She’s used to being the hunter, not the hunted.The power is intoxicating… so is his touch.Carey“Carey,” he said, closing the distance between their mouths. “Forgive me. You’ll never regret it.” Dawson’s lips pressed against hers. His hands moved from the desk to her back and pulled her against him. His tongue demanded entry into her mouth, and she sighed, shivers running through her body. It had … through her body. It had been so long.
But she wasn’t desperate.
She pushed him, forcing him away from her. “I’ll tell you what. You can have your forgiveness if you can actually make me beg for your touch. You’re so confident in your skills, in my attraction to you, in our fated… whatever. Make me beg for it, Dawson. Make those words, ‘I need you,’ leave my mouth, and you are forgiven.”
That would show him. There was no way this arrogant, conceited man would get on his knees and work for his absolution.
But that’s exactly what he did.
You will love this quick, steamy book with an obsessive alpha, a sassy heroine, a little pain, and a lot of lip. This story ends with an HEA, but the mystery will leave you dangling from a cliff!

I enjoyed this story, even as a stand alone, but it is part of a series, this being the third part. It is both a romance between two people and a case that is tying they all up. The Case of the Severed Thumbs.
Carey is on the witness stand trying to give an expert opinion, but it is brought up that she used to work for the DA and left with some questionable reason. As she is badgered on the stand, Dawson, the current DA, is standing at the back of the court. He is the reason she had to leave the DA in the first place. He sent an email with could be construed as evidence that they had an affair or it was just his fantasies about what he would like to do with her. Doesn’t matter, she lost her job. She now works for a private company.
Dawson can’t get Carey off his mind. He didn’t mean to get her fired, but maybe it is the best. Could they really work together and have a relationship too. Now he is hoping that she will forgive him, work with him on the case, and fall in his arms.

This well-written book 3 of 4 sizling books is hot, a clear chase is on, but who will break first. Who will win? These characters are both strong, but she was burned way too much when they were together the last time. The story line is a continuation of the first two books and will conclude in book4? I highly reccommend this book and the series. Must buy this sizzling tale, where begging is a must

This is a quick, well written story about Carey and Dawson finding love again. Carey is testifying as an expert witness in court and the District Attorney Dawson is Carey’s past love. Victim of Revenge is a short story but it’s not short on steam, drama, suspense, mystery and an ending that left me wanting more.
Will he be able to make her say “I want you” or will he be the one to break first
Victim of Revenge continues the story from Victim of Seduction. This time it is Carey Falzon and Dawson . Carey used to work as the Assistant Directory of Lakeside County’s Crime Scene Investigation Unit but three years ago she was forced to leave by the then DA for the county because of emails that Dawson had sent her. She now works for a private consulting company as a forensics expert.
Dawson is now the District Attorney and for the last three years he has only dreamed and wanted Carey. The emails that he had sent her when they worked together were very dirty and only from his imagination. But once they were discovered it meant she had to leave as it put a question over all of their cases together. Now he wants her back and is determined to have her forgive him for what happened.
The thing that brings them back together is the ongoing investigation, off the books, that started with Taylor in Victim of Desire and then progressed with Sloane and Marc in Victim of Seduction. Sloane brings the evidence to Dawson and Carey which has been gathered so far – pictures, the poem, the thumbs and some names of who they belong to and the live video feed of 12 people being held which Sloane has been watching. When Carey and Dawson start looking it over they each find different things and more things break open. But there is also the very big issue between them that needs to be settled. Dawson wants Carey to “beg for me” but she is not so easily broken and it is a battle and tease of the wills between these two. It seems they like the fight and chase which is a form of foreplay for them.
Victim of Revenge is a short story that is fast-paced and packed with a lot of punch. The characters have depth, the continuing story-line is still very interesting and has a great element of suspense and danger and the relationship between Dawson and Carey is a lot of fun as they battle between them. Their dialogue is wonderfully witty and devious that it makes you laugh out lout. This books does need to be read in order of the series and it also ends on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see where the story goes with the next book, Victim of Devotion.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
I completely love this series! So far, each book has two parts. There is a romance component that is stand-alone, and there is the mystery component which started with Victim of Desire (book #1) and apparently will conclude in the next installment (Victim of Devotion – #4).
Dawson & Carey are great characters. The banter and inner dialog was realistic, as was their situation. The turmoil experienced was communicated beautifully, particularly as the nature of their foe and the task before them became more clearly defined.
I feel this is the best of the three do far and can not wait to see what happens in the final book of the series. So far it has not been a long wait between books; hopefully that will continue.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I plan to get the full series for my permanent library when it is completed.
This is the 3rd book in this series. Dawson and carey are old colleagues that still have alot of chemistry. what will happen when they meet again?

Carey’s used to being the hunter, not the hunted. The power is intoxicating, so is his touch. Really enjoyed this one. Loved Carey and Dawson’s characters, personalities, chemistry, and playing games. Ready for the next one.

Unpredictable, torrid and tense
This short novel seems to begin as a slightly dark romance that could pass from hatred to love, but the story evolves very quickly into a criminal investigation. The tension between the characters is very well understood, like the reasons for their rejection or attraction to one another. The evolution of this situation under the pressure of the threats that surround them is well written too.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
Carey has a tough day testifying in court as an expert witness. Dawson views it all, and she’s not happy with him. He’s the reason she lost her last job, and he’s expecting her to forgive him. The police are still trying to solve the mystery of the severed thumbs. They make some progress, and then hit more roadblocks. Carey has a revelation regarding pictures in the file, and Dawson thinks he knows why people are being targeted. I am so hooked on this story – steam, suspense, more steam – all moving us closer to solving the mystery.
