Review
"One of those stories that you're hard pressed to put down".TheresaSmith Writes
I was fairly captivated from the start, intending for this to be my work lunch break book for this week,however, I got so into it that I kept reading at home and now I'll need to pick another lunch break book because Retribution only lasted for one day.
The ballet dancing - loved all of this! Jessie's dedication and drive to fulfil her ultimate goal was admirable.Despite being so single focused, she still came across as someone you would want to hang out with.
The hero - there wasn't much tonot love about BJ. He really was a dream personified, and such a gentleman! Hewas perfectly suited to Jessie and they complimented each other well.
The atmosphere - Diane's prose is a delight, her settings were infused with atmosphere, be it in the city or the country. She brought Melbourne to life so well and the Yass countryside just sang from the pages.
Whiskey the dog - I can't go pasta great dog character and Whiskey was such a beautiful, obedient, loyal dog.Plus, I used to have a Border Collie so I have a particular soft spot for that breed. I kept picturing my old dog as Whiskey, so she was always going to be a winner for me.
For those who read a lot ofromance and romantic suspense, this is a novel that will appeal to youimmensely. There's plenty of romantic tension and sizzling scenes ofanticipation. The issues explored were done so with sensitivity and obviousresearch. The suspense aspect of the story was well drawn out with a fewunexpected twists. There's plenty going on in Retribution and you'll find it tobe one of those stories that you're hard pressed to put down.

From the Author
Retribution is my first foray into writing romanticsuspense, a genre where the suspense element and the romantic relationship areequally important to the plot. I wanted to give a rich emotional depth to thestory by constructing complex character arcs in a story that merges the deeperelements of life, love and hope. Retributiondoes not follow the usual formula for this genre... It is romantic suspense witha twist.
Thisstory is my way of paying tribute to the people who have endured more thanmost. Those who have lived hellish childhoods, those who have fought for ourfreedom, those who have experienced unimaginable trauma and those who may neverrecover from their suffering. With the overarching theme of forgiveness andredemption, Retribution pays homageto the human condition in all its glory and misery.
