Great romantic suspense read! The author brings strong characters and weaves a captivating story that had me glued to the pages from the first page up to the last one. She does a fantastic job developing the story and brings it to life with vividly painted scenes as well as the drama,action and surprises along the way. I loved this book and am looking forward to the next one. Highly recommend reading.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
THIS BOOK IS AMAZING! I was hooked the first time and again the second time. It never gets old! It’s the perfect mix of mystery, drama, suspense, and romance all wrapped up in one! Kimi is a badass! BUT she’s not your average female badass character. The author created a beautiful character and story in Kimi. I fell in love with her, Lorcan, Carys, and Finn. This was the best mafia story I have ever read. It wasn’t cheesy or corny. It was real. It felt real reading it. The words and story just came alive. You’ll love it! The author definitely knows what she’s doing! The story was thought out and so original. Its twists and turn are not your typical cliche mafia forbidden love story. It felt refreshing to read something different. Just a great story overall and can’t recommend it enough!
I really enjoyed Wendy’s writing, it kept me hooked and the book was just easy to read and sucked you in. I will definetely be reading more of Wendy’s books because I think I’m hooked now.
So I must say for the first time in ages I was annoyed when this book ended. I wanted more. I have so many questions that needed answers and then the book ended and I was just so mad and annoyed. I need more. Although it did amuse me because it’s been a while since a book made me annoyed for finishing. I really hope there is another book after this because I need one. I think there is because on goodreads it says book 1. So I am hoping.

Wendy Million grabbed my attention by the throat and wouldn’t let go with her book Retribution. Her book was like a vicious dog that wouldn’t let go! If you love a good thriller with a little romance, this book is for you. Y’all, I couldn’t put it down. I dreamt about this book for two nights.
It kept me on the edge of my seat. It kept my mind working trying to put all the pieces together. The main character Kim is working undercover for the FBI. She gets in many dangerous situations with the Donaghey brothers. I was in fear for her life and I literally couldn’t turn the pages fast enough!
The cover of the book says Book1. I hope so because this girl can’t wait for book two.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
What an amazingly spectacular debut for this author! Wendy Million has hit a home run with Retribution! For a debut novel, this was executed extremely well. Very impressive for the author’s premiere. It is a notable and fantastic story that had me spellbound from the first chapter. She has undeniably captured the essence of a mafia romance.
Kimi is an undercover agent that has gotten herself into quite a situation when she takes a job involving two antagonistic brothers of the Boston Crime Syndicate. Kimi’s detective skills come in handy when Lorcan Donaghey hires her to be his ‘everything’ girl, but he has an ulterior motive, and that is that he believes his brother Finn killed their father and he wants proof. While searching and exploring possibilities Kim uncovers information that could ultimately get her executed.
Lorcan and Finn Donaghey couldn’t be any more opposite than white and black. Lorcan is the younger of the two, he is the brains, the strategist and Finn is the muscle, the one to fear. Kim must get close to Finn in order to gain his confidence and perhaps some truths, but her attraction to Lorcan may just be the most dangerous of the two.

Neither brother knows her real identity and she is constantly covering up and bringing suspicion to herself. I was on the edge of my seat so many times for fear of her being discovered, for her cover to be blown. Every turn, every situation, Kim was dancing on the edge of danger.
There is a big twist amidst all the cloak and dagger circumstances. This undercover agent is connected to the two crime brothers in a way you will never guess. Be sure to pick up this intense dramatic thriller to find out what that connection is.

I truly enjoy mafia reads and this did not disappoint. There was no grazing over the danger and perilous situations. The author lays it out and presents it to the reader like a buffet. There is murder, loyalty, betrayal, vengeance and passion, everything you need for a good mafia story!

I often feel like it’s a bit of a struggle to accurately describe a book. For this one, there is definitely no way I can do it justice. It’s action packed and full of suspense. The characters are extremely well developed. It’s a realistic scenario full of complex decisions. I couldn’t put it down!
