Russell McClain is not only out for vengeance, he's out for blood. Miranda Lee's, The Billionaire's Bride of Vengeance will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and holding your breath! Especially at the end when he takes his vegeance too far.
Russell went to the best of schools thanks to his father's sacrifice and then his father over extended himself finalcially and from there everything went downhill. When his father's loan was call in by the very greedy Alister Powers, McClain's father lost everything and took his life. After his father died, Russell was determined to do well in school. Through determination and hard work he became a very successful millionaire in the real estate industry.
Russell has carried the loss his father and the determination for vengeance with him for years. He vows to get even and he does by bringing down the corrupt Alister Powers. As a successful man himself, he reflects back to a day when he confronted and accused Power's of causing his father's death. When Power's doesn't take responsibility, Russell vows to get even. He gets even when he bankrupts Powers, taking everything including his mansion. Power's flees the country with his wife to places unknown.
When he moves in to the palatial mansion he finds he has a beautiful guest who is taking a shower. He just stands there and watches and is in awe by her beauty. He even fantasies about her. Russell gets a second chance with the lovely Nicole when he sees her at one of his best friends wedding. He takes her back to the mansion with him and they make love all night. After only one evening Russell realizes that even though he knows she is Nicole Powers, the very daughter of the man he's just brought down, he's not ready to let her go just yet and what better revenge than to make her his and marry her?
Nicole Powers isn't what she seems, she's definitely not a spoiled rich girl with no values. She sweet, kind, considerate and extremely beautiful. She's also very dedicated in helping a woman to runs an orphanage in Thailand and vows to return with money and on hands assistance. However, she adores and falls in love with Russell not knowing of what's transpired between her stepfather and Russell's family.
Life has a way of turning the tables and sometimes there are consequences. Will Nicole find out the truth and not marry Russell? You'll just have to read this wonderful book yourself to find out. So many lessons to be learned with this particular romance like you can't judge a book by it's cover and revenge really isn't so sweet when it can cost you love!

Disappointing
26 Feb 2011
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I like Miranda Lee so based on the synopsis, I was expecting so much from this book but it just did not deliver...and maybe that was the problem. I thought the idea was great so the book would be as well. Not so.
The hero blames a man for his father's loss of livelihood and subsequent suicide. He vows revenge. Years later, he builds himself up to billionaire status and goes after the man's only child (or so he believes), a daughter he plans on using and seducing to get back at her father. Okay, so I'm expecting a lot of conflict and a big vengeance plot, and since this is a romance, I'm expecting him to be torn between his love for her and years of planning and hate.
But instead of being a gold-digger he thought she should be (and seriously, I am so getting tired of all these books having a gold-digger underelying issue), she turns out to be a 2nd Mother Teresa, volunteering in an orphanage in a 3rd world country. And poof, overnight, he goes from despising her to being in love with her, and the wedding which was supposed to be his ultimate revenge is one of love.
There didn't seem to be any build up of feelings for her. It was like a magic trick, from I hate her, then ABRACADABRA, I love her.
Okay, even all of this I would forgive, but the climactic moment, when her mother comes out of hiding to stop the wedding ceremony, and I think, Yes! Finally, some drama, and what does the bride do when she's told her relationship and marriage were all just orchestrated as a revenge plot? She pretty much just tells her mother to mind her own business...the end.
Seriously, which woman would ever just accept that situation...and on her wedding day?
Add together that the only real relationships this heroine has had with men has been a stepfather who turned out to be a 2nd Bernie Madoff, and a fiance she caught having sex with someone else. She's going to just accept (in the blink of an eye) that yes, her new husband used her but he changed his mind and she doesn't feel the need to at least question him about it?
Oh please.

This book was so unreal. There were so many inconsistencies, and the heroine's actions never made sense, or seemed believable. Her "nice and non-shallow, non-materialistic girl" character seemed so forced. And it took her saying the she wasn't his enemy's blood daughter to make him finally relinquish his belief that she was just as bad as him? What? Also, the love scenes were hardly written. The actual event is skipped over every time, but any little touching and licking and foreplay is described perfectly. This is the last Miranda Lee book I will get. I'm done with her contrived writing.
