Easy Revenge by L.P. Dover is the story of Clara and Zac.
Clara and Zac were young and in love with their life planned out. But something happened to break them apart causing bitter and hurtful feelings. Now about 12 years later both have went on to very successful in their careers but have never forgotten each other nor moved past the hurt. When Clara returns home to help her father in addition to helping the character that he supports puts her on the charity auction block. Zac who has also moved away returns when he learns that Clara is going to be on the charity auction block. Zac feels this is his way to have Clara for the week doing hard chores to get some revenge back. But what they learn is that they are still drawn to one another and that what that though happened to break them up wasn’t it at all. Enjoyed this book.
Clara is one smart stubborn woman. Zac is one sexy alpha man. They have a misunderstanding. That cost them both a lot. There connection is off the charts. Could not wait to see what would happen next.
I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads, so here is my review.
Clara thought she had her life figured out. She was going to spend three weeks in Paris with her best friend and then when she returned home she would move to New Orleans to go to college and live with her boyfriend. Their life would be perfect. That is until that dreaded phone call.
Now 12 years later she has made a name for herself as a top PR person to the stars. While Zac has become one of the best architects in the country. Clara goes back home to be with her Dad during a difficult time and she helps them with the annual auction at the country club. It is where one family member offers their services for a week and the proceeds from the auction go to charity. Clara offers to take her dad’s spot on the auction block, she never thinks that Zac will return to town or that he would bid on her.
Both Clara and Zac are angry over the way things ended. But neither one knows what the other thinks really happens. Someone has been plotting to keep them apart.
But who would do that and why? Will Clara and Zac be able to sit and talk about what happened as they know it? Can Clara trust the truth and forgive who has been keeping them apart? Will love win in the end?
I loved a second chance at love and this one was great. Clara and Zac are perfect for each other and it shows in the way they handled things when they found out the truth. This story is filled with fun, laughs, heartache, pain and a love to last forever. I love author L.P. Dover and can’t wait to read more from her.

Can these two move past the anger and thoughts of revenge? This is a well written story which is heartfelt, witty, and with emotions which all lead to a sweet 2nd chance romance story.

Clara & Zac
Heartbroken, Clara’s plans for the future were ruined. The man she trusted with her future betrayed her and ghosted her. Or did he?
Twelve years later Zac was given the opportunity to get “Easy Revenge” on the woman who had broken his heart and changed his future.
Both of them returned to their hometown at the same time. She was up for a charity auction twelve years later. Now, she could pay for his pain. It might cost him financially but he had money even though she must not have believed he’d make it big to leave him back then.
After getting back at her, they both learn that all was not what it seemed all those years ago. How had it happened? Some more pain was involved in finding out. Had too much time passed to find their love again?
A good love story with fun characters including friends and family love.

This book will pull at your heartstrings and make you feel so many emotions. As the story unravels and we learn Clara and Zac were both manipulated, ending their relationship twelve years earlier. What starts out as a story between two emotionally closed off people, wanting revenge on one another in some of the most ridiculous of circumstances, becomes a sweet and sexy path to a second chance at love. I absolutely loved everything about Clara and Zac’s story!

A second chance to get it right. A chance to know the reason why they broke each other’s hearts. A chance at the truth and maybe a chance what they once had. Clara and Zac gives us a romance with twists and turns that draws you into the book. Lies and some fun revenge to get back at one another makes for a read that is more than entertaining it is passionate and romantic. A must have!
There is just something about L.P. Dover and her men that make you swoon and want more of them. Easy Revenge is one of them with a man like Zac, who has everything he has wanted except the girl that got away. Then we have Clara who has never forgotten about the man that broke her heart. Seeing them again and how cold Zac has become actually broke my heart and the way he treats Clara was in some ways not what I expected. Instead of actually hating him he was actually funny in the ways he was going about his vengeance making me wonder if he actually has a chance at getting Clara. The love is still there only stronger this time making Clara well wondering who really broke up with who. L.P. Dover did a great job between these two and a great part in the Boudreaux Univer, loved it.

What a fantastic and sweet second chance romance!! Heartfelt, witty, and real, I felt so many emotions while reading but they were mostly positive ones. I truly loved everything about this story from beginning to end. Zac and Clara had a huge misunderstanding 12 years prior that tore them apart and they went on their separate ways to establish wonderful careers in complete opposite parts of the country from each other. They have dated others in this time but neither has ever really been able to move past the love they once had for each other despite the hurt. A sad development in Clara’s life brings her back to Wyoming where Zac also happens to be visiting at the same time. Is it fate? Sure seems like it. Watch as this wonderful couple rediscover each other and rekindle the flames of their love that never truly died. It really is a fantastic story and so good for the soul!
Easy Revenge..is so sweet!
Clara and Zac met when they were young. They thought they would be together forever. When something happens to tear them apart will they ever find their way back to each other? This book is such a sweet read. What a great coming home story. It proves that true love never dies. I absolutely loved this book from start to finish. You will too!!
**4.5 Stars**
This story hooked me from the start with its intriguing story line….young love that is meant to be, but takes an unfortunate turn, altering the course of both people’s lives drastically for twelve long years. I could not put this book down. I loved that Zac and Clara both found themselves back in their hometown at the same time, placing themselves back in each other’s path, and though both seemed to be harboring some deep-seated anger towards the other, the flip side of all that anger, was that they were also holding onto a lot of other feelings, and their back and forth shenanigans while they worked through all that made this book highly enjoyable and kept me fully invested until the very end. I love that this book was both emotional and funny, and found it to be a great balance of both. I love a good second chance romance and L.P. Dover has done it right with Easy Revenge!!!
