Badass Bloggettes: ***REVIEW*** HUSH HUSH by Annelise Vandell

Something terrible happened to April Morrison when she was eleven years old. When she returns home to New Orleans fourteen years later as “Sophia,” she has only one word on her mind: revenge. She’s got her eye on Charles and Barbara Hawthorne, the crowning jewel of New Orleans’ elite and the ones responsible for turning her life upside down.

Enter Liam Hawthorne, the couple’s successful, strikingly handsome, and irresistibly dominant thirty-two year old son. When Liam makes a provocative proposal, it occurs to April that he may be just the “in” she needs. But what she doesn’t bargain for is Liam’s insatiable—and thrilling—sexual appetite. And as Liam begins to test April’s limits, she realizes that appearances are not what they seem.

This book is intended for mature audiences.

This book includes an exclusive excerpt of Hush Hush #2.

I have read a lot of BDSM books recently and wondered if this book would be the same as the others, however, I was very pleased to see that this book was not altogether about that. This book was full of revenge, intrigue and a lot of personal issues that required to be dealt with.

April is the main character and is set on revenge against the people who caused pain and heartache to her family. She believed her parents were mistreated and unjustly given a punishment that they did not fully deserve.

From the very first chapter the story set’s out the plot, it is easy, infiltrate the wrong doers and make them pay, isn’t that always easy LOL. Well not for April as there are complications in the way.

The actual story is full of suspense and intrigue and keeps you on your toes throughout. The plot is brilliant and you could actually see this being the way it would be played out on TV.

What I loved about April is her naivety; she is a virgin and has no real understanding on men. She is true but she is also one of those girls who just want's people to pay for their crimes. She has had to endure so much she wants justice.

This is a very realistic read but my only hang up was the cliff hanger. I just wanted the second book to find out what happens, however, if you are not bothered about cliff hangers then go read this book, you will not regret it.
