Review:
"Revenge: Urban Love Story" by J. Brinkley
My Rationalization:
All I can say is that I was really glad when Brooklyn Taylor was able to open her eyes and see the writing on the wall! The love of her life and father of her child, Tyrell Scott was truly one that had some deep issues. This author took his time giving the reader in 'Revenge' quite a captivating novel. This is truly what can happen when the blinders are taken off as it was for Brooklyn and the situation can spiral out of control. Yes, this is what can happen when one's heart has been truly hurt. And yes, that's why I wasn't surprised by that ending! So, if you are looking for a read with loads of 'drama, lies, love, and revenge,' this one's truth is for you!
