Very Private Revenge
An intimate vendetta!
Tamar McKinley had made it her business to find out all Jed Cannon's secrets. The notorious playboy had destroyed her cousin's happiness -- and her reputation. Now Tamar was determined Jed must be made to pay. She'd investigated him thoroughly: the homes he owned, the women he dated. It was time to put her plan into action!
Tamar intended to play Jed at his own game: seduce him, then publicly jilt him! But the more she flirted with him, the more she realized Jed wasn't the ruthless man he seemed. Maybe it wasn't really revenge she wanted after all.

About the author
Helen Brooks
407 books121 followersRita Bradshaw was born on 1949 in Northampton, England, where she was educated as a good Christian. She met Clive, her husband, at the age of 16 andnow the magic is still there. They have three lovely children, Cara, Faye, and Benjamin, and have always had a menagerie of animals in the house, which at the present is confined to two endearing and very comical dogs who would make a great double act on TV! The children, friends, and pets all keep the house buzzing and the food cupboards empty but Helen wouldn't have it any other way. She still lives today in Northampton with her family. Although having enjoyed some wonderful holidays abroad she has never been tempted to live anywhere else, although she rather likes the idea of a holiday home close to the sea one day.
Being a committed Christian and fervent animal lover she finds spare time is always at a premium, but long walks in the countryside with her husband and dogs, meals out followed by the cinema or theatre, reading, swimming, and having friends over for dinner are all fitted in somehow. She also enjoys sitting in her wonderfully therapeutic, rambling old garden in the sun with a glass of red wine, (under the guise of resting while thinking of course!)
For years, she was a secretary. She began writing in 1990 as she approached that milestone of a birthday 40! She realized her two teenage ambitions (writing a novel and learning to drive) had been lost amid babies and hectic family life, so set about resurrecting them.
Her first novel was for Mills and Boon and was accepted after one rewrite in 1992 as Helen Brooks, and she passed her driving test (the former was a joy and the latter an unmitigated nightmare!) She has written 50 novels as well as several sagas as Rita Bradshaw.
Since becoming a full-time writer she has found her occupation one of pure joy and often surprised when her characters develop a mind of their own but she loves exploring what makes people tick and finds the old adage "truth is stranger than fiction" to be absolutely true. She would love to hear from any readers care of Mills & Boon.

Re A Very Private Revenge - Helen Brooks takes on the revenge by the h trope in this one. She also has the dubious honor of providing HPlandia with an h who is partially motivated by a previous rape when she was in uni.
So our h is not a unicorn groomer in body, but per HP heroine standards, she is definitely chaste in her mind and thus gets to groom the unicorns who have misplaced or damaged their horns.
Unlike prior stranger rapes in HPlandia, HB chooses a more moralistic route other than having her h keep her attack a dark and secret shame. This h was raped by one of her professors at university. When he acted like she was nothing and that she would never say anything, our tiny h gathered up her backbone and pressed charges.
To the slime gulping snot pustule's amazement, three more of his victims came forward and the skeezy snot pustule was sentenced to prison. The h has managed to outwardly rebuild her life since her horrible experience, she has nice little house and makes a decent living selling real estate.
But the h carries a ferocious anger towards the male gender and when her beloved and sweet cousin gets used and abused by a different snot gulper and then publicly exposed by the H, the h's fury and her outrage set her off on a grand plan o' revenge.
The h's very sweet cousin met a guy who wooed, seduced and impregnated her. The cousin believed the man when he claimed he wanted to marry her. Thus the devastation was tremendous when the cousin was out with her supposed fiance and the H showed up to publicly denounce and berate both the snot gulper and the h's sweet little cousin as being adulterous nematode parasites who would rue the day they cheated on the H's sister.
The cousin lived in a small Scottish town and this public denouncement in front of people she had known for years was extremely damaging. The h's cousin fell into a pit of despair and tried to commit suicide. Fortunately her life was spared, but the suicide attempt caused a miscarriage.
The h can't do anything about the snot gulper, he was thrown out by his wife and there is a divorce in process.
But when the h sees yet another arrogant, snot snarfer of a man who thinks he is master of everything maligning and degrading an innocent publicly -- when he has no proof that she even knew about the adultery -- her already simmering fury becomes incandescent.
Especially when the man publicly throwing stones has more than few widely publicized tawdry affairs under his own belt.
So even tho this is HPlandia and HP rule 23 says that unless your name is Sally Wentworth, (with a small two time concession for Sara Craven,) your grand plan o' heroine designed revenge is destined to completely and utterly fail, our h embarks on scheme to ensnare and then publicly humiliate the H.
Her sneaky plan to let the H feel the deep ache of another's pain is to get the H's interest by selling him some valuable, carefully chosen property. Then wow him and woo him until he is head over heels in want and desire and then dump his sorry, dictatorial and smugly arrogant rear in the most public forum the h can find.
(I had to give the h some serious kudos here, she may have been in PTSD from her rape, but she had massive self confidence that she could hook the H.)
As this H is rich and really stalkery, and the is HB's HPlandia, the h's little revenge lasts about halfway through the h and H's first dinner date. Then the h is utterly in love.
Now the h gets to spend the next five chapters being horrible to herself for being so uncharitable as to try for revenge and terrified that the H will find out about her little charade - while all while sinking irrevocably deeper and deeper into full blown True Love.
That doesn't mean the h sleeps with the H tho, unmarried HB h's do not have premarital sex willingly. That also doesn't mean there isn't any really roofie kissing and gropey hands moves goin' on.
Eventually the H stalks the h onto the edge of some sort of romantic proposal, but before the h's virtue is challenged by her treacherous body, the H's former cheating, coprophagic brother in law shows up - he recognizes the h's unique name, Tamar, and instantly outs her as being a cousin to one his many ladies on the side.
The H gets ballistic, the H's sister goes out with her new man and after a very angry roofie kissing moment, the h realizes that the H hates her and she runs off to her cousin in Scotland.
Where we get the big inner mental announcement that the h was using the H as a therapeutic focus to vent her righteous anger for her attack all those years earlier and that the h will never love again, so she is going to have to focus on something else to give back and make a difference in life.
The h returns to London and is thinking about Social Work, when the H shows up and does are really, really great grovel and sorry for being a stalkerific semi rapist H speech. The h realizes that the H knows about her rape, but he promises he will only push her for lurve club events once or twice an hour if she will marry him and if she says no, he will impatiently wait.
This tender speech of love and impatient devotion wins the h over in the end, she joyously announces her true love back and we get a nice dose of karmic justice as the H announces that the h's rapist died in prison for the full fledged old tyme justice HB HEA.
This is an angsty little drama with nary even a hint of a real effort at revenge. So if you are expecting an h who is going to run amok and make her H cry as she carries out some heinous scheme, you are going to want a different book than this.
But if you like stalkery H's with an h who tries to use her backbone, pick this one up and give it a go for an really great H declaration at the end and pretty okay HP outing.

As usual, the revenge scheme cooked up by the dumb h not only lacks sense, it isn't even fulfilled because midway into it, she falls in luuuurve with her mark. We've seen this all before and it is tired and played out.
The dumb reason: H caught his cheating, womanizing, brother-in-law stepping out on his frail, wheelchair-bound wife (H'sister) and proceeded to rip his Big Flunkie brother-in-law and his Big Floozie mistress each a new asshole in the middle of a gasping audience at a fancy hotel restaurant.
The Big Floozie was h's cousin and she was really no floozie at all, having no idea that Big Flunkie was married and insincere in his courting of her. Totally humiliated and depressed, Non-Floozie tries to kill herself that night, and in the process, has a miscarriage.
h decides, quite logically according to HPlandia Manual of rules and regulations that the real culprit of this tragedy is not the Big Flunkie who seduced an innocent and cheated on his wife but the Hero who was defending the honor of his sister and assumed that Non-Floozie was the latest in a string of Floozies that Big Flunkie had made a habit of squiring around town.
The dumb plan: h is a real estate agent who plans to seduce H while taking him out on hot and exciting open houses and then humiliate him by telling him how she fooled him and really hates him.
The dumb conclusion: h has fallen in love with H in the midst of her dumb revenge plan and is about to confess all when Big Flunkie brother-in-law shows up out of the blue and makes the connection that h is related to his Non-Floozie, not because he has ever met her before mind you, but simply because h has the most unusual and uniquetattoo, scar, T-Shirt emblazoned with the picture of Non-Floozie and an arrow pointing to it with the words "I'm her cousin" first name of....drumrolls...Murgatroyd, Pilot Inspektor, Seven-Up, Tamar.
H kicks h out but then returns three weeks later after finding out that h was raped in college and that this revenge scheme was simply her way of getting even with her rapist by taking all her anger and rage out on the stand-in hero. He luuuurves her and will spend the rest of his life proving it to her.
WTF doesn't even begin to cover this one.

Kind of a downer. Heroine is a rape survivor who pressed charges against the professor who assaulted her while she was in university. She hasn't dated in five years, choosing to work on her real estate career. When her cousin attempts suicide after being publicly humiliated by the hero, the heroine decides to seek revenge on him. The cousin didn't realize the man she was dating was married to the hero's sister. The night of her suicide attempt, she lost the baby she was carrying, so the heroine thinks the hero has a lot to answer for.
The revenge plan really makes no sense. She arranges to meet the hero by showing him some properties she knows he'll be interested in purchasing. She will make him interested in her and then she is going to tell him off? Maybe? It's all a bit hazy.
Instead the hero is fascinated with her and begins his pursuit. He makes no bones about the fact he wants her - and that he will never marry. He has a horrific backstory as well - his mother cheated on his father her entire married life, abandoning her children - and he found his fiance in bed with another man.
The heroine is attracted to him, but has a lot of hangups and anger from her rape. She realizes why the hero was so protective of his sister when she meets her and finds that she has a degenerative disease the confines her to a wheelchair. She feels torn between loyalty to her cousin and pity for the sister.
The hero can't figure her out. The heroine never tells him of her connection to his sister's cheating husband and it comes back to bite her in the behind when the ex shows up for a handout and recognizes the heroine. The hero is livid that the heroine lied to him and he thinks she has strung him along for revenge. To say he had trust issues is an understatement. He says some horrible things and tries a forced seduction before the his sister knocks on the door and interrupts them.
The heroine is justifiably afraid of his anger and runs away. She ends up in Scotland with her cousin and takes three weeks to sort herself out. She realizes she was using the hero as a conduit to her anger at all men and that she should have told him about her cousin.
When she returns to her flat, the hero tracks her down and grovels. He's had time to think (and find out about her rape case). He now realizes she wasn't putting on an act and that he his anger wasn't justified. Heroine thinks he's pitying her - but he blurts out the ILY and the marriage proposal for a HEA
The heroine was just so miserable and bitter through this whole story - either reliving the trauma of her rape or feeling guilty for being attracted to the hero - that there weren't too many high notes. The hero was bitter and cynical and very stalkerish. The week of flowers was unsettling. And his insistence that he never accepted the word no. That was ominous for a rape survivor.
The hero's sister was in a wheelchair and had been emotionally isolated by her ex - so she was a downer as well. The Ex didn't have the comeuppance he deserved, but the heroine's rapist died in jail, so that good, I guess?
A solid story if you're in the mood for a lot of conflict and pain.

Loved this book! The hero Jed was swoon worthy! Uber smitten and just wouldn't take no for an answer he was charming and Tamar was fighting him and herself when it went against everything she wanted or believe!
The revenge was pretty much a non starter since it ended before she did anything but that didn't take much away from the story!
Definite recommend! One for keeps.
Triggers: Rape, glossed over but this was not by the hero Jed.

2.5 stars
Tamar's pregnant, shy, sweet cousin Gaby was confronted and publicly humiliated by Jed in a hotel restaurant while having dinner with Roland Mitchell, Jeb's brother in law. Gaby had no idea Roland was married. Later that night Gaby attempted suicide, she survived but lost her baby as a result. Tamar blamed Jeb and decided to demean him as he has done to her cousin, except her actions were not really about Jeb but about another man, a professor who has rapped her and many others.
It didn't make sense to me in this story that Tamar was harsher on Jeb than on Roland. She hardly confronted Roland when she had the chance.

After being raped in University and recently dealing with her cousins unexpected drama and loss, the heroine has had enough! She is going to finally get revenge for her rape, for her cousins loss and public humiliation and the one person she's blaming? The hero! This book shows us what happens when the heroine falls in love with the hero who to her knowledge is also a part time villain, just not the main one. Sometimes you can be your worst enemy!

Bumped it up a star cz of the H. The poor gent just wanted a nice big house in London for his differently abled sister but became the insane focus of the h's misguided revenge plot. I think the h should have gone after Ronald, the skunky brother in law of the H instead. At least she realized that all her actions were a twisted late onset reaction to her
The H is superbly tenacious in his courtship - he is this millionaire businessman but keeps calling the h all the time, asking her for dates, sending her 2 dozen flowers of all varieties, stopping by her workplace - he managed to not make it stalkerish too which was a plus lol. The h felt the tingles on their first meeting but kept trying to push it back. His comment midway through the book - about not believing in true love and that he would have a MOC, have kids, let them become adults in their 20s and then him and wifey would go their separate ways - had an impact on both the h and me. However he did apologize a lot towards the end about this and said he will wait the rest of his life for her to say yes to his marriage proposal and would not marry anyone else ever, not to mention the fact that he cried with her when he finds out her secret, so this more than made up for it. Not a lot of steamy scenes and we do not see them consummate their relationship in this book, which was actually a good thing in this context.

Tamar had a traumatic exprience at university because of a man and her beloved cousin tried to commit suicide and lost her baby because of a cheating man, so she put it in her head to avange her cousin. Her plan was simple! She would get close to Jed Cannon and let him be attracted to her and then humilate him in public like he did to her innocent trusting cousin. But, the plan was not working in Jed as it was supposed to be! From their first meeting, Tamar lost control! Not only didn't she reckon for his devastating effect on her, but she didn't reckon how much he was determined to win her completely once he was attracted to her!
It's a delicious read. I liked the fact that we were introduced to two strong, but vulnerable characters. Tamar is soft-hearted even though she was supposed to be vengeful, and Jed was tender even though he was relentless in his pursuit, especially considering his own thoughts of marriage and love. A recommended read.
