HEA
Can be read on its own.
Absolutely loved and devoured this book!!
How can one picture mess so badly with two people’s futures.
Clara and Zac were high school sweethearts, cruelly ripped apart by a situation manipulated by people that should have loved them enough to leave well enough alone.
Twelve years go by and both are back in their hometown at the same time, seems this time fate wins and the two are thrown together and the fireworks begin.
A fantastic story of a love that could never really be broken, two people torn apart finding each other again, revenge, love and a lot of laughs make this a truly wonderful story.
Reviewer: Natalie
“Easy Revenge” was a fantastic read, I absolutely loved Clara and Zac’s story. Clara hasn’t been home in a while, but a sad situation that requires her attention, means she is going home for a visit. She hopes that she will not run into her old flame, but as fate would have it, he is also home at the same time. Clara and Zac used to be together all the time, but some things happened and they split up, now is their second chance at love. When Zac wins a charity auction that he happens to pay big bucks for, Clara has to work for him for a week, and he is hoping for sweet revenge!
This book is loaded with romance, passion, some angst, and fun. Although parts of the book were sad, some bittersweet, there were also some parts that had me laughing out loud.
So if you want a romance that will have you turning pages quickly to see what happens next, this is the book for you!
I have been reading a few of L P Dover’s book lately and I’m becoming quite addicted. She has a way of writing that draws you in and feeds you so many emotions you feel like your smack bang in the middle of the world she has built.
Second-chance romances are one of my guilty pleasures and this one sucked me in from the beginning right until the end. Zak and Clara were high school sweethearts until life changed for them both when she travelled to Paris for a trip and never returned. Zak has never forgotten her and now she is back in town he is after some revenge on the girl who broke his heart.
The banter on this was witty and entertaining. the chemistry between them is off the charts hot with the sexual tension. Well done LP for a great read, definitely a 1-click read.
You will fall in love with Clara and Zac. I am a huge fan of second chances and this is a fabulous second chance romance.
LP Dover has been a fan of mine since I read her Gloves Off series.
I just love her storytelling and her characters are amazing.
Loved it.
Zak and Clara gave me all the warm fuzzy feelings . I am such a sucker for a second chance romance. Clara had her life after high school all figured out! Go away to Paris for 3 weeks and then return to college and her first love Zak. When a strange set of events happen regarding Zak and she isn’t able to reach him all plans are off. Clara becomes well known in the entertainment business and she has found it easy to stay away from home and the heartbreak it may hold.
Zak has always loved Clara but everything changes when she never returns from Paris. Zak has never forgotten his first true love and he has now made quite a name for himself . He soon discovers that she is back in town and he has quite an idea for a bit of light hearted revenge!
Let move ahead ten years and these two are thrown together at an auction in her hometown. He bids and wins Clara! Putting her to work on his farm is such an Easy Revenge ! This couple has such chemistry ! Their witty banter is so refreshing ! They are funny, sassy and the sexual tension is outstanding ! Loved their story !
One misunderstanding in Clara and Zac’s past takes us on an intense and wild roller coaster ride of heightened emotions; from sadness to irate. It’s a journey worth every single second. Loved these two and they are much better together than as enemies.
When Clara and Zac were 18 and newly graduated from high school, they had the world in the palm of their hands. Heading to New Orleans in the fall, they were going to begin the next part of their life where they were supposed to, in each other’s arms. At least that’s what they thought. But one photograph ruined not only all of their plans, but their relationship. 12 years later, Clara’s back home in Wyoming because her father was recently diagnosed with cancer and she wanted to spend as much time with him as she can. She’s not the only one who’s come back to town though, Zac’s back as well.
To make things worse between the pair, Zac just bid a large amount of money on Clara at the charity auction, and he’s going to put her to good use doing things such as mucking stalls and washing his cars. Even though there’s animosity between the pair, you can see that there’s still a spark between them.
Discovering the fact that they were forced apart by people close to them, they need to figure out if the spark that’s still there is more than a spark. Will it be enough to bring these two back together and let them have the life they always were meant to have?
Ms. Dover writes one heck of a book. From paranormal to contemporary, I haven’t read a book by her that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. Her style of writing, the characters, and the plot all work together to make one heck of a story that will keep you engaged until the very last page and have you wanting more.
*I received an ARC of this story and this is my honest and voluntary review.
A bit of a slow start but, wow, quite a journey. This story had me smiling, crying, and holding my breath. This was a second chance/reunion story for Clara and Zac, high-school sweethearts, that were separated because of misunderstandings. I loved how Clara took things in stride, determined to be strong but also willing to forgive quickly. Zac was a bit of a jerk but quite understanding outside of their personal issues. There were some steamy scenes once Clara and Zac got back together. I highly recommend this story.
I received a copy of this story through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
Easy Revenge is the first book from this series that I have read, and I can’t wait to read the rest. I loved following Zac and Clara’s second chance love story. I was surprised about who betrayed them both, but the book was well worth reading and am looking forward to more.
5 LOVE STARS!! All I can say is I love this book. Zac and Clara’s story had all the feels and I never wanted it to end. I could not turn the pages fast enough….it is so good. L.P. Dover is a phenomenal storyteller that sucks us into the characters world. You definitely need to read this book….so push 1-Click right now.
Easy Revenge by L.P. Dover is Zac and Clara’s story.
Zac and Clara were high school sweethearts 12 years ago who had it all and were separated by lies, betrayal, miscommunication and misunderstandings. Fast forward 12 years to now and Clara and Zac are back in their hometown at the same time. After all this time apart and the chemistry between them is still intense, amazing and electrifying. Their 2nd chance at love romance is filled with an emotional rollercoaster ride- angst, pain, heartache, anger, passion, feels, steam, twists/turns, betrayal, secrets, guilt, forgiveness, healing, love and happiness. The story is classic L.P. Dover – great characters, amazing plot, awesome background scenery and the chemistry that is undeniable between the main characters. Great read with beautiful, poignant ending.
My Rating: 4.5 stars ********
This story is amazing. Clara & Zac are absolutely amazing together and a couple that you won’t forget. This second chance romance will give you all the feels. Truly an amazing story with amazing characters that I didn’t want too end.
I don’t know why I went into this book thinking there would be an element of suspense (could be because that’s now what I associate LPD with) but I was surprised that there was none.
What this is a once lovers turned enemies second chance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Parts were so angsty that I was shedding tears and the banter between Zac and Clara was hilarious.
I finished this book thinking Clara and Zac are much much better people than me since I wouldn’t forgive and forget nearly as easily as they did. I loved this small town and wouldn’t mind another visit.
EASY REVENGE by LP Dover is a contemporary, adult, erotic, romance stand alone story line, a part of the multi-authored Boudreaux Universe series. This is thirty year olds, architect Zac Ward, and PR agent Clara Berkeley story line.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Zac and Clara) EASY REVENGE follows the second chance relationship between thirty year old, architect Zac Ward, and PR agent Clara Berkeley. Twelve years earlier, Clara Berkeley spent a few weeks in Paris with her best friend Trina but a phone call from Home left Clara heart broken and destroyed. Fast forward to present day wherein Clara returns home to Wyoming in the wake of her father’s cancer diagnosis, a return that will bring Clara face to face with her past. A charity auction finds Clara working for the man who broke her heart, a man who stirs something deep within our story line heroine. What ensues is the rebuilding but acrimonious relationship between Clara and Zac, and the potential fall-out as our couple discover the truth about what happened years before.
Clara Berkeley has never recovered from the heart break of Zacs betrayal years before but not all was it appeared to be. Zac believed Clara was responsible for the destruction of their relationship and the truth would bring our couple together but have the potential of destroying a family, and ruining a life-long friendship.
The relationship between Zac and Clara is one of second chances; a rekindling romance between two people destroyed by betrayal, vengeance, jealousy and lies but a rekindling that would reveal to what extremes people will do to tear them apart. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Claras parents Diane and Alexander Berkeley; her best friend and client Trina; Zacs cousin Savannah, and his best friend Drew, as well as his boss Galen Matthews.
EASY REVENGE is a story of opportunity and betrayal; good intentions, betrayal and acknowledgement. The premise is emotional and twisty; the romance is seductive and captivating; the characters are broken, angry, charismatic and energetic.
Easy Revenge is an amazing second chance story set in Kristen Proby’s Boudreaux Universe. From the very beginning I was drawn into Clara and Zac’s story. The story was setup from Clara’s point of view. The heartbreak and betrayal hits hard. When Zac and Clara are back together in their hometown, everything hits the fan in a way that will have you mad, laughing, heartbroken and falling in love with each of them. We get cameos via phone from Savannah and Ben. Clara and Zac find their way back to each other, but it isn’t a complete walk in the park. There are a couple twists in the story that I didn’t see coming, but they help answer questions that I had while reading. This story is so dynamic that I literally couldn’t put it down. I read this start to finish in one sitting and wanted to go back for more when I was done.
Nothing is ever what it seems on the surface …. #TRUTH!
This isn’t a storyline I haven’t read many times over so I wasn’t really surprised at any of the conflict. In fact, I saw it coming a mile away LOL However, most of the time, when you have a story like this, where you pretty much know what is going to happen you just don’t know the who of it all, the story can become a bit stilled and boring … not this time. So, props to the author for that!
I really enjoyed Clara and Zac. The story wasn’t angst filled. It was more humorous than anything else. That was a bit of a good surprise for me. We all know how small-town drama can be so ….. I appreciate the author not taking this story down that road! Overall, very sweet and enjoyable story!
Clara and Zac were high school sweethearts, ready to venture off to college together in New Orleans.
But when a supposed betrayal changes the course of their individual futures, they think the worst of each other. Resentment has built up deep within them both over the past 12 years, so when a chance at revenge appears, Zac takes it.
But with both of them harbouring so much hurt and anger at each other, it’s not long before the truth comes out, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Can they both get over the past and have the future they’d always wanted? Or will the revenge and deceit of their past ruin everything?
Yet another new author I’ve discovered through the Boudreaux Universe series! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book and am looking forward to reading more books by this author!
This storyline was strong, powerful and addictive. The characters feelings and emotions can be felt deeply as you read what they both went through, helping you to relate to them more.
I had a feeling once of the characters were involved in the events that broke them, but had no idea the extent to which everything happened, it threw me through a loop!
I really loved everything about this book from start to finish, and I highly recommend it!
