A little white lie has the power to bring a reformed bad boy to his knees. Back in high school, Ann Weaver told herself getting ditched by Jack Bloom was for the best. At twenty-nine, she’s way over him. He was her first, but definitely not her last.
On weekly wine night with her friends, the talk turns to regrets—and Ann finds herself pledging to fix her past, starting with confronting those who treated her like dirt. Her first target: Jack, who’s recently moved back to town to stay.
But something’s different. He’s funny, kind, and amazing in bed. He acts like he really likes her, might even love her. Soon Ann is having a hard time remembering she’s only in it for revenge. Especially when she learns the real reason he dumped her.
Jack is older, wiser, and has a hell of a lot of experience behind him. For a chance at a future with this grown-up, gorgeous Ann, he’s ready to do whatever it takes. Until her true motive for rekindling their romance comes to light, and Jack must decide if forgiveness is enough to let love push through the lie.
Warning: A woman who’s out for revenge and encouraging friends rooting her on. May include sex in the outdoors, fun with salad, kissing in class, and a school teacher swearing like a sailor—not necessarily in that order.
Review by Natasha Gentile
I love a book with a jilted ex. I also love it even more when the girl wants revenge. MUAH MUAH, I’m evil I know, nothing you can
say can change my mind. And ladies, lets
face it, if you mess with us and jilt us we have already planned out your
demise. Which is always very painful and very slow, oh and it almost always involves
your penis, because lets face it, that's what always gets you in trouble in the
first place!!!
Back in high school, Ann Weaver told herself getting
ditched by Jack Bloom was for the best. At twenty-nine, she’s way over him. He
was her first, but definitely not her last.
So Ann is now a elementary teacher
in the town’s school. A small town since
she teaches her ex’s nephew. And I have
to say she is a better person than some because I think most would not be
mature enough to do that and not feel a little bitter towards the child!
She smiled and waved back. Next to him she saw Laura Bloom, his
grandmother, driving. Nice Family…if one
could forget about Jack Bloom. Even
after all this time she hated to think of him, but having his nephew in class
made it difficult to pretend he didn’t exist.
On weekly wine night with her
friends, Maya and Riley, they confirm something that makes Ann drink a lot more
wine that she should!
Maya tugged Ann to face her. “So, my day might have been bad, but yours is
gonna get a whole lot worse. Get some
wine in you.”
Dreading the bad news Maya looked all too gleeful to
share, Ann fetched herself a glass and sat back down. “Go ahead. Shoot”
“Drink First,” Riley ordered from the kitchen. “You’ll thank me later.”
“So you know too?” Ann took a sip and eased into the
couch. Better to be relaxed when getting
hit by a mental two-by-four, in her opinion.
Maya blew out a heavy breath and announced, “Jack’s back.”
Oh my lord, let the battles
begin…so what is a girl to do? I mean he
dumped you in high school for the class trash, umm I mean hootch, umm I mean
bitach..OK OK but she wasn't a nice person.
And he dumped you in front of everyone. NOT COOL DOUCHE.NOT COOL..So now
that we’ve established we are going to make him pay, what can we do to get back
at him..I know let's date him, have sex with him, and then dump him except..oh wait just
your luck he comes back better than ever…
He still towered over her at more than six feet to her
five-four. Short brown hair frames a
handsome face, from which his bright blue eyes blazed. Had luck been on her side, he would have
gotten slovenly and out of shape.
Instead, he looked muscular even under jeans and a blue sweater.
His teeth were so white and straight. She wanted to punch a hole through them.
Dude, this is going to suck so
bad. So now you've decided he is going
to pay for all his crimes he committed when he was 16. Ok, ok, I’m still not on his side. I know girl code. Must finish him, must make him suffer, but,
just but what if it isn’t what you think?
But something’s different. He’s funny, kind, and amazing
in bed. He acts like he really likes her, might even love her. Soon Ann is
having a hard time remembering she’s only in it for revenge. Especially when
she learns the real reason he dumped her.
What happens when the truth comes
out and you are both still pointing the finger at each other wondering how this
went so wrong! You're wondering why, when you've just served your revenge
cold, that you're left feeling empty.
Maybe revenge isn’t what the doctor ordered, maybe it’s
forgiveness?
