I love a romantic suspense, and adore RC Boldt’s writing style, but even I was surprised by this unique and compelling story. Hell Hath No Fury is a raw, gritty and emotional story full of action, intrigue and violence. I was captivated from start to finish.
Caitlin is a survivor who reinvents herself, her sole purpose is vengeance for those she loved and lost. She’s a complex heroine, strong, resilient and determined in her pursuit of revenge and retribution.
The hero is a mysterious man, who is intense and secretive, yet completely intriguing.
The love scenes this duo shares are hot and steamy and their chemistry is undeniable.
This title will take you through a gamut of emotions from anger, sadness and fear to joy, and happiness. The epilogue was a surprise and I hope that it means we will see more of this duo in a future title.
RC Boldt is one of my favorite authors. Not only is her writing phenomenal, but she’s not afraid to try something different. As she had done with Hell Hath No Fury.
The cover immediately caught my attention, and after reading the blurb, I may have done a fist pump because RC, to me, was going out on a limb with this one. I love her romance stories, but the fact that she was willing to write something a little edgier, a little rougher…I couldn’t wait to dive in. And boy did this one take me by surprise!
The story centers around Caitlin, a bad-ass heroine that will stop at nothing to get back at those who did her wrong, when literally everything was taking away from her. This was a carefully plotted story that was full of intensity, suspense, and violence and it was very well played out. But when RC introduces us to Hunter, you know there’s going to be some sparks flying off the pages. With their own harrowing stories, you can’t help but love the chemistry and passion that exists between them.
If I’m being honest, there wasn’t a single thing about this story that I didn’t absolutely love. I like it when a heroine is put to the test, and Boldt did that with Caitlin’s character. Caitline’s endurance was what made her a true hero.
For anyone who’s never read this author, Hell Hath No Fury will be at the top of my list of recommendations. It’s that good! RC Boldt, you’ve made me one happy girl with this story. Well done, madam!
I loved it! It’s a great book, as always, filled with lots of emotion, wonderful characters and plenty of action. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is a new to me author and one I’m so excited to try. From the cover and blurb alone I was itching to read, then I read the prologue and I was HOOKED!
So much happens even within the first few chapters that your head will be spinning and you’ll be unable to look away. I can already tell that this will be a short review as a) I’m too invested to stop and think, & b) anything I do want to say will ruin the journey that everyone should experience first hand.
This book isn’t a pretty love story. It’s raw, dark, gritty and full of vengeance. The heroine will leave females around the world full of awe and hopefully have them inspired to be stronger. I could say a lot more about it, but again don’t want to ruin the story.
This is definitely a must read and I’ll be checking out more books from this author in the future that’s for sure.
Hell Hath No Fury, is a light dark, revenge story. It’s a well written, fast paced story. However, I felt it lacked…something. It was very straightforward, not a big mystery.
“Live a great story. Life’s too short to give up before The End.”
The woman is a badass lady with bow and arrow and other killer skills. She’s on a path of revenge, when she encounter the Hunter. A contract killer, hired to find her. Will she get her revenge?
I didn’t feel the emotional connection between the two MC’s, and it felt a bit forced at times.
“If I’ve learned anything from all of this, it’s that life is too short to have regrets. To not say what you mean. To not share how you truly feel about someone.”

What do you do when you lose everything you love in a split second? Do you crumble to the ground, never to get up again or do you do everything in your power to get yours and your family’s revenge? The heroine in this book is firmly on the revenge side and I was definitely there with her.
I’m keeping this review fairly vague and with no names and you’ll see why when you read this book. The heroine is fantastic. She’s strong but she’s been broken. She’s learnt what she needs to learn to get her job done and she’s made peace with what and who she’s become. Nobody would suspect her and that just makes it even sweeter for her when she starts picking people off one by one. She’s not expecting to meet someone. She knows it can’t go anywhere, she can never tell him the truth but it seems like she’s not the only one keeping some pretty big secrets.
This book sucked me in. I clicked with the female character from the start and there were plenty of twists to keep me on my toes.
I love, love, love this cover.
After I read the last page of the book I put it aside and instantly thought there is no way I can write a review that will do this read justice. This is a romantic suspense that you want to go in blind. Ms. Boldt writes great reads and characters but she pushed herself with this one. With characters that you will love and many that you will loath it keeps you guessing.
This is an intense, fury filled, hate induced, heart breaking, and hating read. It will leave your head reeling. So why should you read it……….. It is EPIC. This will definitely be on my top 5 read list, not just for this year but forever.
Did I say it is an EPIC, must read.
I was blown away by this fantastic story and this talented author has outdone herself by penning this tale! Caitlyn lost everyone she loved and a huge part of her died that fateful day as well. Now she is on a mission of revenge and to bring justice against the Dixie Mafia and is determined that nothing will stand in her way. The Hunter is an assassin who is tasked to find and eliminate the person responsible for recent killings. No spoilers: this is a definite must read. This is a well written flawless story which is filled with emotion, angst, twists, suspense, betrayal, loss, revenge, heartbreak, and passion, which all had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I highly recommend for all.
Holy crap on a cracker! I was left feeling emotionally wrecked after reading Hell Hath No Fury, a suspenseful and heartbreaking romance. It features two main characters that unexpectedly run into each other while looking to avenge the heinous crimes that irrevocably changed their lives and left deep scars. They won’t stop until those responsible pay, in blood. Nothing else will do.
This story pulls all the stops, going from 0 to 60 in the first heartbreaking chapters and taking us on one heck of a ride, filled with jaw-dropping twists and turns! The action is incredibly fast paced; I found it difficult to put it down to do something as mundane as eat or sleep. I can’t remember when an epilogue made me cry so much, it made me so incredibly happy, it was the perfect ending! Told in dual POV, and going back and forth from the past to the present, their perspective gives you a deep sense of foreboding.
“I guess it’s just one of those miracles about life and love. The way a heart can heal when you can’t imagine it’s possible.”
Years ago Caitlin Ashford’s life was so very different than the one she was living now. After graduating with a degree in computer science Cait decided to help her father with their family business, Bullard’s Gun & Pawn, after the sudden death of her mother. She met and married Deacon, her father’s trusted employee, and they had a six year old daughter, Willow. Cait and Deacon had drifted apart but she was reluctant to suggest a divorce, she didn’t want Willow to grow up in a broken home.
Caitlin was aware of the threat her father had received from the feared and savage Dixie Mafia after he refused to let them use his shop for their criminal activities. He instilled in her to be aware of her surroundings, unfortunately it was too late for him to heed his own advice.
After surviving the attack that claimed the lives of her loved ones, Cait left everything and everyone behind and went into hiding, vowing to return and find those responsible. Even if it was the last thing she ever did. Seven years later she’s back, looking for revenge, slowly stalking her prey and making sure the Dixie Mafia goes on high alert.
“Live a great story. Life’s too short to give up before THE END.”
The Hunter lives in the shadows, no one knows who he is, and his reputation as the best contract killer is well earned. When he’s contacted by members of the Dixie Mafia, concerned that someone is moving in on their turf and eliminating key members, Hunter takes the case. He has a vested interest in this particular syndicate that no one is aware of.
“Their confidence can also be their greatest weakness. That is when you strike.”
When Cait and Hunter run into each other, unaware of who they really are, they can’t avoid the attraction. It’s been too many years of living a lonely existence, not trusting anyone, and these two decide to take a risk. Neither one of them expected the outcome. And this is where the story takes off like gangbusters. This story includes an amazing cast of secondary characters; some very nasty and nefarious ones, a ferocious loyal Pitbull, and others that are simply wonderful. Wow, wow, WOW!
“You’re in the shadows, and I just…I just wish you’d walk with me in the sun.”
When RC Boldt says that this book is like nothing she’s ever written, you should believe her! And then you should pick up a copy of it ASAP! Holy thriller, Batman…I was quite literally stunned speechless by the climax of this book. I truly did NOT see that twist coming.
RC Boldt really outdid herself with this romantic suspense book. I’ve always enjoyed her books. But I freaking LOVED this one. It was heartbreaking. Gritty. Raw. Passionate. And challenged my senses of right and wrong, justice and revenge, and damnation and redemption. So many gray areas that really challenged me to look and think outside the box. Heck…I don’t think this one ever jumped IN the box. If I were to give this book a tagline, it would be Revenge, sweet revenge…coming home never felt so badass. Okay. That’s a bit cheesy, but I challenge you to read the book and do me one better. Mmkay?
NICUnurse’s Rating: First of all, I’m not sure I’ve ever loved a book wrap (front and back covers) so much in my life. And after reading the story, it just friggin’ fits so perfectly. If you’re a Hunger Games fan that is let’s say, a bit more mature, you’re going to love this Kat. It’s easy to understand her motivation and her why. What truly broke my heart (for a second time in this story) was Hunter’s why. You think you know him. You think you know why he does what he does. Only to find out, you really don’t. And together, they are proof that two people who think they are broken beyond repair can really heal and be amazing together in their own way. If you’re looking for a rom-com or a light-hearted romance, this book is not for you. But if you’re a sucker for a romantic suspense in which the main characters will constantly challenge you and your views, you need this book in your life and you need it today!
I give Hell Hath No Fury by RC Boldt 5 out of 5 stars!
What a title and what a story! Hell hath no fury indeed!
This story is about unspeakable loss, unspeakable betrayal and like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Caitlin becomes her own hero and strives for vengeance for her family.
This story is filled with mystery and intrigue, it has a kick-a$$ heroine and a dark and dreamy hero.
Come into the world with shades of gray, no black and white and the truth behind what’s write and what’s wrong.
The journey that Caitlin takes after such devastation is nothing short of a miracle. She is strong, she is fierce and she feels like she has nothing left to lose. She is single-minded in her search for vengeance, and you are going to root and cheer her on like I did.
Hunter is a true enigma, you don’t know much about him until he meets his true match with Her. He too has had some horrible things happen to him, which in turn made him into the man he is today. He is a dark and deadly force that you don’t want to come after you.
As always, Ms. Boldt delivers a fresh story with intriguing characters and tons of action, suspense and heat! Well done!
A woman on a mission for revenge is different from what RC Boldt usually writes and I’m so glad she did because Hell Hath No Fury is spectacular!! As soon as I read the blurb, I was immediately intrigued and once I began reading this book, I was completely immersed in it.
Hell Hath No Fury is deeply intense, thrilling, action packed and emotional. I’m still in awe and amazed at Caitlin’s bravery and courage. She is a major bad ass and warrior who possessed incredible strength. This woman literally lost her entire family and now she’s fueled by rage and fury which enables her to carry out her act of vengeance against the Dixie Mafia. During her quest, she meets the mysterious Hunter who’s a bad ass in his own right and is on a mission of his own. These two fit together like two pieces of a puzzle that ignite a hot and passionate affair while fighting side by side. Neither one of them were looking to fall in love and they definitely slayed each other’s heart.
This is a well written book with a perfectly executed storyline and an amazing hero and heroine. And there are some scenes that had my heart racing especially the unexpected and shocking plot twist. I was beyond stunned! Hell Hath No Fury is definitely one of my top favorite books of 2020.
Let me start by saying I love everything this author has written. She is one of my go to authors. This book is totally different from anything she’s written and it BLEW ME AWAY!!!!! This needs way more then five stars! The heroine, Caitlyn, is bada$$!!!! And I love that!!!! I want to be her! And the hero, wowza!!!! I’m still fanning myself! This story takes you on a rollercoaster ride with twists and turns, gets your blood pumping, your heart pounding, gasping for air (because at some points I didn’t realize I was holding my breath), adrenaline flowing and oh my gosh, you feel all the feels! This story has pure heartbreak, anger, hate, suspense, lust and still has one heck of a love story! And did you see that cover?!! This will be sitting pretty on my shelf! An absolute top read for me!!!
What a fabulous read! This book starts as it means to go on, with an intensity, tension and the sense of impending change wrought by adversity. RC Boldt has created a character in Caitlin (in all her guises) whose strength, courage and huge, hurting heart drives the narrative unrelentingly. Using chapter names that change to reflect the content/POV, further adds to the incentive, compelling storylines. The. Hunter is pure gold as a character, adding to the sense of jeopardy. My heart rate was definitely challenged at times, just as it was also moved.
I heartily recommend this book as an immediate buy and suggest setting time aside as you will not want to put it down!
****2020 Top Read!! Do Not Miss This One****
Emotionally Riveting – R.C. Boldt has given me one of my all time, top ten reads and definitely one of my most beloved stories from her.
Seven years ago she lost everything. Her life and family were ripped from her by the devil himself right before her very eyes. What they didn’t count on was her strength, her will to live and her unrelenting need for revenge. What she didn’t count on was the stranger she meets one night in a bar who just may change everything or is he “sleeping with the enemy”? In her world, no one can be trusted and you must always be aware of your surroundings.
I will warn you, this story is not for the faint of heart. You will have your soul ripped from your chest but you will find your own strength as well and join the fight, right along her side!

R.C. Boldt tried something new and nailed it. Hell Hath No Fury is darker than her usual books. It’s an invigorating read. It calls to all the darkest parts inside the reader. A siren song allowing R.C. to direct you (and your darkness) down a path of righteousness.
Don’t read it just to read it. Read it purge. Read it for the adventure. Read it for the catharsis of revenge. Read it for the chance of a lifetime to fall in love.
Hell Hath No Fury is satisfaction guaranteed. Just always be aware of your surroundings.
***5 ‘The End’ Stars***
This book…
I went into this book expecting one thing…and I got it, absolutely, no questions asked, got it, but I got soooo much more that I’ve actually told a friend that she will love this book ~ I don’t make that kind of statement EVER. Even when I freakin’ adore a book, I NEVER make that statement when I’m recommending a book to another reading friend ~ I tend to do the “I think…” thing. But this book…this book simply gave me EVERYTHING all the crazy pieces of my reading loving heart could have ever wanted.
Now, for Him and Her…yup, no names and you’ll totally understand when you pick this book up…but they both had my heart and head all kinds of twisted up and simply adoring them. They were both so complex and intriguing that I got caught up in them and needed to see how everything played out.
Now, I know that this is an extremely vague review, but to say any more than I already have about this book isn’t something I can do because you, the reader, need to go into it with knowing only what the description tells you. The twists and turns were executed very well and there were a few I definitely didn’t see coming, but made absolute sense once they were unraveled. And the characters…all of the characters in this book were very well written and truly gave this book life, and there are a couple that I would love to see get their own stories at some point in the future, so crossing my toes for that to happen.
Note: While I wouldn’t label this a dark romance, it is definitely a romantic suspense, there are elements that may be hard to stomach for some readers, so prepare yourselves for a wild ride!

This is my first book by this author. I was very intrigued by the cover and blurb. I have to say I was NOT disappointed. This heroine does NOT PLAY! I was getting some serious MINDF*€K vibes. I LOVE a story with a strong female lead. This was super hot. This may be the most damaged hero I’ve read. I just LOVE Hunter. Anti-heroes are kind of my thing. The bow and arrow weapon use had me feeling Katniss vibes. I was VIBING! I enjoyed the twist. I loved the secondary characters like Doc and Kujo. I love when an animal is a part of the story. I really like this authors writing style. She gave us EVERYTHING in the Epilogues. I really enjoyed the story. I highly recommend this book.
4.5 bad ass stars!!
This story is one of pain and vengeance. Finding a bright light when you are in the middle of the abyss.
As soon as I read the blurb I was hooked. I think the beg on the book threw me a little. It was missing some emotion. I think if everything I love was taken away I would be destroyed, unable to function. BUT I will say Caitlyn is a bad bitch. So maybe she just handles it all different. After the first couple chapters I was hooked. I mean I did nothing but read.
I am always down with revenge against scum and what better way then the woman who lost it all kicking ass!! I loved the characters in this book.
The author drew me in. She painted this picture I couldn’t unsee if I wanted. There is a few places where it seems to easy but I honestly did mind much. A few people said the end was not good or whatever. I loved the end. Rarely do you get a glimpse of that and I def wanted it.
How can I forget about Mr Bad Ass himself, Hunter. Man I knew from the very first meeting I was gonna have the hots for him!! He is everything I love for in a book hottie! The sexual chemistry between the two was off the chain!!
This is a great read!! Be prepared there are some triggers and tragic moments.
**I received this book as an ARC and in return gave my honest review**
