Product Information

abbie gets broken up with by her boring and controlling boyfriend of 4 years on halloween but when her friends come over and they start drunkenly swiping on dating apps, abbie spots her ex’s boss that he always complained about and vows that getting with him would be the sweetest revenge. except, he turns out to be a perfect boyfriend ok I’m obsessed with damien. Richard is an absolute douche and he deserves to rot and the pranks they pulled on him were absolute top notch 😂

the “petty revenge on an ex” trope might be tired and unoriginal, but it is also timeless and relatable. You want big and you want sparkle and you want extravagance. Not in price, but in love and adoration. And right here, right now, I’m promising to spend the rest of my life giving you that. Say yes and I’ll make you feel loved and cherished and appreciated until my last breath. Say yes and I’ll help you paint the world pink. Say yes and we’ll forever be completely consumed by each other." Guys when I tell you the smut is so juicy, I mean it. It's really toe curling potential tbh and I'm not downplaying it at all.You consume me. I don’t know how you did it, but I have fallen madly, deeply, in love with you. Every moment of every day is consumed by thoughts of you, planning the future, dying to be with you.” When it all is revealed at the Christmas party, I got second hand embarrassment bcos like we all knew it was going to crash and burn at some point. And then i expected her to have to grovel or at least SOMETHING. And nope. She runs after him and explains and all is well. 🫠 like it was cute what he says in that scene but like ??? Idk. If i expect the men to grovel when they mess up, the same goes for the women.

Their whole relationship starts out as her getting revenge on her ex by getting with his boss which I loved that. And they both weren’t looking for anything serious but as soon as they go out on one date and they sleep together, those “nothing serious” lines get totally blurred. And that suddenness just didn’t work for me here. So she does what every girl does when she's broken up with: she calls her friends, gets drunk, dyes her hair, and formulates her plan for revenge. It just so happens that the universe supports her efforts and gives her the perfect match to prove to her ex that he made a huge mistake: his boss. That is, until he leaves her crying outside her apartment wearing a Halloween costume, having broken it off with her because she's just not serious enough. She was just fun, he tells her - and now that Richard has becoming a partner at his law firm in his sights, he needs to focus on work. To be honest, this just wasn’t for me. I loved Damien as an MMC and the spice was top notch, but there were too many things about the writing style that bothered me to make this enjoyable.Abbie Keller thought that Richard Bartholemew Benson the Third would be her forever. In their four years of dating, she never doubted that she wouldn’t end up with his grandmother’s engagement ring on her finger. Sure, she had to change a few things about herself to fit that mold, like dying her hair, dressing more conservatively, and finding golf enjoyable (honestly the most difficult of the changes), but she was sure that at the end of it all, it would be worth it. That is, until he leaves her crying outside her apartment wearing a Halloween costume, having broken it off with her because she’s just not serious enough. She was just fun, he tells her – and now that Richard has becoming a partner at his law firm in his sights, he needs to focus on work. So she does what every girl does when she’s broken up with: she calls her friends, gets drunk, dyes her hair, and formulates her plan for revenge. It just so happens that the universe supports her efforts and gives her the perfect match to prove to her ex that he made a huge mistake: his boss. Abbie starts dating the founding partner of Richard’s law firm, Damien Martinez, with one thing in mind: convincing him to invite her to the huge annual Christmas party as his date. But when the relationship starts to become something more than casual dating and Abbie sees that the tough New York lawyer has a soft side, will she be able to follow through with her plan of deceit? Tis the Season for Revenge is a contemporary, grumpy sunshine, age-gap, Christmas romance. It is a full-length romance with a Happily Ever After that features sexually explicit material and profanity. This book is intended for 18+ Tis the Season for Revenge by Morgan Elizabeth – eBook Details RELATIONSHIP TRAUMA IS REAL! I liked how everything about the trauma is explained in this book. The way Abbie realized each and every messed up thing her ex made her do, now that she's not wearing rose-tinted glasses! When you're so in love with someone who doesn't like you being yourself, you sometimes compromise so much just to please the other person that you lose a part of yourself, and you're not the person you used to be. You start hating yourself, the things you do, and second-guess your choices because the other person made you feel less about yourself. All these emotions were present here. I mostly relate to Cam and Kat because as a friend who had this experience with a friend, I can 100% say it's terrible, not just for the person going through this, but for the friends as well. Personally, I felt bad and regretted that I couldn't do anything for her, and even though you warn them, you just have to stay quiet because they are the ones in love, and they won't see what you're trying to tell them unless they realize it themselves. I related to this aspect of the book because I've seen all this comparing and having no self-esteem shit in real life!

It was a very realistic, NON-REALISTIC book I've read lol 🤡 Some aspects of this book were very relatable, and this book was a perfect balance between cheesy romance and the sad, brutal truth of life! I have a really big rant coming on a serious topic though...So she does what every girl does when she’s broken up with her: she calls her friends, gets drunk, dyes her hair, and formulates her plan for revenge. The universe supports her efforts and gives her the perfect match to prove to her ex that he made a huge mistake: his boss. I really liked Damien. I loved that he showed Abbie what she was missing in a man who treats his woman right. Literally everything he did was very swoon worthy. Especially the scene at Thanksgiving dinner?? THAT was so sweet. When the relationship starts to become something more than casual dating, and Abbie sees that the tough New York lawyer has a soft side, will she be able to follow through with her plan of deceit? Abbie kept comparing everything Damien was doing with what Richard used to do and kept overthinking the worst-case scenarios and didn't allow herself to be HERSELF! The standards set by Richard were so engraved into her mind that even though she hated them, she hated herself more for following them. She was insecure, had no self-esteem, and felt bad because even though you do everything for the other person, 'YOU'RE NOT ENOUGH' for them. It gets super toxic that some days you sit and think that maybe it was you who did something wrong that they left you because.
