The Retaliation You Deliver: A Dark Bully College Romance (Maddison Kings University Book 7) Kindle Edition

by Tracy Lorraine (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 1,271 ratings

When something seems too good to be true. It’s usually because it is.

A lesson I learned the hard way.

Every single fear I had about falling for Leon, has just come true in the most brutal way.

The sweet guy act he’s been putting on the past few weeks is over.

The cold, hard truth is... he never wanted me. He only wanted retaliation.

And like a fool, I played right into his wicked scheme.

But I’m not the monster he thinks I am.

Ten years ago, I might have discovered the horrifying truth, but I did the only thing I could. I pushed it down and tried to forget. Tried to survive. Afraid of what might happen at the hands of the monster who ruined both our lives.

But now the truth is out, and the secret Leon has been keeping for a decade is about to poison those he loves, sending him into a darker place than he’s ever been.

Healing isn’t always easy, it’s messy and painful.

The question is, beneath all the hate, will I rediscover the man I fell for, or was he always a fantasy?

Dear Reader,

The Retaliation You Deliver is the conclusion to Macie and Leon's duet and the final book in the Maddison Kings University. It's a dark bully romance that contains mature content and demanding alphaholes that some readers may find disturbing. You have been warned.

Full of emotions
ℝ𝕖𝕒𝕕 & ℝ𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨𝕖𝕕 The conclusion to Macie and Leon's story picks up where it left off . With an angry and confused Leon an a shattered and understanding Macie . Ahh I can't put what I want to put without giving anything away .. This story was an emotional ride . My heart absolutely ached for Leon. I'm also blown away with how supportive Macie is after everything Lee did to her . Im pleased with how well their story turned out . I just wish they were able to have a bit more of a hand in the justice they both got . .. Leon definitely deserved his HEA and I'm pretty happy with how his an Macies story turned out all in all .

    Leon and Macie have a past together that Macie didn't realize until Leon took what he wanted and then dumped her like trash. Will Leon be able to get Macie back once he realizes the huge mistake he made?

    It's always great to get to the HEA. I didn't want to out this book down until I got to the end, and I am glad I did. Leon and Macie deserve to have their moment/moments. It also gives us the wrap up of the interconnected stories of Luca, Kane and their ladies.

    Tracy, this is an amazing series. For me, you have become one of top ten authors. Your stories nor only flow, but they are interesting, intriguing and well written. I am engaged in your stories from beginning to end. Let's not forget that you write steamy scenes that are hard to forget. Enjoy.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2021

    While it was nice to get to Macie and Leon's HEA, I honestly wanted more. As usual, I had sent Leon to the irredeemable alphahole corner. He treats Macie abysmally. His past doesn't excuse his actions - that doesn't mean I don't want the actual villains punished, in fact, I wish they got it worse. I feel like Macie should have made Leon suffer a little more. I am waiting for one FMC to flat out refuse to forgive the bully an move on to someone who was nicer to them. Tracy does craft a redemption moment that brought me back around to maybe letting Leon sit on the bench - I'm still and at him.
    I do really, really want the Harris' stories.
    What exactly is going on with Reid and Allana? How do Devin and Lexi know each other?
    The entire Maddison Kings series was enjoyable. Definitely read in order.

    The Retaliation You Deliver continues just where the Devastation You reap ends. Therefore you need to read that one first.

    Leon and Macie work together. He wants to hate and destroy her but his heart has other feelings. How he deals with that is his mind is an excellent read.
    Macie understands Leon is more ways than he can hope for, she allows he to take what he needs but she also steps up and decide when it is too much!

    Reading and watching how they maneuver from the darkness to some light was excellent reading.

    I will miss these dark alpha from MKU!

    Reasons I enjoyed this book:

    Haunting, Page-turner, Steamy, Twisted, Wonderful characters

    The MKU series all together are on your toes, nail biting, screaming your motherhummer, b×÷#@ get your act straight but most of all heart throbbed swoon worthy books. It relates to actual life experiences for a lot of people.

    I have also read the Rosemont High Series which is also a Dark High School Romance. All of them are amazing, and there is cameo appearances from our favorite MKU gang. If you start with RHS then read the MKU series it kinda fills in some blanks with Luca, Keon and Shane. When Shane is mentioned in Luca and Leon's story. Again great series
    Ms Lorraine you did an outstanding job.

    This series really kept my attention all the way through, and epilogue tied up Leon and Macie’s story nicely.

    I see there a story for Violet and I’m hoping to get one for Ella.

    I see Tracy is going back for more stories in this world about the Hawks. They will be instant one clicks for sure 😁
