An International romantic thriller that you will never forget. FOR LOVE AND VENGEANCE When everyone lies to you-trust your gut instinct If that fails-start over For your love deserves the best And murderous terrorist your vengeance May God have mercy on their soul Both the Americans and the Russians think Victoria works for them exclusively. In truth; the Pack, an International Crime Syndicate, brutally controls her while they launder money in America by buying distressed houses for terrorist sleepers. While she executes the perfect escape, staging her death during a shark attack, she makes one mistake-she meets Royce, who worked as a special operative several years earlier, the night before disappearing. Royce, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with any American led special operations after he had been lied to in order to keep him focus on his prior mission. His girlfriend had been abducted and brutally murdered earlier while they had kept him in the dark. The last thing he had ever expected was another woman in his life, especially a Russian spy. Furthermore, he never would have believed that she would be the one thing that would encourage him to finish a mission that he should have taken care of the first time. Royce is well trained on how to discover the truth, so although Victoria's apparent shark attack was well conceived he knows better. He had used the life of a surfer bum for years as his cover. The more lies he uncovers, the more suspicious he becomes until finally he feels like he has little choice. His prior operation was so top secret even the CIA were told nothing He didn't need them then, and he sure the hell didn't need them this time either. The last time it was for country-this time it was going to be personal.… (meer)

That Royce has it all, being smart, handsome, charming, successful, and tough. After losing his last girlfriend to a kidnapping in which she was tortured and killed, he starts a new life under cover of an executive dating service. On a surfing escape he meets Victoria and even though they only spend one night together he experiences an amazingly strong connection with her. He doesn't give up on his new love interest after she is the supposed victim of a shark attack. Somewhere in his heart he believes she is still alive. When things don't add up, he goes looking for answers to new questions and settles old scores. I loved the story, it was action packed, and the romantic scenes were very well written.
One thing I would recommend, a stronger editing. I found myself rereading in places because of grammatical errors or typos.

I was given this book for free in exchange for a review. ( )

For Love and Vengeance is a spy novel with a touch of romance. Victoria is a computer expert. She is also a double agent. Both the Americans and the Russians think Victoria works for them, but she is in fact being controlled by a crime syndicate known as the Pack. Victoria decides her only way out is to stage her death in a shark attack. What she didn't count on was meeting Royce on her last night. They have a romantic and passionate night and then she vanishes.

Unbeknownst to Victoria, Royce is a retired special operative for American Intelligence. Victoria’s apparent death doesn't look right to him and he begins to investigate. Soon the involvement of the CIA and Russian intelligence confirm his suspicions that there is more to Victoria’s disappearance than meets the eye. Following leads in Russia and France Royce soon discovers that his old enemies, the Pack are involved. They tortured and murdered his former girlfriend and he is determined that history will not repeat itself.

This is a very exciting and fast paced novel. I was very engaged in finding out how the characters were going to be reunited and how they would survive their adventures. There were some very exciting action scenes, with all the explosions and fights that one would want. The villains were suitably villainous. The only thing that kept me from fully enjoying this novel was the writing. There were mixed metaphors, clunky dialogue and misused words throughout. I was given this book for review, so I would assume there is still some proofreading to do, however the file I was given was labeled "kindle version of final manuscript of for love and vengenance (sic)" so I would have thought all the typos (of which there were many) would have been corrected.
