Book Review | Vengeful – sara reads romance

A dark, slow-burn why choose romance full of crime, loyalty, and four men I never stopped wanting.

The first love.
The jealous protector.
The watchful strategist.
The dangerous enforcer.

The Calloway brothers run Hollow Beach from the shadows—jobs, deals, and secrets stitched into every block of sand and asphalt. I didn’t come back to work with them. I came back to survive.

But survival has a price.

Now we’re stealing together. Planning together. Circling each other in close quarters where history and desire blur into something volatile. They don’t trust me, and I don’t trust myself around them.

Because these men know my past. And if I’m not careful, they’ll claim my future too. The only problem?

In Hollow Beach, loyalty is everything.
And choosing just one of them was never going to be an option.

My review:

I received this eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Well.. this one really took me by surprise. How are you just going to end it like that!? 😅😅

This book was so much fun to read. I went in with absolutely no expectations whatsoever and I was not disappointed.

Why Choose is one of my favorite tropes and Penelope Black always does such a great job writing them. Bellamy Hale, Gage Calloway, Rafe Calloway, Cruz Calloway, and Bishop Calloway are all so unique, and I loved every single one of them. Not only is the dynamic that each brother has with one another fantastic, but the dynamic that they each have with Bellamy is just perfect. They each have their own little quirks and I loved getting to know each of these characters. There’s so much tension, excitement, suspense, not only because of the four brothers, but also because of the heist aspect. I can’t wait for book 2, because that ending was nuts!
