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.

Good

loved the book so jumped at listening to it. I love Alex as a narrator but not my first choice for solo narration. He's a great narrator but struggles to give a voice to different characters. was still a highly enjoyable listen and I'll probably relisten in the future.

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.

FANTASTIC !! 🌟 🌟 🌟🌟🌟

A captivating enemies to lovers mm romance!
Rich Storytelling with sizzle and Intrigue! Indepth characters with a real life feel and presence. A climatic ending with a very unexpected plot twist !
* Dark and Gritty * Crime family * Violence
* Plot twist * Morally Grey Characters * Steamy !!

Great listen! loved the story

I really enjoyed this book, I loved the characters and the story line, it kept me listening non stop, finished in one day. I love anything that Alex Kydd narrates, if I had to criticize anything about this book, it would be that I wish they did the narration in duet with a second narrator like Teddy Hamilton 😬❤️ Alex did a great job, but there were a few times when I had to rewind to make sure I knew which character was talking, but other than that, it was great!
Can't wait for the second book.

Yes please

Love the relationship these 2 have. Snarky, angry, and then loving! My favorite! I can’t wait for these books next one cause the side characters make you wanna know more about them
