Bittersweet Revenge

Sins of the Father, Book 1

By: Riley Hart

Narrated by: Alex Kydd

Dean
I’ve been stalking Tiernan O’Shea online for years.

After Sloan O’Shea killed my dad, my mom and I spent years in hiding, moving from state to state, changing our names, never drawing attention to ourselves, hoping to never be found.

I’ve fed off nothing but vengeance ever since.

Tiernan O’Shea is exactly like his father—arrogant, rich, ruthless.

The plan is simple: Get accepted to Ashford U. Get close to Tiernan. Get him to trust me. And then, when he brings me home to his father, I’ll take my revenge on Sloan O’Shea.

What I don’t expect is discovering the secret side of Tiernan, the parts he doesn’t show the rest of the world. He’s as beautiful as he is brutal—deadly, yes, but he’s also the kind of man who would do anything for those he loves. We’re alike in ways I never imagined. And when he touches me, kisses me…it makes me feel like I matter.

I’ve spent my whole life hoping to even the score, but now my revenge will be bittersweet because it’ll make me lose the only man I’ve ever loved.

Content Warning: Bittersweet Revenge contains violence, darker themes, and morally gray characters with no redemption arc. This is still a Riley Hart romance though, so you can expect a happily ever after for our guys. Please use the look inside feature for a more detailed content warning.

Wow! I picked up this audiobook during an Audible sale on a whim and it was so good!

The chemistry between Dean and Tiernan was dialed up to 100 from their first meeting. OMG. I finished this audiobook in less than 12 hours, and that was only because I had to sleep.

Alex Kidd was KILLER (no pun intended) in this! This was an amazing example of solo narration done right!

I’m jumping into book 2 right now!

TLDR: Revenge plot romance with so much chemistry between the leads! 🫠🫠🫠

Excellent Plot and Characters

Wow! I wasn’t sure I would like this when I read the summary. However, the story was outstanding. Great main characters. The plot draws you in and has a very satisfying ending.

Awesome!

Absolutely loved this! Had the signature touches and feels that I love about Riley Harts writing but with an edge of danger and some morally off characters that you still couldn't help to love. Highly recommend the audio of this one, Alex Kydd's voice is smoking hot and he narrated these characters just perfectly for the story.

Love the “little lord”

I loved the distorted HEA that came from this found family which obviously HAD to form from this kind of “family” dynamic.An oppressive overlord who was so paranoid he’d kill any perceived threat is no way for his business to have continued to thrive and in the end that’s what always brings them down.
