I absolutely DEVOURED this book. I lost sleep over this book. I almost nixed my morning workout to continue reading this book (which is HUGE for me). I think I even dreamt about this book. I was a madwoman possessed as this book was just that captivating.
READ THIS BOOK.
If there is one thing that Sienna excels at – besides bringing us amazing, unforgettable characters, it’s keeping her readers on the edge. Her storytelling is like the ultimate build up, and the ending the best kind of release.
Alena and Dimitri, and this book is no different than her others. They will suck you into their lives, and leave you breathless, waiting to see what happens next. These two characters are so well written, so compelling, you can’t help but love them both for different reasons. The book flows so smoothly, that you will find yourself reading the entire thing in one sitting. I love the plot of their story, and the secondary characters make it all the more enjoyable.
I definitely don’t want to give anything away, so I’ll say this. READ THIS BOOK. If you love a good love story, one that’s filled with angst and heartbreak, but still gives you hope, this is the book for you. Sienna is the queen of emotional roller coasters, and Beautiful Revenge is her latest thrill ride!

Hmm where to start. I think the story had great potential but fell short for me. I’m not sure why exactly.
She’s 15 1/2 in love and with a 19 H she has been living with for a while. Then they are separated 5 years, she’s miserable, maybe abused and he becomes extremely rich somehow in a short time. This is all vague and not really explained. He wants revenge and hurts her badly then they get their HEA.
Just alright.
Sienna Blake has quickly become a one click author for me! Her stories are written so well that once you pick up one of her books, you can’t stop till you are done. They flow without a hitch and have the perfect mix of a great story, twist and turns and a few what the heck moments.
Beautiful Revenge is no exception! I picked this book up and didn’t put it down till I finished devouring the entire book. What a ride this one was!
Alena Ivanova and Dimitri Volkov are young and barely surviving in Russia. The two are barely surviving. Hoping to find a way to a better life. Hoping to someday ‘make it’ in this big big world. But with hunger, with being cold, with having little to no money, people are forced to do things they normally wouldn’t think to do.
I’m a fish on a hook being dragged ever closer to the surface, while I struggle to remain in the murky depths where my heart and my secrets lay like sunken treasures.
Years have past and neither have forgotten about each other. Their love for each other. The hurt they caused each other. The words spoken that can not be taken back. They have so many strikes against each other. But what is hidden deep inside, is the love they still feel for each other.
How can a full belly be satisfying if my soul is left hungry.
What a roller-coaster ride this book was! Once again, Sienna nailed it with this emotional story of Love, Hate, Revenge. Although this is a standalone book, there will be more to come!!!

I found Sienna with Dark Romeo series and was enamoured by her acute insight of heartbreak and yearning. Very adept at painting a picture with her words, her stories leave an indelible mark on my heart.
This story is as ancient and as modern as you’d like it to be
From the Magnificinet city of st.Petersburg to fog laden moors of English countryside, the story journeys from squalor to luxury , love to revenge and promises to bitterness in a sweep .
If there was a theme song for this very ambitious story, it’d be Endless Love
Where do I begin, to tell the story of how crazy love can be
a sweet love story that is older than the sea
Sienna revives the good old tale of hate filled love.
Dimitri Volkov “Wolf” is a lover scorned so bad, he burns like coalfire within. When it subsumes his entire existence, he throws the embers all around him and sets the world on fire . In his goal to exact revenge upon his love & nemesis -Alena Ivanova, he becomes a ruthless wolf whose only mission in life is to hunt and destroy everything and everybody who’s wronged him, shattered him and left him soulless . He’s on a warpath, leaving a trail of destruction behind him.
I was hurting with Dimitri, I couldn’t bear to watch his heart break , time and time again. I wanted to soothe his heart, wipe his tears, and Chase away his sorrow. The story made me cry at his raw pain & anguish
The soul of the story is pretty cynical in its mood . Sienna writes with lot of heart and does whole justice to characterisation. Alena may attract lot of hatred due to her selfish nature, but you have to remember she’s a young girl with hopes of better life, better dreams.
I don’t want to starve anymore. I don’t want to freeze. I want a better life. More than anything. I want it so bad it hurts. I want it so bad I can taste it.
I live in the clouds, that my dreams are held together with wax. It will melt one day and I’ll come crashing down to the earth like Icarus.
She loves Dimitri but frustration seeps in at their state of affairs and in their stubborn pride they go about breaking each other’s hearts . Their environment is the true villain of the story which drives them to desperate measures.
image:
Dimitri is blinded with rage and hatred. He spews venom and wants to destroy the world .the entire plot aims at self realisation on both Alena & Dimi’s part that,
Hate feels like a dagger aimed out, but it is really the poison coating the handle, soaking through your skin and into your blood.
A heartwrenching and Frustrating ride , i wanted to jump in the pages so many times.
The music on their vinyl record player is till echoing in my ears. I’m still dancing with them, I’m also sliding on the floor with them. I’m hurling cuss words and burning with restrained passion with them. And I’m completely, utterly, deeply in love with them .
It’s a must read , fabulous story , very well written, the one that will stay in your heart for days

A sexy second chance romance. Alena and Dimitri were smoking hot together. I love second chance stories. Awesome book!
I received an arc and am voluntarily leaving my review.
This is the first book I have read by this author and it definitely won’t be the last I loved this dark and twisty second chance at love. The chemistry was hot and I loved these two characters they were wonderful.
****I received an ARC copy for an honest review****
I was excited to read this book, I’d been hearing about it and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. I won’t lie, the beginning grabbed me, but had just the slightest bit of too much detail for me (the jumping back and forth was a little confusing, though necessary information). Alena and Dimitri themselves had me hooked right from the start. Dimitri especially, he’s just wonderful.
Then Alena makes a decision that nearly destroys them both, and it can’t be taken back.
Five years later Alena finds herself face to face with her past again, and her hope comes alive. But Dimitri isn’t the same man she left.
The ups and downs, and twists and turns pull you into the world and you can’t put the book down. Outside of the first two chapters, I read the whole book in one sitting because I couldn’t stand to wait to read more until later. I want to go to their village, and see the manor and schoolhouse, meet the people, and so on.
I can’t remember a time I’ve ever read the same book back to back, I always read other books in between rereading my favorite books, but this time there’s a very good chance I’m going to start it over again tomorrow because I already miss Alena, Dimitri, and Emily. It’s definitely one you’re going to be glad you read!
