mogła się wydawać podejrzana. Facet chce pogrążyć swoich starych, żeby ich wszelkie machlojki wyszły na jaw. Do tego potrzebuje towarzystwa, żeby lepiej wyglądać w oczach innych. Kiedy Anna staje na jego drodze, wszystko się zmienia.
Ciekawa historia, ale jak dla mnie nie do końca wykorzystany potencjał.

Retribution is a great addition to the Fidelity World.
It's, also, my first experience with the author, Andrea Bills. So, yeah, I'm a new fan!
I loved Cole and Annie's story. Theirs is much different than the other Infidelity client's stories I've read.
Although Annie has been through it with her ex-boyfriend. She's still a fresh-faced country girl looking to find herself.
I need a Cole of my own. He's such a great guy especially after he comes to terms with his retribution. His family are a piece of work and not in a good way.
There was even an appearance of Nox and Deloris Witt!
Great writing on this one... I didn't want to put it down. It made me mad then I was amused and lastly, I felt so very happy.

I read this in one sitting I loved it!! Fantastic read. This author is fairly new to me but I've loved everything I've read so far.
Annie is a country girl out of her depth it a friend helps her out which leads to her meeting a big city hotshot cole. He's shell bent on getting even with his family she's after revenge on her violent powerful Ex, so will a year long contract between them finally give them what they both need Retribution.
Definitely worth the 5* I've given it I couldn't put it down.

While this is the first book I've read from this author, I'm very familiar with the Fidelity World books and this one fits perfectly. I loved Cole and Annie. The spark they had from the first time they set eyes on each other, the banter between the two, the way Cole read her so perfectly and how Annie didn't back down from him even considering what she just escaped from. Not only was their chemistry off the charts, they seemed to fill a void in each other as well. Not to say that they didn't have their bumps in the road, but they just added to the reasons I enjoyed this story.

September 4, 2018I must say Andrea did it again! I can’t say how much I enjoyed this book! I loved the characters Cole and Annie. I LITERALLY read this in a few hours, I seriously couldn’t put it down. I very much enjoyed how things with Cole and Annie progressed and seen how they went from strangers to much, much more! I think this story is beautifully written and full of twist and turns. I can’t wait to read more from Andrea in the future!☺️

Cole and Annie....super hot!!!! Loved this story from beginning to end. Had me on the edge of my seat and loving every word. Only a couple times did I want to toss my kindle against a wall, but I held firm and kept reading, lol! Can't wait to read more of The Fidelity World books. Thank you Andrea for another great story, but I want more!!!! ;)

Best yet of the Andrea Bills books. After meeting Cole and Annie, I was excited to see how their characters would enteract with each other. I couldn't put this book down for very long, and when I did, I would say, just one more chapter. Great read of love, family relationships and suspense. Excited for next book to see where Andrea has our imagination going.

Wow! I love Andrea's work, but this one took the cake! From the characters to the setting and inclusion of the best state there is, West Virginia, I just couldn't get enough. The dynamics in this book are phenomenal! Thank you for these words and this story!
I was given an advanced copy in exchange for my very real and honest opinion! :) Seriously. I loved it!

I loved this storyline, Cole had a privileged upbringing that lacked love from his parents, he found that love in the form of his Grandfather, through that relationship he learned to be respectful, honest and trustworthy and knew his parents carried none of these traits.
Annie was born and raised in West Virginia, from a humble home she moves to New York in search of the world beyond her small hometown.
Annie has a abusive relationship with Trey and when a neighbour helps her escape he gives her the contact details of The Infidelity corporation.
Cole and Annie are matched and sign a year contract, both using each other for there own personal reasons they soon realise they need to deal with their pasts before they can move on.
This is a beautifully written story with lots going on, I couldn’t put it down.

Wow what an incredible jaw dropping book about a women named Annie trying to escape a messy situation that lands her into the arms of cole that needs his help as much as he needs her help. Both their past catches up to them will that be enough to scare them away from each other.

Andrea has outdone herself yet again! I know I say that on every review but this book had me holding my breath every step of the way! I couldn’t put it down & you won’t be able to either! Annie is such a wonderful character and I love Cole so much for his wonderful heart! They went into this practically blind and came out of it completely & utterly in love! I loved it so much and can’t wait to read more from Andrea!! ❤️

I love, love, love this book!! Cole was raised with wealth and privilege but his love for his grandpa was worth more than any money he could ever get from him. His family was a whole different story. Cole would have his revenge. Annie had found herself in a horribly abusive relationship with Trey. And Trey had power and money. But one night Annie’s neighbor rescued her and sent her far away out of the reach of Trey. After a little time Annie meets Cole in a very unconventional way. The deal she makes with Cole is supposed to keep her safe, she can do this for the money and protection. What she wasn’t expecting from him was all the feelings and emotions of a relationship. Afraid to fall again, she realizes that Cole is her only chance when her past comes to haunt here. Can Cole find revenge for his grandpa and keep Annie safe? This story is full of hot simmering chemistry between two people who are hurt and damaged but oh so right for each other!! ❤️❤️

I couldn't put this book down! I think many can relate to Annie and always hope to find a guy like Cole! Another great read by such a great author who knows how to keep you turning the page!
