Dear Revenge: The Dear Letters Series- Book One
Dear Revenge,
I miss you like crazy. When I first met you, things changed for me. I’ve never known love like I have now. You mean the world to me, from your amber-colored eyes to the hard way you love. I want you to know that you mean everything to me. You are the only man I will ever love, the only one who has my heart, soul, body, and mind. Everything you do makes you the perfect human being in my eyes.
Remember this: although my actions have proven differently, I will always love you. You get that, Carson McDermott. I will always be your high school sweetheart, your wife, and the woman who broke your heart.
I’m sorry, bubba.
Just make sure that when you do seek revenge on me, you don’t hold back. I don’t deserve your pity, and I’ll take your punishments as a grown, bold woman.
Do your worst.
Signed,
Katerina DiMaggio-McDermott

This is my first book by this author. I read this book on Kindle Unlimited. This my first review for a long while. Let see if I still have it. :)
This was a very good read, funny, intense and raised issues regarding, when should a mother, if ever choose a man over your own child? For me its a no-contest, I would choose my child every time!! They did not ask to be brought into the world and we need to protect them from men we love, if they plan on harming them in any way, emotionally, physically. I can understand disliking your child especially if they are rude to you but to hate them so much you would hurt them the way that Carson's mother did to him is totally unthinkable to me. There is no justification for what she did. I loved that she got hers in the end. Definitely worth a read. I will definitely be checking book 2 out in this series!

A Lovve Story Like Life
First, Carson's mother. I don't think she suffered enough. Second, Carson should have let Stan finish. Ricardo deserved a lifetime of hurt, pain and agony in a few hours. How could you hurt your child, then subject your grandbaby to the same sick monster? As for Carson and Katerina, their love brought them through. Although they lost their way, in the end it all worked out. Great read.

Good but kinda farfetched
I liked this story but I couldn't give5 stars because oats of the story was unbelievable. Like her parents were so nonchalant about this teenage boy sexing their daughter? It was literally no big deal for them to be in her bedroom with the whole family home. She lost her virginity with the whole family home..he turns out to be a assassin?? He went to the NFL? They went thru A LOT, I just didn't believe it.

This twisted tale rocked
Another fast read for me, but the cast of endearing characters more freak than King Ellie mystical characters. I fell for these gems, the series I know you'll want on your shelf

Revenge is served!!!
This book was such a fantastic read with a lot of twists that I didn't see coming .Bubba and kitty Kat suffered an ordeal that I wouldn't wish on anyone .In a way I understood why Kat left bubba ,to have held all that guilty and to have to face the one person that you loved more than life itself would have been hard for anyone.I'm glad all worked out and that they all are getting the he'll that need .Bubba's mom and step-dad hopefully are enjoying he'll .😁I truly think they got off way to easily.Even tho bubba decided to keep his promise to Kat ,I just was wondering did he give up his other job ?? I really can't wait to see what's next in this series and I thank UniqueWords for suggesting this book .Do yourself a favor and check it out

😳😩😩 God 🙏 I need more of Beau’s story
I rarely leave reviews but the good Lord knows I hope I can do this book justice. Tribe, she took me through so many emotions in the three hours it took me to read this book that I am going to have to call Dr. Lee my damn self.🤯(must read to meet said dr.) She hit on some hard issues mentally, and physically. While encompassing family dynamics even to the extreme that everyone can relate to. I even loved the part of the book had Nashville written into it which is the city I currently reside in.
Well done queen I look forward to reading more of your work💗💗

Loved It!!!
OMG this book was outstanding!!!! It was such a pleasure to read about the Di'Maggio kids. This book brought me to tears at times and joy at others. It pained me to see the hurt Kat and Carson went through when they had such a strong love. Carson went through a traumatic time in his childhood and to know the son that they thought they lost endured the same as him from the same sickos was shattering. I love how Carson and Kat took their time to fix and work out their issues. I'm glad they found Jude and eliminated all parties responsible. I would love to know Beau and Lissett's story and for Papa Jude to find love.💖💖

3.5 stars
Tragedy tore Katerina and Carson apart, but love does find a way to bring soulmates back to each other. That's the main idea behind this book. There was a lot of character development and history of their relationship was to!d as well. Decent love scenes but only 2 1/2 of them throughout the book. I wasn't super into the plot with the revenge part of this and I didn't think the long separation between the couple was realistic either. The plot twist also jumped the shark for me. Still, not a bad read though.

Their journey will bring out a plethora of emotions and take you thru twist and turns you don’t see at all. You will fall in love with Carson as the angry, sexy, southern alpha that he is and love his devotion for Katerina, “ Kitty Kat” DiMaggio. Together they battle their all consuming love and personal demons to the end. You will love this book and read it more than once.

I'm ready for the next release!
Katerina is a gem. Love does prevail. Carlie is a spiteful and demented individual; who would allow Ricardo to come into her home to abuse her son. I really enjoyed their salvation. It was so worth it! One thing you don't do is mess with when it comes to Mr. Jude M. McDermott is his family. The man does not has a conscience. He is not to be played with and that is all I'm saying. This read is very enjoyable. Each page will draw you in.

I didn't think my emotions could be swayed so easily (yes, my birthday cards are often addressed to: "Our Blank Faced Killer"), but this damned booked actually drew a damned tear from me - a salty, clear, cheek streaking eye escapee tattle tail...traitor. Not many can accomplish this. Very few in fact. This, is one of those few. King Ellie, I'm headed to your page to click the hell out of the follow button.

Blinding Love
This intriguing story is about two people who while in high school. Got married, had a child, who was taken away from them. They were devastated with their lost and could not comfort each other. The wife left and was gone for seven years before they met up again. In spite of all they went through, it turned out good for them. In order to find out what happened you have to read the book.

Great Read Suspense Was everywhere
This is my first read from this author I felt after seven years her husband would had at least dated since he was so angry with her. I felt she had it too easy coming back in his life again especially when she left him without a word. Overall kept me turning the pages of the book. Would like to see a sequel of Cross and Beau outcome of their marriage.

incredible book
I know this is a romance book, BUT I learned there’s predator’s stalking our young children in all shapes, sizes, rich or poor. My heart was overwhelmed and hurt for Carson and Jude. What they both endured with the same evil. I can’t imagine how K Ellie wrote this story without shedding tears herself. I would express that you read this book. Will look for more of Ellie’s books 📚

Quite A Surprise
At first I was I beginning to become a bit disgruntled but decided to continue on. Once I began reading Part 2 I couldn't put it down. The story, the characters...oh my goodness, so damn good. I know understand the need for Part 1. Man I would have loved to have seen the @$$-whooping Kat put on Cassie.
Have a box of Puffs tissue on hand, you will need them.

This book was like a breath of fresh air. This book had it all. Delicious alpha male, a sassy female lead, and a second chance at romance. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster. One that I didn't want to get off. It had twists and turns you never saw coming. I'm looking forward to more books by this author.

Lord Have Mercy
This was not what I was expecting. I cried the entire book. I just couldn't believe the story I read. The young love. The lost of it all. All the broken hearts and shattered lives. The rebuild and the revenge. Oh my goodness! Great job! I hope there's a part 2 to Katerina and Carson's story. I just want more of Bubba and Kitty.

Great Book...
Very emotional stiry with a lot of triggers. You do not always get a reason why bad things happened, but there is an explanation in this book, although unjustified. I would be interested reading the other characters' stories.

I'm always anxious when reading new authors work. This story totally blew me away. Very well done and I can not wait to read more. I read about 10 books a week and I hardly ever leave a review, so this is definitely a reward.

Nice!
Carson and Katerina’s story was a perfect love that deserved HEA. It was one twist that they tried to piece their brokenness after the loss of their son only to find another twist in their lives. Great page turner. Hopefully Beau & Lisette will come to life.
