Villian (Hero 1.5) by Samantha Young

35595244The sexy and emotional companion novella to the New York Times bestselling romance Hero.

Nadia Ray is not just a broadcast meteorologist. She’s Boston’s morning television It Girl. Successful and independent, she’s put a past she’s ashamed of behind her and is forging a future she can be proud of. However, when her new boss discovers her secret he blackmails her, intent on using Nadia’s popularity to make them the number one morning show in Massachusetts. He wants her to be part of uncovering the city’s biggest scandal - a secret billionaire Caine Carraway is hiding.

Soon Nadia is thrown into the path of Caine’s best friend: sexy, wealthy bachelor Henry Lexington. But she doesn’t encounter the dashing high society gentleman Henry is purported to be. Instead she’s faced with an insulting and defensive villain who misjudges her at every turn.

When Henry finally realizes the truth, and decides to make amends, Nadia wants nothing to do with him. But she underestimates his determination and charm and soon they find themselves embroiled in an intense, passionate affair.

An affair Nadia knows must come to an end before their feelings grow any deeper and he discovers her secrets.

After all, Henry Lexington isn’t the only one who played the part of a villain once…


I love the book Hero by Samantha Young, I'd go as far as to say it's one of my favourites.  It's a brilliant contemporary romance novel that I fell in love with as soon as I read it.  So seeing that Samantha Young was releasing a novella, about two side character from Hero, I was very excited to get back into that world again.
And I wasn't disappoint.
Nadia and Henry clash to start with, but eventually concede that there is an attraction between them. 
I really enjoyed this novella, but kind of wish it had been longer- this is often my complaint about novella.  I'm always wishing they were more bulked out, and characters got their own full length novel.  I definitely think there was enough of a plotline, and strength of characters for them to have their own full length story.
That being said though, I did love the novella for what it was, and loved Henry and Nadia, even though Henry wound me up for a while.  Naturally flirty, he sometimes wouldn't realise that the way he was hurting Nadia.
Over all I would rate Villain 4/5 stars.
