I think that this be the 1st book that I have read by Bella Jewel, but it certainly will NOT be the last.
This book held my attention from page 1, and I am so happy that I decided to give it the try, even though I wasn’t 100% sure what it was going to be about, because the blurb is somewhat vague.
In the end, I ended up being addicted to this story, and I think that if you give this story a chance, it will have you addicted as well!
This for That starts off in a flashback to the past, to where the main female character, Callie, at the age of 16, is out with her friends on a joy ride, shortly after stealing her mothers brand new car. They are all having a great time, and Callie’s 3 friends, Jo, Jessika, and Sophie, have been drinking. They have the alcohol in the car, and are continuing to party while Callie drives. Suddenly one of the friends accidentally spills their drink, and in a panic of spilling on her mother’s brand new vehicle, and possibly staining the carpet, everyone in the car scrambles to try and get the drink before it destroys the carpet, and during the struggle, Callie takes her eyes off the road for a split second…&only within that second and the moment it takes for her to look back at the road, something happens that alter’s everyone involved’s lives forever.
Then, we jump to the present, which is now 6 years since the accident, and you will see Callie still trying adjust to life after the accident. She moves in with her best friend Jo, who also was in the accident as well, she also ends up meeting a great guy that she is falling for pretty quickly, named Tanner, and finds a great job at a cafe where she slowly but surely becomes great friends with her boss . But, whilst all this good is going on, there is someone from her past who is intent on causing her misery. & As it turns out, nothing is as it seems.
Bella Jewel weaves an incredible story full of twists and turns, and things that you would never ever expect! I was quickly ensnared in this addictive story, needing to know what happens next.
I definitely say that This or That well deserves the 5 star rating I have given it, and I think that if you love a great mystery/suspense story, with lovable character’s, an traumatic back story, and also enjoy being caught completely off guard with something you were absolutely not expecting, then I recommend grabbing This or That ASAP.
Bella Jewel did such a fab job with this part of Callie’s story, and I already know that book 2 is going to be just as amazing, if not even more!

OMG!! How could it end like that?? I need the next book NOW!!
This For That : The Edge Of Retaliation was an AMAZING story!! I was absolutely hooked right from the beginning. And let me tell you it didn’t let me go until the very end. And even then I’m still hanging on!! This book is going to be on my mind until I get the rest of the story!!
As you can guess this book ends on a cliffhanger and it was BRUTAL!!! If you aren’t a fan of cliffy’s then you will want to wait for the next book to release before starting this story. But take my word for it…you will WANT to read this book.
I haven’t read many books by Bella Jewel but I can definitely say I have loved every book I have read of hers. I need to go back and read the rest!! If you love a great romantic suspense story this is one of the best I have ever read!! It kept me intrigued all the way through. I can’t wait to see how this story ends!!
That’s pretty much all I am going to say about the storyline. This is a story you will want to uncover for yourself. It is NOT a standalone novel. This is book 1 in this new series. It is told solely from Callie’s POV. I truly hope we get some other POVs in the next book. I would love to know what some of the other characters are thinking.
I loved ALL the characters we meet in this story. The secondary characters are just as important as the Hero and heroine. If you love strong female characters then you will want to meet Callie and her best friend Joanne.
I would 100% recommend this book to all Bella Jewel fans and anyone who loves a GREAT romantic suspense book!!!
Okay in one word to describe Bella Jewel’s latest is WOW. There is so much in this book that even now that I have finished I am still asking questions. This is the first part and it is told in Callie’s view letting us see what she had endured the last six years and how she is adjusting to life again. Bella Jewel shows us how mean girls can be and there is still someone out there who will not let Callie live her life. Threats are more rapid and someone is determined to make Callie suffer again. Bella Jewel, definitely had me on the edge of my seat waiting for the villain but leave us hanging for the second part. This first part will make you wonder who is for and against Callie in her story. Cannot wait for the next release and boy the ending in the book totally unexpected is all I have to say.
“I received an eBook copy from the publisher for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own.”
This For That is book 1 in The Edge of Retaliation series by Bella Jewell. This is an amazing romantic suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat. You can’t help but feel for Callie. One moment, one mistake and it can change not only your life but also many lives. I love this author and she does not disappoint with this book. I cannot wait for the next one! I need answers!!!! I highly recommend this book.
This book is the first book in a new series. I enjoyed reading about all the characters. It was a page turner and it had me hooked from the first page. This story had lots of twists and turns it was very well written.
Wow! This book blew me away! Callie made one mistake in her young life that shaped her entire future. Then she met Ethan a man who was her protector and someone she felt was like her brother and family. When she is finally free again she meets Tanner and she gets entangled in his life as another threatens to make her pay for her past. Wow this book rocked me! The twists and turns were unexpected and left me in shock. I loved this story so much and I can’t wait for more of Callie’s story and what happens next. I highly recommend this book and this author.
This is the first book in a new series and what a book it is. I struggled to put this book down, the story had me completely hooked. This is going to be a short, vague review because this book needs to be read without spoilers.
Callie made a mistake. We’ve all made them but Callie’s mistake ends up changing her life forever. I loved Callie. She’s paid for her mistake and genuinely wants to make things right even though someone seems determined to stop her. She’s ready to move on and make up for the years she lost and make a life for herself. With her two best friends, a new man and a job it seems like Callie’s life is looking up…and this is where the twists start coming. Honestly I went back and forth over who I could trust, wondering what was going to happen next and then I got to the ending and was left hanging! I can’t wait for the conclusion of Callie’s story. I’ve no idea what’s going to happen next.
