Scarred by her past, Kerri frequents an elite sex club to experience the intimacy she craves — and when she comes face-to-face with dangerously sexy Trouble, their explosive chemistry will turn her world upside down… pay your father back. To avenge my sister. Her death. Her life.
But it turned into something else.
An obsession.
An addiction.
Dangerous. Unwanted. But, maybe, inevitable.
And so here we are.
I’m sorry, Kerri… I didn’t want this.
I didn’t want to shatter you.
But you should know…
You make me weak.

Pretty cool, i need trouble in my life… Lol.
“A part of Trouble is broken too, just like me. Like twin flames dancing to the same song of sorrow.”
Did you see that cover? IKR? I was just minding my own business when it jumped out at me and I was struck with #CoverLust and had to read the synopsis. I was too intrigued to pass it up and decided to give this new-to-me author a try.
Trouble is exactly the type of alpha caveman character that does it for me. He’s broken and beautiful. Bossy and badass. Sweet (behind closed doors) and sexy. He’s determined and delicious. He pursued her for revenge. He planned to use her, to break her. But she turned the tables on him without even knowing who he was or what he intended to do.
She committed the ultimate sin. She made him want her. She made him lose focus, stealing his attention and blurring the future he’d spent years envisioning. She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s gonna end up forcing him to choose. Because if he ruins her, he’ll be taking himself out with her.
I devoured this story. I read it cover-to-cover and refused to sleep until I turned the last page. It was kept my attention and had me excited and nervous for the characters as I waited for everything to blow up in their faces once all the secrets were revealed. Their connection was immediate and intense and I hoped that it was enough to overcome the devastation I knew was headed their way. I felt their passion and pain every step of the way and was totally invested. In case you can’t tell, I’ll spell it out for you. I LOVED IT!
Kerri is a confident female in almost every aspect of her life except intimacy. As past trauma has made sure of that.
She frequents a secret industry sex club to experience the intimacies, reactions and acts she can only dream about. She loves to play a cat and mouse games with the patrons knowing she is in control.
But, there is one man that will turn the tables. She will become the prey to his hunter. Trouble is coming her way and he is looking for revenge.
Can she trust the happiness and fulfillment she finds with Trouble? Will Trouble ever see Kerri as more than a means to an end?
I loved this book! It has the perfect balance of passion and emotional moments.
The sensuality right from the beginning is enough to get you heart pounding and the chemistry is off the charts.
I believe the revenge aspect could have played a bigger part in their story because, as it stands, it takes second seat to the fact that it’s a secret.
I also feel like Kerry’s trauma was not resolved enough. There was no closure for me. There was nothing at the end to indicate she has moved on from this trauma or what happened to the guilty party.
I definitely recommend this as one-click material.
I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This is my first read from this author, and holy it definitely won’t be the last at all. She sucked me right in at the first chapter. This book kept me intrigued the whole way thru, I needed to know how this ended. Kerri and Ian were such an intense couple. What started out as revenge turned into so much more. This is not your typical love story, this one had a wicked twist to it
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel, for me, it was an introduction to the work of Colet Abedi! Trust that this is not going to be the last book of hers I will be reading.
The story was well written, the characters are likeable and relatable. The storyline was very believable.
Trouble has sent his eyes on Kerri as part of his revenge act for things which happened in his past. As much as I am not one for revenge in this way, I totally understood Trouble’s way of thinking.
However, when he finally sees Kerri in person the chemistry that they have is off the charts and he has to rethink his plans. Kerri feels this same chemistry but is working through her own personal issues.
Can these two enemies/strangers overcome their many differences and see whether this chemistry can lead to love?

Love, love this author. Everything she writes is wonderful!
This was a great book, it has been a few reads where I didn’t want to put the book down. This is one of those books. Thanks for the great read!
The story of Ian and Kerri was intense, the dark twisted and off the charts chemistry had me reading it page after page. The steam in the story is amazing, I really enjoyed reading it and loved that Kerri was a confident strong heroine that had to overcome her past. This is my first book by Colet Abedi and I hope to read more of her.
This is the first book of Colet’s that I’ve read and I really, really liked it!!! I just love bad boys who find out they have a heart and can feel. This bad boy wasn’t any different. Ian/Trouble is your typical bad boy but who also has revenge on his mind. And the weapon of choice…Kerri. However, Kerri was not what he had expected. She was the complete opposite. The way she made Ian feel was very puzzling to him. After getting to know her, he knew he couldn’t use her the way he had expected. His best friend, Trevor, figured it out and warned him that he was playing with Fire. That this wasn’t going to end well. Kerri was oblivious to what really was going on. She was so happy! Will Ian get his revenge and will Kerri get her fairly tale? Hurry up and grab this book to find out! Oh, and some tissues too. (You’re going to need them). So, so good! Can’t wait to read another of Colet’s books.
3.5 stars
When Trouble comes for Kerri, she lets him in and gives him the power to destroy her. She doesn’t know he’s been obsessed with her, obsessed with his need for revenge for so long. And she doesn’t know she’s the key to that revenge. Will he actually follow through with his plan is the question, though.
Ultimately, I can say I enjoyed this story. It’s beyond sexy, it’s intense and really entertaining reading. I never found myself liking Trouble, though. He’s a serious asshole, what happened with his sister doesn’t excuse his asshole personality, but I like Kerri and the story itself.
Wow! Trouble was my first time reading Colet Abedi and it definitely won’t be the last! I devoured it from front to back. I felt all of the emotions in this book ranging from the need for revenge to heartbreak. I shed a tear or two. I loved watching Ian and Kerrie characters grow, both separately and together. They have such great chemistry, you can’t help but route for them!
Ian has got himself into a bit of Trouble. What starts out as revenge for his sister, turns into something Ian never thought would happen. Least of all with her. What happens when she find out the truth? You will have to read it to find out

This is the first book I have read by the author and it will not be the last. It is a dark read filled with secrets. Ian, aka Trouble, is a man with one thing on his mind….REVENGE. How is he going to get what he seeks? By using Kerri to get to her father. However, sometimes one does not get what one comes for as the object of the obsession is the complete opposite of one’s thoughts. The more Ian gets to know Kerri, the more he realizes he is unable to use her as he develops feelings for her. All Kerri is looking for is her happily ever after but is Ian the man to give it to her or will she wind up with a broken heart? A storyline fraught with drama, steam and twists; this is one book to one click and add to your shelf so you can read this story for yourself as it is that good! I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
This was a great read, I enjoyed the story of Trouble, and Kerri, they kept me captivated the whole way through. This book is intense, and the characters are well developed, and have explosive chemistry. This was emotional, raw passionate, gripping, steamy, dramatic, intense, and twisted, This is a must read!
Miss Abedi came back with trouble and sexyness wrapped up in one character! Ian aka trouble was simply perfection and Kerri complemented him perfectly, these two lit up a fire on my kindle and they continue it throughout the entire story! I need my next Colet Abedi book tomorrow!
Trouble by Colet Abedi is the story of Ian ‘Trouble’ Sutherland and Kerri Harrington.
Ian set out to get revenge for his sister’s death. The path Ian chose was Kerri who is the daughter of the man he wants revenge on. But what he didn’t count on was that she was who she is that made him feel something more. This was a page turner read for me. I really enjoyed their story.
