This book had a really promising start and I was really looking forward to getting to the juicy parts of the book. Unfortunately, it quickly went downhill from there - I don't know if it was the writing or the character development but this book was not for me. I do see how some people might enjoy it if you are looking for a romance book - but don't go in with the expectation that it will be super deep or anything like that.

Wow, Sweet Revenge is one hell of a book. This Jennifer Hanks story will grab you immediate, and take you on one hell of an angsty ride. It is a great read.

If you want to read about two characters who have chilling backstories, look no further.

We are introduced to Maggie who has had a hard time since her mum died and left her alone. Maggie got into a bad situation before meeting the Sinners when her life completely changed.

Maggies character is very wilty and tragic which I suppose is to be expected after the things she has been through but I don't think we are given enough about her growth throughout the story. Gunner and the entire Sinners club are now solely dedicated to looking after Maggie and even though they are a club that doesnt agree with violence and such they do it to help Maggie.



I did like a lot of the other characters and would have enjoyed learning more about them. Gunner for example seemed like an interesting character but all we we told about him is how crazy for Maggie he was. I know now that I enjoy a Motorcycle club story but I don't really enjoy a needy heroine that needs a man to get better and what would of happened to Maggie if Gunner wasn't completely into her?



That being said I enjoyed this read while I was reading it and I appreciate that the cliff hanger isnt so big that you cant read it as a stand alone. The story is fairly fast paced and I didnt get bored at all during the read.



I am not sure if I will be carrying on with the series.

I loved this book it was everything and more I enjoyed it even though I couldn’t relate to the characters and that’s where it lacked for me but I really enjoyed it and couldn’t put it down for 1 second as it was really well written

I love reading MC romances and Sweet Revenge hit the mark for me. It had all the elements I'm looking for in this type of story: intrigue, suspense and jaded but loyal to a fault characters. It was raw and gritty and kept me reading well into the night. Maggie and Gunner together melted my heart. She's been through a lot of bad situations and doesn't trust easily but Gunner will do anything to protect Maggie and show her that there are still good men out there. I loved how the characters were presented, they all have depth and were relatable. Revenge, secrets, and enemies may stand in their way to happiness but when you have love, brotherhood, and honor everything can be overcome. This story will pull at your heartstrings. I recommend it!

Maggie went through hell. She has been abused physically and verbally ever since she met Snake when she was young. Now she is escaping but she may putting her self and other in danger by running away from Snake.
Gunner wanted Maggie ever since he saw her and he would do anything to protect her. He knew she was from rival MC but she was trying to help Gunner's MC.
Both needed each other in more ways. They were facing more dangers ever since Maggie was under Gunner's protection and when Snake finds where Maggie is, he is planning to rage war against Gunner's BC.
Emotional roller coaster from beginning to the end. Maggie goes through hell and it is not an easy to go through but finding HEA at the end was worth it.
Thanks to Netgalley for ARC in exchange for honest review.

This was not my cup of tea. Maggie went through horrible ordeals and I could hardly stomach her exposure to the MC club not to mention the romance between her and Gunner felt very shocking when you think what she has gone through in the past.
Though there were cute moments, the pacing was also a bit off and some parts just dragged on unnecessarily.

Book Review- Sweet Revenge by Jennifer Hank

I love this author and I am excited to see her write about the Sinners MC. Bear and the guys are awesome, and I can’t wait to dive into their stories. Maggie is such a great character. She risks everything to help Luke DiMarco. She is so broken from the abuse she has endured. The author really portrays how numb she had become and how she had given up. It was sad to read. Unfortunately, it isn’t uncommon. Her fear kept her prisoner.
Gunner is my hero in this book. His approach to handling Maggie is spot on. I am amazed that the author could create the right combination of tough biker and gentle man in one person.
The story has a lot going on. Maggie won’t be safe until Snake is found. Gunner must deal with his past. Bec’s life is going to change in a big way. Bear is responsible for his club’s safety and growth. There are some difficult decisions to be made by Gunner and the MC. They have some enemies to contend with. The author does a great job spinning this story as the MC rides a thin line between legitimate club and taking care of business. It is fascinating to read as they navigate through the situations that arise and the decisions that must be made. It is crazy to see how things evolve and the storyline plays out.
I couldn’t put it down. The twists and turns at times were shocking and the ending leaves you wanting more. The Spiders just declared war. I give this book a 5 out of 5.

3 1/2 Stars!

Maggie’s mother died when she was fifteen and she was left to fend for herself on the streets until a couple of years later when Snake found her. But Maggie’s luck didn’t get any better, as Snake beat her and used her as his personal sex slave. Years later she breaks free and runs to the rival MC’s The Sinners. That’s where she meets Gunner ... her knight in shining armour. But can he protect her from her past ... and his past?

I really liked Gunner, but I couldn’t understand why he didn’t try to help Maggie sooner. And although I liked Maggie, she was just a little too helpless ... but she became stronger as the book went on. I think the author introduced too many characters at the beginning and it was hard to keep them straight. But I’m glad I stayed with it because I really enjoyed the end and can’t wait for the next book.

Book one in the Sinners MC series. Big fan of MC books. First time reader of Jennifer Hanks and I really enjoyed it.

Maggie is broken. She doesn’t trust anyone. All for making a bad decision and now she is fighting for survival. Gunner is part of the Sinners MC. He has watched Maggie from a far even though she is taken. He has been fighting his feelings for her. Both have pasts. Will they be able to overcome them? After hearing something Maggie puts herself on the line to help others. Will she be able to?

This story kept me on the edge of my seat. Filled with romance and suspense. Can’t wait to see what comes out next.

There were so many things wrong with this book that I almost don't even know where to begin. So, after literally SEVEN years of being raped and abused by one guy, the lead girl immediately jumps and enters a physical relationship with another? It's actually really gross and uncomfortable, and I couldn't vibe with Gunner's stalk-y behavior. Ugh.

This book was great. It was filled with romantic suspense that kept me entertained. Maggie and Gunnar are perfect for each other. I enjoy MC romances but feel they are pretty hard to execute well - this one does a good job. It’s not over the top and cheesy but sustains the elements you hope for in an MC romance. This was a 3.5 star read for me.

I am sorry but this just was tooo heartbreaking for me to continue and I had read some reviews that mention that there is a cliffhanger I hate those. Even though I have read some pretty tough books and with triggers I just couldn't..

Sweet Revenge is my first book by this author and I loved that this MC book was not misogynistic or degrading to women, The story started out very good and it hooked me right away however, it's supposed to be a standalone but I didn't feel like I was able to connect to many of the characters in the story without having read the backstory from what I'm assuming is a previous series. I also felt like there was a lot of setup for the next story without fully wrapping up Maggie and Gunner's relationship. So overall, I'm giving this book three chilli peppers of hotness.

I received a free ARC from the publisher in exchange for my honest opinion. All thoughts are my own.

I give Sweet Revenge by Jennifer Hanks 3 stars. Although I was not a fan of Maggie's story, I powered through. And I'm glad I did because I liked the story between Maggie and Gunner. Becs was funny and I'd like to read her story.

I've been struggling a bit lately with my reading, but after reading reviews of Sweet Revenge, I knew this would be a great way to get back on track. Unfortunately, the struggle continued. Jennifer Hanks was a new author for me. Her writing and storyline reminded me of Kristen Ashley, but didn't draw me in the same way. To be fair, although this can be read as a stand alone, I don't think it should be. Throughout the book, I seemed to lose interest during scenes with characters from prior books that I had no knowledge of. While these characters must have only added to the excitement of some scenes, it did the opposite for me. Still, while I can say that I would have had a better foundation for this book if I had read others in the series beforehand, I don't know that I would have wanted to read them, nor do I know for a fact that I wouldn't have lost interest.

We are introduced to the main character, Gunner, who is currently the VP of the Sinners, an MC trying to go clean and stay clean. This wasn't all that clear, nor did it seem to be very important. In fact, this book stays away from actual club drama as much as possible and instead focuses on saving Gunner's love interest, Maggie. Not only does Gunner have some kind of connection to this woman, but she is also the ex-lover of Snake, president of the Widow's. The Widow's are the local rival club, lead by Gunner's father and enemy. They are basically the worst kind of MC, involved in trafficking women and children for the cartel. While that would make for an interesting but horrifying read, our story mentions that these things are happening but doesn't shine any light on them. There was an opportunity for depth here, but the author stayed very close to the surface. Perhaps that's why I lost interest in this book.

Maggie is an incredibly beaten and battered woman, with a great story to tell. Her seemingly speedy recovery limits her story, which had the opportunity for so much growth. Even so, the MC is seemingly obsessed with Maggie, even though there are women and children being trafficked right on their front lawn. Normally, I would still be able to appreciate a book like this but I may have put too much stock in this being my comeback book.

I haven't read much MC books, but this wasn't my cup of tea. I didn't like the Main character girl and i felt like the main character man was sort of boring? i didn't learn so much about him , it felt like. I skimmed most part because i could'nt get interested or invested in the story at all.
