Review: The Revenge Agenda by Saxon James
SYNOPSIS:
Rush
When I show up to surprise my boyfriend in a barely-there festive outfit, I’m expecting him to be alone.
Not hosting family.
His fiancé’s family.
Down one boyfriend and up a lot of embarrassment, I flee with my tail between my legs. The broken heart will fade. My humiliation, not so much, but my saving grace is the fact that I never have to see either of them ever, ever again.
Until I walk into work and come face to face with my new boss.
Hunter
I never, in a million years, would have guessed the man hiding under his desk at work would be the one person I hoped to never see again.
My ex-fiancé’s side piece.
Apparently I can’t fire the guy because of personal issues, so I try to play nice, which is a whole lot harder to do when I find out my ex is still texting Rush. The same ex I haven’t heard from since I walked out on his begging.
Rush tells me he didn’t know about me. He tells me there were others. He also tells me our ex still wants him and so, we come up with a plan. To show him what it feels like when you want someone who doesn’t want you back.
All we need is a camera. His number. And one shared kiss.
Revenge has never been sweeter.
REVIEW:
*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*
The found family is easily the best part of this entire book. There is just something so positively endearing and charming about the residents of Big Bertha that you can’t help but love. The endless support; even when they may not exactly understand each other, had me swooning as much as the the actual romance between Rush and Hunter did.
I don’t think I have ever read a trope quiet like this and I am still on the fence as it if I love or if I could leave it. Two jilted exes to same man who start off out for revenge and then fall for each other? The boss and employee aspect added another layer of complexity. I guess lets start with Rush and his ADHD, the representation here is absolutely beautiful. You can tell that Saxon put in the work and the research to get this right; Rush is a beautiful, chaotic storm that I can’t look away from. Initially I was leery of Hunter but I quickly warmed up to him and once you set aside the garbage dump that is Ian; Hunter and Rush just work together. They lift each other up which is what I want to see in couples, they grow stronger.
Now don’t get me wrong, the story isn’t all tender moments, Saxon manages to add plenty of heat. I think my only problem is the issue of Ian lingers longer than I would like. I wanted justice for Hunter and Rush. After all they’ve been through, they deserve it. Side note, if you have read the other stories in the Accidental Love Series, at this point my only complaint is Saxon is 100% going to save sweet Xander’s story for last and to be honest, I wanted it 2-3 books ago! *Patiently, not so patiently waiting*
