I loved this collection. It’s wonderfully written and each book has strong storylines. The characters are really well developed and likable. There’s plenty of action, drama, tension, and heat. An amazing collection and I really enjoyed every minute of it.
Betrayal
Wow! What a ride this book took me on. I was hooked from the first page and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough to see what would happen next. Avery is the heiress of Michell Holdings, but she likes the simple things. She is unaware of how her father made his money. Aiden is out to expose her father and make him pay, but Avery gets caught in the middle and he abducts her. This book is dark, twisted, sexy, and absolutely incredible!
Sacrifice
Sacrifice is the second book in the Corrupt Empire series and picks up right where the last book left off. Aiden continues with his revenge, but not all goes as planned. I loved seeing Aiden and Avery working together as a team. There’s so many mysteries and secrets in this book, gah!! This is another mind blowing story in this story and I highly recommend it.
Revenge
This is the final book in the Corrupt Empire series and it was ahmazing! I was on the edge of my seat from the first page. I didn’t think I would have been rooting as much as I was for Aiden and Avery, but rooting I was! Their journey hasn’t been an easy one, but they finally get their HEA. A truly amazing book and series and one I highly recommend.

This entire series is absolutely fabulous! The three-book set is tragically twisted and heartbreaking and is a story of control, revenge, and redemption. If you do not enjoy edgy, intense, suspenseful reads that will possibly nudge your comfort zone then this series is not for you. If you do enjoy a walk on the darker side as well as major emotional turmoil and deeply flawed characters that are ultimately stripped bare and rebuilt with an amazing ending then you will love these stories.
Each of these books are dark thrillers that hold intense undertones and are thrilling, provocative, and edgy. They are also each written in the dual POVs of both Avery and Aiden which makes the stories even better. We get an in-depth look into each of their personalities to understand their thoughts, actions, and the gut-wrenching emotional turmoil they each face throughout each story. Bailey does a remarkable job of showcasing the characters from their lowest, worst moments and remaking them; they have a deeply emotional journey. Each book is more nerve-wracking and exciting than the last and the first two end with major cliffhangers leading into the final installment. You will fight your way through devastation, treachery, secrets, lies, betrayal, danger, sacrifice, hatred, and love before reaching the epic ending of Avery and Aiden’s journey. *Be forewarned, that this series contains trigger elements. It is a gut-wrenching, devastating tale of corruption, murder, child abuse, rape, human trafficking, greed, and torture. It is a dark romance and is not for the faint of heart.
This series is a three-book installment and cannot stand alone. Aiden and Avery’s journey starts in Betrayal, where they meet and Aiden opens Avery’s eyes to the sins of her family and their business, then on to Sacrifice, where Avery’s world shatters around her and Aiden’s well thought out plans for revenge take an unexpected turn, and finally to this last book, Revenge, where everything is revealed and they both have to fight for their very survival. Aiden and Avery have a long road to find their happiness and they have been through so much separately and together. Their journey to the truth is hard, really emotional and full of devastation, loss, despair, pain, and suffering. Their tale is dark and twisted from start to finish but these two broken and damaged souls fight hard to prove to themselves and others that they are deserving and strong and that they matter and they will fight to the end for justice and their happy ending.

Betrayal is a very dark book that begins the Corrupt empire series. I was hooked rigth at the beginning and had a hard time put it down as it was keeping me on edge the entire time. The book have a dual PoV by the two main caracters Aiden and Avery. It was the first book by Sarah Bailey that I was reading and really wasn't dissapointed. Really need to start reading the next book now.
Sacrifice is the second book in the Corrupt Empire and pick up right were betrayal left us. This book is as dark with a lot of twist as the first one. Aiden and Avery try to be together despited all the betrayal and lies that had occured between them. Cant wait to read the last book in this serie, Revenge. Totally recommand this great serie.

Hold on tight for this dark, edgy, well crafted series...
I have read & individually reviewed the three books in this series which is beyond compelling. The conclusion of the series, aptly named "Revenge" continues this epic, raw journey of his Princess & her Fallen Angel. Trust me, Revenge is sweet & this heroic & imperfect couple can finally find redemption. I received an arc of this brilliant box set which I highly recommend.
