Yes but only because I already own it but not until after I've read something sickly sweet and indulged in copious amounts of wine and chocolate and had several showers!

Apr 01, Rebecca Tust rated it really liked it. Zoe sends the half-naked women at Hunter's table on their way and informs the scandalous rake that she intends on rehabilitating his image. Hunter informs the beautiful, smart-mouthed Zoe with the dark, smokey-grey eyes, that he's worked too hard to create his ruined image and declines her request. Hunter is a handsome, wealthy, Ivy-Leaguer, who instead of following his pedigree to run the family corporation, chose to pursue professional football instead.

As an NFL quarterback, with his bad behavior, he's managed to get himself ejected from the league, has numerous lawsuits against him. His relationship with his parents is estranged, and he's done his best to alienate his close friends. Hunter has just moved back to New York and prefers his state of numb existence until Zoe Brooks charges into his life. Hunter knows Zoe Brook has an ulterior motive.

He just can't figure out what it is, and she refuses to tell him. As chemistry between Hunter and Zoe ignites into a fever pitch, Hunter finds himself intrigued with the woman and half-heartedly agrees to Zoe's image make-over in order to spend more time with her. When Zoe tracked down Hunter, she had only one thing in mind: Hunter was supposed to be a pawn in achieving her goal for revenge against Jason Treffen, and nothing more. As she meets the tawdry Hunter for the first time, he's not exactly as she imagined.

For starters, she's not prepared for the intense chemistry that sizzles between them. She doesn't understand how her body reacts to someone so despicable. On the surface, Hunter appears to be an angry, dumb jock, but Zoe quickly realizes there's more to Hunter than he leads people to believe. Zoe has spent years waiting for the right opportunity to bring Jason Treffen down.

While she was in her senior year at college, Zoe met Jason. He was a partner at a prestigious law firm and hired her as a legal assistant. She thought he was nice and caring. She thought he understood her. Desperate for love and affection, she soaked up Jason's attention, not realizing Jason exploited women like herself. Under the guise of being a legal assistant, he turned women into paid escorts and then blackmailed them into servitude.

Zoe was one of his victims and it took years to finally escape his grasp. Zoe is the type of person used to being in control. Getting Hunter to behave accordingly while maintaining a business relationship is more difficult than she thought. For years, she has believed herself to be frigid. Of all people, Hunter is the one that has her burning like a raging fire Hunter has spent years blaming himself for his ex-girlfriend's death.

He's also spent years on a path of self-destruction and loathing, but for the first time in a long time, Zoe Brook makes him feel again There are a lot of good points to this story. I really liked the hero in this book. He turns out to be a really great guy and is actually very charming and likable. The hero and heroine had great chemistry together, but at times, especially near the beginning, it felt too contrived and way too strong, too fast. For both characters to be radiating sex out of their pores at the first business meeting seemed a little unbelievable.

Also there were times when there would be dialog between characters and then a long narration would lapse before resuming the ongoing dialog. I found myself having to go backwards quite a few times to figure out what they were originally talking about as it seemed disjointed. On the most part, I really like Zoe, the heroine. She's beautiful and intelligent. She managed to get herself out of a tough situation and has turned her life into a success. What I didn't like was how she self-sabotaged her relationship with Hunter.

I don't really have that much tolerance for mind games, and Zoe seemed to pack quite a few, especially near the end. The saving grace was that most of the problems were short-lived and not drawn out for an extended period. Overall, this was an enjoyable contemporary romance. I received this ARC from publisher for an honest review. Aug 16, Jessica Alcazar rated it liked it Shelves: I've decided to do this review as a full series review because the individual books did not give me so much problems as the series as a whole.

My biggest problem with the trilogy but not really a trilogy is it, because there are 4 books to the whole story is that it was SO anti-climatic by the end, I was almost sorry I spent the better part of a week invested in it. These books have an underlining theme And each individual book, the hero takes a part in I've decided to do this review as a full series review because the individual books did not give me so much problems as the series as a whole. And each individual book, the hero takes a part in this 'take-down'.

But when you finish with book four, you don't get to LIVE any of what happens to the man responsible for their friend's death. You have to assume that he is 'destroyed' and I have a very hard time with that. As a matter a fact, the next to last paragraph on the Expose Me book 4 actually states "They were both talking about Treffen and what would happen next Are you kidding me?!?! The other problem I had with the series as a whole was that Sydney and Travis from Take Me were dropped from the stories as soon as their short story ended.

Sydney was Sarah's best friend and Travis was the one that got 'the letter' first with the suspicions and accusations about Treffen. Yet not one single appearance by them in any of the 'trilogy'. That was odd to me. Now on to what was good: Avenge Me book 1: Austin Treffen's son and good friend of Sarah's is our hero and Katy Sarah's sister is our heroine. Neither knows about the who the other is and when they meet, the chemistry is explosive.

Austin has been estranged from his father for the last 10 years since Sarah's death not because he knew of his father's involvement, but more because he had suspicions and it made him sick. Katy after a long struggle to get her life in order , has been trying to get dirt on Treffen for a while. After the two meet and put their suspicions together, Austin decides his role in the take down of his father will be to help his mother divorce his father and take him for all he's got.

That is the gist of book one. But there is a whole lot of story in between that I am obviously not sharing because them why buy the book, right?! Scandalize Me book 2: Hunter Sarah's ex boyfriend and good friend is our hero and Zoe another of Treffen's victims is our heroine. Zoe is a PR agent and Hunter is a washed out ex-football player and gazillionare himself. Zoe seeks out Hunter as a client because she knows of his past relationship with Sarah and wants to use him to take down Treffen.

Little do they BOTH know that they have that common goal even before they meet. And so as they build their very explosive relationship scorching hot they plot together Aaaaand that's enough detail from me lol If you want more, read the book Expose Me book 3: Alex Sarah's good friend and head of a global media empire is our hero and Chelsea famous talk-show host is our heroine. Chelsea host a very popular daytime TV talk-show and has Treffen on her schedule to be interviewed live on her show. When Alex's finds out, he seeks her out in order to convince her to use her interview as the last nail in Treffen's coffin and out him on live television.

These two have even more explosive chemistry than any other couple in this series! Good Lord, I was glued to every page! Chelsea's back story was SO heart-wrenching and poor Alex's reactions were just so typical for a man, you just can't help but feel sorry for him! This was by far my favorite book of the trilogy, with Scandalize Me coming a very close second! Even tho I had a HUGE problem with how the take-down of Jason Treffen ended, all these books rate very high in their individual romantic stories! Jul 23, Aisha Oaktree rated it it was amazing Shelves: Originally Reviewed on The Bewitching bibliophile Ha I laughed so hard when I started reading this, Zoe was totally a kick ass woman and she was so not expecting Hunter to be who he was.

On page iDied, I can't with Hunter, why would you go so hard with him?? And then on page Yes Ge Originally Reviewed on The Bewitching bibliophile Ha I laughed so hard when I started reading this, Zoe was totally a kick ass woman and she was so not expecting Hunter to be who he was.

And then on page Yes Get it Zoe!! Hunter is doing even worse than Austin is, because he loved Sarah and he never knew she was in trouble. On that last night, he hurt her when she needed him and he can't forgive himself because he had made assumptions about her and he thought he was the injured party. For that Hunter has been punishing himself for ten years, and he's been doing it publicly. It's sad to see how Sarah's choice is rippling across the lives of her friends and loved ones she left behind.

How it almost broke her sister, how it hurt her friends and all because she needed to get away from one bastard. One man's evil hurts so many people and he doesn't even care. This book took you and made you care. The story flew by and I was rooting for Hunter to stop hiding from his past and the pain.

Alyssa | FanFiction

For Zoe to kick her demons in the nuts with her killer heels and for her vengeance to truly come through. This book carried on the story well, picking up where Avenge Me left off, peeling back the layers of the characters and exposing all their flaws, fears and desperate need for redemption. Zoe's story made me hurt and made me angry; because the sad part about these stories??

Is knowing that this is all too real, that this can take place anywhere in the world and women are always trapped beyond their control. Women who saw the golden ticket, the perfect opportunity to get their dreams to only discover the nightmare hidden within when they were too far gone. Zoe's struggle felt real and never made it too far out of the realm of possibility. At times it felt all too real.

The pairing was exceptional, I was engaged from the beginning, The sexy times The inital time between their meet and their getting together took place over months and it wasn't insta love or like. They both worked each other's last nerves when they met and then it took time for trust to bloom before they were able to get together without all the baggage in the way. Hunter as a character was well done as well, he was a man on a mission to punish himself for failing the woman he loved; even though he like everyone else didn't really see the signs, and Sarah herself never told anyone she needed help.

When given the chance to enact revenge Hunter is slow to the task but eventually comes around when he realizes this isn't about him anymore, and I loved him for that. I chose bot to read the book's synopsis so I was unaware I was going to be reading Hunter's story, I just went in knowing as book 2 it was going to be carrying on the story. And I wasn't disappointed. Can I just say I want more from Zahir?? Can he get his own story??

What is Kobo Super Points?

This was a great follow up to avenge me , this one really explored the main losses not from a outsider's point of view but from those most affected by the actions of Sarah and the villain. And it's done wonderfully. This is a story of revenge and redemption and I loved how it was resolved. How it came together in the end and gave us a satisfactory ending but left us open for the third. Apr 07, Cynthia rated it really liked it Shelves: Fifth Avenue Trilogy 2 Author: The common link between Hunter, Austin, and Alex is Sarah who jumped to her death 10 years ago due to Jason.

All three men feel guilty for wearing blinders and not helping Sarah, none could ever realize the true depth of pain she was in because of Jason. As we found out in book one Austin is Ja Title: As we found out in book one Austin is Jason son who turn his back on his father but could not stop wanting revenge. These three men team up along with a few women to bring Jason down and face justice. On the night she killed herself she pleaded with Hunter for his help he thought she was pulling his chain when he believed she broke up with him to be with another man Jason Treffen.

He asked another woman to marry him at a Christmas party that Jason was having in front of Sarah. A few minutes later she jumps to her death. He is guilt ridden and does everything he can to ruin his life. He has walked away from his friends and single handily lost his football career, he is at rock bottom and that is just where he wants to stay.

Zoe will not give up, Hunter goes along with her, and he sees something in her that he sees in his self the pain and sorrow. He is more than surprised to find Sarah and Zoe were best friends and even more to find she was going to use him to get her revenge again Jason not only for herself and Sarah but for all the women Jason is still hurting. They team up with Austin and Alex to help bring Jason down, along with fighting their feeling for each other. This book has a lot of emotions in it not all good it tells a story of abuse and finding your way out to a new life.

To give your old life a face lift and learning how to life again while getting over your past and getting revenge on one of the worse men who thinks he is above the law for he is the law. This is about all I can say without giving the book away. It was a wonderful read full of hurt, pain, lose and love. I have enjoyed reading the Trilogy watching Jason being taken down one peg at a time has been interesting.

All the cards are stake against him it will be interesting to see if Jason has the power to crawl out and get away or if he will take the fall and loose it all. He has already lost his family life and daughter and is not working on losing his business what else is in store for Jason should be very interesting.

These are three books from three different authors all about bring down one man. It has been wonderful to see the different takes of each author seeing their writing style and making it all come together to work on the wonderful story. I think the best is yet to come in the last book Expose Me when Alex gets his turn to run Jason to the ground. I do not know how long it will be for free it is at the time of this posting. Each story is a stand lone read but to get the full view and background you will want to read all three books.

Apr 24, Lindy rated it really liked it Shelves: Hunter was only ever in love with one girl, Sarah. They were together many years, and when she broke up with him, he was devastated. He thought that she was having an affair with Jason Treffen, and that was why she left him. What he didn't know was that Sarah never stopped loving him, and didn't want to see him destroyed by Jason. Sarah tells Hunter that she needs to talk to him, but he My Thoughts: Sarah tells Hunter that she needs to talk to him, but he is so angry that he turns her down, and says hateful words to her, that he will never be able to take back.

He even goes so far as to propose to a rebound girlfriend in front of her, because he is so angry. Then Sarah commits suicide, and Hunter is devastated. He is racked with guilt, and knows that he will never love another woman. Ten years later, Hunter, has been kicked out of the football league, due to his bad behavior.

He was a star quarterback, but because of self-loathing, and guilt, he has destroyed his own image. His parents, who are from high society, were devastated when he began playing football, something that they thought was beneath his breeding. However, now that he's brought scandal to his name, they have disowned him. Zoe was Sarah's friend, and one of the women Jason Treffan victimized. She is now a successful and powerful PR agent, who is ready to take her revenge.

She is a woman with a plan, and Hunter is at the center of it. Zoe approaches Hunter, and refuses to back down, until he agrees to let her clean up his image. She is a woman that doesn't take "no" for an answer, and eventually Hunter gives in. Zoe fascinates Hunter, and he is very attracted to her. She is the first woman, that has interested him in ten years since Sarah's death. Zoe only feels numb around members of the opposite sex. A fact that she attributes to what Jason Treffen did to her. However, Hunter, is the first man to make her feel. As Zoe plots her revenge, she never plans on falling for Hunter.

Things are about to get a whole lot complicated. I loved Scandalize Me! The romance between Hunter and Zoe was slow building, and the sexual tension between these two was off of the charts. These two used verbal sparring as a form of foreplay, and it was fun and entertaining to watch. I loved how this story wasn't just sex. It was really well-developed, and the main characters were solid. From the beginning of the story, we don't know how Zoe plans to use Hunter for her revenge.

This kept me turning pages quickly! I wanted to know what her plan was, and if it would work. It wasn't unveiled til I was near the end of the story. Once Hunter and Zoe began their sexual relationship, I could not tear my eyes away. Not only were the physical aspects sensual and passionate, but what I loved the most were the emotional aspects to their lovemaking.

It really was an intense emotional experience for Zoe. Hunter demanded that she dropped her tough act, and be herself. This forced her walls to start crumbling, and was a powerful part of the story. I loved the central message in this story! Once they met, they broke down each other's walls, and healed one another. Scandalize Me was a great sequel to the 5th Avenue Trilogy, and I am looking forward to the final story in this series!

To ask other readers questions about Scandalize Me, please sign up. .. In Scandalize Me, Caitlin Crews tells the story of Hunter Talbot Grant III, scion of society.

Given that I believe the series should be read as a whole, I'm going to review it as a whole. The story begins ten years in the past, when Sarah Michaels jumped off her office's building during a party. No one understood why Sarah was so desperate, but they had suspicions. After a decade, the secrets begin to slowly start coming to light, and another set of Sarah's friends. Austin, Hunter and Alex set out to uncover the truth, with the help of a woman who comes into their stories.

Each story is set up in the same manner. We have that book's hero doing his part to bring Jason Treffen, the man who drove Sarah to end it, down. We also get a heroine who is equally devoted to justice. Along the way though, the couple finds the time to fall in love and definitely engage in some kinky-ish physical activities. The story builds up to the big moment in which Jason Treffen is confronted.

The couple lives happily ever after. At least for now. Basically, in each book we have the two main characters, hell-bent on vengeance, topped with fears of betrayal, combined with a maybe-relationship, finished with a side order of whatever sexual delights that couple prefers. In Avenge Me, we get Austin and Katy's story. Austin is Jason Treffen's son, but there's no love lost between the two.

Katy is Sarah's younger sister. Katy obviously has the most invested in justice for Sarah. The two have an immediate attraction, and a similar taste for sex. She's passive, he's aggressive. It's a win-win, clearly. In Scandalize Me, we have Hunter and Zoe's story.

Hunter was Sarah's college boyfriend, and her ex at the time of death. Hunter was a hot mess which means his story was my favorite. Hunter has absolutely no fcks to give about what anyone thinks about him. Zoe is a former colleague of Sarah's, also a victim of Jason Treffen's, and she's finally in a position to get revenge.

She wants to use him, he wants to do her. I know I'm snarking all over this installment, but I did like it. The last installment, Expose Me, centers on Alex and Chelsea. Alex is now a respected journalist, and willing to use his talents to bring Jason down. Chelsea is the talk-show host who's going to help him. Alex has obvious reasons to do this.

Chelsea has her own dark reasons to see him brought down. I got the least out of this installment, other than the big finish. I think at this point, I wanted to finally see all the talk put into action. I thought the Fifth Avenue series was a cool concept, nice and scandalous, but I never found myself truly connecting with it, dying to know how it all shakes out with avenging Sarah's death.

I do believe it is necessary to read Take Me to pull the reader into the story, and give background. The series revolves around a lot of build up, a few revelations, some threats tossed around, with a fair amount of sexin' thrown in. It was all interesting enough, and I generally liked each story. The Fifth Avenue Trilogy is full of power and corruption, sex and scandal.

It delves into the dirty business of the wealthy and powerful. I would suggest it for fans of Scandal. I liked this one more than the first book in the series.

Full review to come. But beneath his glittering public image lies a manipulative man who runs a prostitution ring I liked this one more than the first book in the series. But beneath his glittering public image lies a manipulative man who runs a prostitution ring by blackmailing young women under his employ and was responsible for the suicide of their friend Sarah Michaels. Each book will be written by a different author, which kind of adds a unique spin on the series, and I'm curious to see how the continuity of the books will work out.

Hunter was angry with Sarah and he ignored her in her time of need.

Ten years later, Hunter hasn't forgiven himself for his part in Sarah's death and punishes himself by cultivating a bad boy reputation that pushes everyone away. Enter Zoe Brook, PR extraordinaire. She sought out Hunter with an offer to transform his damaged public image, and at the same time, use him in her own revenge against Jason Treffen.

But as Zoe got to know Hunter more, she realized that there was more to him than the dumb jock image he shows the world. When Hunter finds out about Zoe's plans, he knew he had to convince her that they needed to work together. One of my issues with Avenge was the characters' motivation for revenge that did not come across as well as it should have had, and I couldn't quite connect with the characters. But in Scandalize, I did not have that problem. I liked Zoe and Hunter's characters from the start.

I was able to empathize with them because I knew where they were coming from and why they made the choices they made. Like in Avenge, the focus of the plot was heavily in the romance and how Zoe and Hunter's revolved. Sure, I would have liked more of the revenge part--you know, them executing on elaborate plans unbeknownst to Jason until he's squarely trapped and another piece of his empire falls away.

Actually, that one confrontation scene with Jason, Zoe and Hunter felt rushed and anti-climatic. I wanted more drama from that scene, for Zoe and Hunter to do more and maybe a bit of blood, pain and fear on Jason's part. Hopefully, we'll see that and more in the final book. The thing was, I didn't quite mind that most of the novel was about Zoe and Hunter's growth rather than the revenge. Both had a lot of issues to work through, especially Zoe who went through hell under Jason's thumb.

I admired her character, that she was able to rise from that and build a successful PR firm. I really got into their romance and rooted for them to find their HEA both individually and together. I liked what Hunter did for Zoe towards the end of the novel, that he didn't push and let her come on her own.

I'm really looking forward to reading the last book of the series, Expose Me. All I gotta say is that we better see Jason Treffen get his comeuppance. It is long overdue.

Again the characters are all connected with a common thread: Sarah, the young woman who jumped to her death ten years ago, and Zoe is convinced that Hunter was part of the reason. For his part, Hunter has been racked with guilt over that fateful night, an on-again-off-again relationship with Sarah where in a fit of pique he ignored her calls for help, It was eas The second book in this unique trilogy story is penned by Caitlin Crews and focuses on Zoe, a PR professional and her work with Hunter.

But, he has taken a beating with the guilt, and turned that into a self-destructive streak a mile wide. I LOVE the concept - the slow unfolding of the story and the trauma that pushed Sarah over the edge, but the constant hesitation in place of action or dialogue between the characters, and their repeated need to second, third and even fourth guess every utterance and decision is annoying.

No really new or surprising information is revealed in these repeated moments, and while there may be a sense of the character, the perspective is one of cement shoes: For her part, Zoe does begin to see the guilt that Hunter carries, and his remorse begins to tug at her heart, Of course, they are brought together to bring down the man at the center of it all: Jason, father of Austin and a law unto himself. What develops is an attraction and tension between them that holds potential: Zoe and Hunter have a connection that may actually be stronger than their partnership for revenge.

It takes a while for their connection to develop, and with the pacing of the story it does feel even longer, but the potential is there, and once you are invested in this story, you do want to read on. I hoped for more action, but this is a story loaded with interior dialogue, insecurities and hidden agendas. A few more pieces are added to the pile, but the success of these missions is still up in the air: I was not compensated for this review: Jun 27, Jeannie Zelos rated it really liked it.

Interesting trilogy where each book is based around one person from the group of three friends who've grown up in the past ten years, and now circumstances are forcing them to look back on one devastating night where death roamed, and they ignored it. Now they want and need to make amends, and be certain that no-one else will get caught in that same trap. I read Austin's story and enjoyed it but with reservations. Certainly Austin's book helped me understand much of this one. Characters, well Hunter — we can see just how his guilt at so much has lead him down this trail of devastation of a brilliant career, but can he redeem it with Zoe's help?

That's a tough task for her, not least because she needs to persuade him that he wants his career revived. He's just killing time the way he is, turning a head in the sand approach to his guilt, and yet until he faces it I feel he can't move on. Zoe needs him though — he's essential to her plans to bring down Jason Treffen. She was another young girl who he lured into his wicked practices, she escaped, but even now his reach covers her and she's out to stop it, and prevent any more girls getting sucked into his evil games. Its an interesting read, I enjoyed it more for understanding the back story after reading part one.

I loved Zoe, she's worked hard, been putting pieces into place for many years. It would be easy to just accept Treffen's control and just work within it — but she won't, and she wants to do the right thing and bring him down and end the debauchery. The heat between Zoe and Hunter was searing from the first, but neither wanted to give in.

Hunter because he sticks to one off sex, is just apathetic and doesn't do relationships any more She's worked up from nothing and fiercely independent, and not willing to loose control as she knows she will if she gives in to her desires. Still, despite their best efforts the passions and intensity is too deep to be ignored. I haven't price or length info but from reading it I'd guess its around or so pages, certainly long enough to get into the characters fully, explore the story and provide an interesting read.

I really like the idea of three different authors, three different voices and writing styles, existing in the same world, and creating work that fits together in order to propel a plot line forward.

I really did enjoy the first book in this series, so I was looking forward to reading this book. I have to say t To read this review and others like it check out my site at www. I have to say that I did enjoy Crews' addition to the series. I liked both the main characters, Zoe and Hunter, they were both unique in their own ways, and in a lot of ways they kind of clash against each other because of their strong personalities, but it really works for them, they sizzle on the page. So Zoe has a past involved in the incident that ties this whole trilogy together, she knew Sarah, she was like her.

So she is out for revenge against Jason Treffen just like everyone else in this trilogy is. Zoe is working alone though, and she needs Hunter in order for her plan to work. Zoe is a PR specialist and one of the best in New York, Hunter is a despised ex-athlete who worked his butt off to make sure everyone hates him hey self-punishment can be a powerful thing. The thing is Hunter doesn't want to be rehabbed, he likes his image the way it is, it was well crafted by him, but Zoe intrigues him in a way that makes him feel alive again.

Zoe and Hunter are both very big personalities, and they both seem to really enjoy playing power struggle games with each other, it's really hard to tell who is winning the game at times. I liked that Zoe has taken her past and made herself into a force to be reckoned with, I like that she's smart and strong, and is willing to do what it takes to get justice for her friend. Hunter, well he is definitely an alpha guy, but he's also intentionally sitting at the bottom of the barrel. Yes he is charming, yes he is hot, yes somewhere hidden in his deep dark chest of secrets is a good buy; but almost no one gets to see that but Zoe, which makes it all the more interesting on the page.

My one complaint with the book is the passage of time. I felt like the book did not take place over a long enough period of time, or rather it didn't feel like there was a lot of time. For example a chapter would start weeks later after the previous chapter ended, but yet it felt like only a day had passed. Or there is the really long love scene which felt like it took up a ton of chapters and dragged on for days, which in reality was probably a very short period of time. Other than that, I think this book is a really good follow up in the Fifth Avenue series, and I enjoyed reading it.
