A Taste of Revenge Kindle Edition

by Mercy Jane Porquez Ballesteros (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.0 out of 5 stars 8 ratings

She built an empire. They tore it down. Now, she's coming for everything.

Sofia Castrillón, a brilliant and driven CEO, once had it all: a thriving business technology company, MG Grand Business & Co., and a love she thought would last forever. But her world shatters when the two people she trusted most—her best friend, Ana Elisa Gaston, and her lover, Lucio Nieves—orchestrate a ruthless betrayal.

Framed for sabotaging her own company with malware, Sofia is publicly humiliated and ousted from the empire she meticulously built. Heartbroken and unemployed, she faces a crushing reality, yet a burning desire for justice flickers within her.

From the depths of despair, Sofia rises, fueled by an unyielding resolve to reclaim what was stolen. As she plots her comeback amidst corporate intrigue and unexpected new alliances, she discovers that revenge is a dish best served cold, and that love can blossom even in the most unlikely places.

Will Sofia reclaim her legacy and find true happiness, or will the taste of revenge consume her entirely? Dive into a gripping tale of ambition, betrayal, and the powerful journey of a woman scorned.

Review

"I loved how fast this novel was in its pacing. I liked the fact that we got backstory and plenty of descriptions of the world we were in, I could picture it in my head." - Texas Book Nook "It's a definite page turner, It gave me chills at so many moments and literally kept me up all night, wanting to know what happens next!! The characters are very finely developed and the author has taken the required amount of time and pace to introduce the characters and plot, part-by-part making it even more mysterious and full of unexpected twists and turns!" - Goodreads Reviewer"I recommend A Taste of Revenge as it is a great book for us to think about love, betrayal, and trust. Too me this book is a must for this summer. It is easy to read, and the action is well paced. You can expect a roller coaster of emotions. Believe me when I tell you that it is addictive, I have read it in a day!" - Goodreads Reviewer"The storyline in refreshing and author successfully enmeshes the elements of suspense and romance in this novel. The writing is lucid and the setting developed is immensely vivid. It creates an intriguing vibe and engages readers from the first page." - Goodreads Reviewer"This novel is a clear description of the world we live in filled with betrayal and uncertainties. I found the book as pretty thrilling, emotional, suspenseful and inspirational part of what I mostly look for in a book. Other than the uniqueness of the story, the author has shown masterly skills in writing by having complete control of her story and style. I highly recommend it to all readers as this is a must-read. I can't wait to get my hands on her other books! " - Goodreads Reviewer

    5.0 out of 5 stars Grateful I came across this read!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2020

    I’ve been devouring Romance and fiction novels in the past year. Still, I am at a point where nothing seems original. Yes, the words are different, but the context of the stories mainly rely on storylines already in circulation. Well, that has been the case until I came across “A Taste of Revenge.”
    I got the chills so many times towards the end of this book. It made me hunger what would happen next, so I kept flipping pages till the wee hours of midnight. This novel is told in the first-person perspective, making you connect with the intriguing characters so excitingly. Sofia and Ana are young women, who have everything any woman would dream of, both of them are good friends. However, as things got better Sofia's best friend, Ana betrayed her, and this led to Sofia's dismissal as the company CEO. It’s just unbelievable how a friend you’ve known for so long can turn their back on you. Betrayal is a feeling that can break up relationships and lead to bad decisions of vengeance. Sofia decides to take revenge against her friend and make her pay for her wrongdoings.
    This novel is a clear description of the world we live in filled with betrayal and uncertainties. I found the book as pretty thrilling, emotional, suspenseful and inspirational part of what I mostly look for in a book. Other than the uniqueness of the story, the author has shown masterly skills in writing by having complete control of her story and style. With twists and turns, a reader cannot ignore the imagination of the impressive scenes and much more than the story offers. I highly recommend it to all readers as this is a must-read. I can’t wait to get my hands on her other books!

    2.0 out of 5 stars Needs A LOT of work
    Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The story itself is good but the tone is too formal and uptight for my taste. I didn't herbs sense of passion, just formal rigidity, almost like it was written in a foreign language, then translated, and published. So many grammatical errors and frustrating inconsistencies, I almost decided not to finish it. If this could be edited and upgraded it may become worthy of a read. Kind of boring with all the formal speaking and no passion.

    The plot of the book, as far as I read, was interesting, but the language was at-best a poor translation from some other language. It just didn’t flow well and the tenses switched up all over the place.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Read
    Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2018

    A taste of revenge is a fictional tale about Maria Castrillon. She is the CEO of a successful business which she found ten years ago. Her friend, Ana Gaston, helped her in creating this business but their friendship hits some rocky patches when a deal that Sofia was making with a company falls apart.

    The problem gets worse when the company they were to make a contract with is to be owned by Lucio who is Sofia’s love interest. As the friendship between Ana and Sofia gets worse, the board members decide to take her off her position causing Sofia to lose what she held so dear.

    Things then turn when Sofia decides to take revenge and get back what she has lost.

    I initially found the book cover to be appealing. The story was told in the first-person narrative and was well written. The pace was steady, and I felt intrigued reading the novel. There was a sense of mystery and wanting to see how the plot will end that intrigued my thoughts.

    I found Ana and Sofia’s character to be very stimulating. The jealousy and rivalry between the both, I believe, is what made this book different.

    I recommend this story to fiction lovers and people who like to read women literature.
