    About this audiobook

    I romanced her for revenge . . . but what if she's not the enemy after all?

    I'm Clint Holmes. I was an ambitious guy with a busy life and a growing business. Sure, North Dakota wasn't a tropical paradise, but I was happy enough-until tragedy struck. Now the only thing that matters is finding the person responsible and making her pay. But Bethany Banks is a Harvard-educated shark used to swallowing her enemies whole while playing dangerous corporate games. How can a blue-collar oil man like me possibly beat her?

    The moment I lay eyes on my beautiful nemesis, the answer is obvious. I seduce her.

    On Maui, where she's fled, I get to know the man-eater who caused my family so much pain . . . only to find she's not the brazen ballbuster I assumed. She's skittish, secretive, vulnerable. For some reason, my instinct is to protect her. I can't abandon my plan . . . but I can't stop wanting her. Night after night, I pry her open with my touch until I'm drowning in our passion. Soon, I'm questioning everything, especially the fine line between love and hate. But when the past comes back to wreak vengeance and the truth explodes, can I prove that I'm more than tempted to love her forever?

    Contains mature themes.

      Its just so bad. SO BAD. But also, it is hilariously bad. There were times I actually had to stop listening for just a few minutes because the hilerrible was too much to take. I needed to rebuild my resistance. Why did I keep going? I think I was enjoying the "oh no, it can't get worse, noooo it did!" So by this measure I gave it two stars for bringing some fun.The story (and I use that word loosely) is that Clint has left home to earn his own fortune despite being from a super rich family in LA. He drops out of school and goes to the oil fields in North Dakota, There, of course, this college dropout without connections or relevant experience, but with a can-do attitude and great bone structure, becomes an instant multi-millionaire. (And is still making money and has a business to sell in 2019 two years after everyone else has lost their shirts in the Bakken, but apparently Shelley Bradley/Shayla Black does not read the newspaper.) When a Madoff-like hedge-fund guy fleeces Clint's father and brings on his demise Clint leaves the square states to return to SoCal, stabilize his younger brothers, and seek revenge. Fake-Madoff has absconded, and so his target is Fake-Madoff the Younger, a beautiful genius named Bethany whom he believes was the siren who drew his father to his fate. Somehow this ends up being a situation where the revenge includes him jetting off to Hawaii, having a lot of great sex with Bethany, deciding he is in love with her, losing her, and trying to reclaim her. Other things happen too, including random time in a birthing suite with Bethany's sister-in-law, a woman Clint has met once. I am fascinated by the arrogance of a person who thinks once they have sex with the master their partner will be destroyed by the loss of access to sex with him/her/them. Has Clint, with his 24 years of life experience, so roughly say 7 years of casual sexual activity, developed erotic skills so sharp that his penis and core strength can ruin lives? That is one magic penis, Clint. If he is looking for business ventures he should be thinking about that penis instead of freezing his ass off and rubbing elbows with off-the-grid itinerants in Mandan.Looking for an A+ hate read? Shayla has got you covered.
