The eighth book in the Last Chance Rescue series. I love Christy Reece but this one didn't quite stand up to her usual standards in my opinion. The beginning was slow and it was hard for me to keep reading at times. Thankfully, it sped up about halfway in and I was able to continue and finish it.
Quickie review:
Jamie's initial thoughts about Dylan:
How could one man be so gorgeously handsome, so wonderfully heroic, so seemingly kind, but so incredibly obnoxious, rude and, well, just generally an asshole?
That's Dylan! He has incredible moments of sweetness towards Jamie followed by that damn "hero thinking" - you know how they are - thinking he wasn't good enough for Jamie, she could do so much better than him, and deciding that staying away from her is what's best...for her. I wanted to h...more

I finished Sweet Revenge this morning and as expected LOVED IT!
I loved Jamie. She appeared fragile and sweet, but she has amazing internal strength. I also loved her smart ass comments and inappropriate questions. When she asked about Dylan's testicles I burst out laughing! I'm glad no one was around to around to see...I'm sure I looked nuts!
I wanted to thump Dylan more than once. He was so stubborn, refusing to admit his feelings to Jamie. Thankfully, Jamie was a very forgiving woman so when h...more

Eighth in the Last Chance Rescue series. The couple focus is on Jamie Kendrick and Dylan Savage.
My Take
This one had my heart in my mouth a few times!
The prologue provides a review of events in Last Chance , so we fully understand why this revenge is so sweet.
This particular story is just another reason why I think parents should be licensed. Talk about perpetuating the cycle!
It's a double obstacle course for Jamie. Dylan expects her to accomplish near-impossible physical requirements. But Jami...more

My Review:
I think that Jamie qualifies as one of my most favorite heroines ever and she is perfectly matched up with Dylan, another one of Christy Reece's amazing heroes from Last Chance Rescue. Jamie is a rescuee that was abducted and abused for two months. BUT she is an extremely strong character. She grew up in a very difficult childhood and learned how to compartmentalize. As a result, she is out for revenge especially after the human trafficker that took her gets off completely from all of...more

Sweet Revenge was a good book but not great or as good as some of the other books by this author.
Jamie, McKenna's sister went through hell at the hand of a sadistic monster when LCR and Dylan rescued her. After months of therapy and being disappointed by the legal system Jamie is ready for payback and to bring that man and his organization down one way or another, so she gives LCR boss Noah a chance to help her.
Noah doesn't want her in danger but to placate her tells her he will get her trained,...more

review of another edition
"All intimacy is rare – that’s what makes it precious. And it involves the revelation of one’s self and the loving gaze upon another’s true self – that’s what makes it so damn hard. Intimacy requires honesty and kindness in almost equal measure, trust and trustworthiness, forgiveness and the capacity to be forgiven...It’s more than worth it – just don’t let them tell you it’s BLISS."

The overwhelming circumstances, unbelievable obstacles, passionate pleasures and amazing transformations these two characters go through make Sweet Revenge a fantastic tale. This is such a strong plot as the old adage good versus evil is intertwined throughout the pages with romance, danger and sensational events surrounding it. I love how Jamie is seen as this fragile woman until Dylan finally realizes that beneath her exterior she has unbelievable strength and determination. I would most defin...more
(Dec)3.5* I have always hated books where an ordinary woman (or man, but usually it's a girl) lives through something awful - and then decides she's going to be the Terminator - she's going to learn to fight and exact revenge on those who done her wrong. It always seems ridiculous - she's never done anything physical and all of a sudden she is trained like she's an Ultimate Warrior - I just want to say to her "forget about it - get on with your life!" Definitely not one of Reece's better books (...more
Although I enjoyed this book alot, I struggled with the beginning somewhat. Purely for reasons that irritated me due to one of the MC’s, Dylan Savage. Seriously, I have days I just want to climb into a book and shake the crap out of some people! Don’t get me wrong though, he’s not a bad guy, he just has a lot of ‘I’m a jerk’ moments….and they are strangle worthy in my opinion. :D

A great read with a few surprising insights.
I have been anxious to read Dylan's story for a while. He is the one operative of LCR that has been there with Noah since the first book.
Jamie Kendrick (Mckenna's sister)elementary school teacher, is out for revenge on the man who purchased her for his son's entertainment. She gives up all the information she can on Standford Reddington and his involvement in human trafficking and slavery. He gets away from being prosecuted as there is no proof. She wa...more

Firstly, I have to say that I have found a NEW, AMAZING Author in Christy Reece. And Secondly, I have to say that I might just like Sweet Revenge better than Sweet Justice....or MAYBE EVEN!!
I loved the timeline of Sweet Revenge...The whole story doesn't take place over three days but months. Cristy sucks you in at the first page and then brings you along on a Very Suspenseful, Very Emotional journey with Jamie and Dylan.

Another great addition. Though I haven't been floored by any LCR books, I've got to say that at this point, I'm very impressed. Each book has stood on its own and each couple is firmly entrenched into my romantic suspense library. (The one in my head) I feel comfortable in Last Chance Rescue world, and it's been nice getting to know all of those involved in the organization.

Look at that cover. Mmm, mmm, mmm, good! I love those colors together! HAHA I bet you thought I was going to say something else.....
I am sooo excited to start this book tonight! I hear it's the best in the series so far.....
This author can do no wrong in my eyes. It's hard for me to choose which book has been the best so far. My heart will always have Eden and Jordan in the number one spot, but this book is very close to that spot. It was the most heart wrenching book of the series as of yet. I...more

When the perverted SOB bastard Hughes realizes she's not the woman he's looking for, he sells Jaime to another pervert, Mr. Reddington. Reddington, gives Jaime to his sick and twisted Son, Lance as his new sex toy slave for him and his friends to enjoy. *shivers with disgust*

I love the LCR series I have all of them. I have even loaned them to my friends. The stories are well written. I love how the main characters have their own story to tell but yet still enter twine with other characters from the last books. The author lets the readers knows how these characters lives have progressed. I do not like to give too much details in my reviews I leave that to others why spoil the storyline. I cant wait for "Sweet Reward"
wow what a great story... at some point i will learn to expect to want to slap the men in this series so they come to their senses. The hero in this story is another thick headed but fabulously wonderful man. Hero is definitely the best word for him in every sense.
Our heroine is a lady we can all aspire to be. Taking the bull by the horns and making sure that the wrongs done to her cannot be done to another.

I have loved this whole series, and to see it end, just breaks my heart. I really enjoyed Jared and Mia's story. My only complaint...and it isn't a big one, is that I wish knowing it was the last book, we could have revisited more LCR friends before signing off. I know they already got their story, but just my opinion. GREAT READ.
OHMIGOSH!!!!! THE BEST LCR NOVEL YET!!! For my full review and details on how you can WIN a LCR bookmark visit

Jamie and Dylan have to be one of my new favorite couple of this entire series!! I loved them together!! It did get frustrating at times, but it was all worth it in the end! This one definately had the suspense and steamyness to keep me going and not want to stop! Jamie was such a wonderful character; so strong and vulnerable all at the same time... it made her seem so real and relatable!! i was also glad that Mckenna and Lucas were in the story more; not a whole lot but more than Sweet Justice...more
Christy Reece you are my hero once again. I just love this series and specialy this one.
Dylan and Jamie are a lovely couple and they both have their share of past monsters and I loved their story but I also loved Raphael and the Reddington family (the good part, of course)
I would love to read a story with Raphael and Giselle as main characters.

Growing up in a tiny community in Alabama boasting only one stop sign and a gas station gave Christy ample opportunity to create daring adventures in her head. When she wasn't thinking of her story characters, Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys kept her entertained and out of trouble. Later came the chills of Stephen King and the thrills of John Grisham, but the romance genre always held a strong place...more
