Review: Dangerous Exes by Rachel Van Dyken
SYNOPSIS:
Isla made one teeny little mistake. Now she and her PI company, Dirty Exes, are being targeted by one seriously angry and furiously sexy ex-quarterback. Jessie freakin’ Beckett. But there’s no way some NFL superhunk is going to take her business away. If only he didn’t make her so hot—and bothered.
Jessie wants payback for a ruined reputation. His plan? Top secret. His hard-to-hide arousal for Isla? Not so much. Especially when they let down their guards and sneak a kiss. Like any juicy scandal, it goes so viral, so fast, that only a good lie can combat the bad press. Mortal enemies in a fling? No way. Um…this is love!
Actually…could it be?
Isla’s not faking it. Jessie can’t. As the game of let’s pretend gets real, Jessie forgets all about revenge. That’s the problem. His plan is already out of his control. Now it could undo everything they’ve been trying to build. Coming clean may be the only thing that can save it.
REVIEW:
*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*
This book had me laughing out loud from start to finish. Rachel Van Dyken can truly do no wrong, from hilarious secondary characters, to obscene worst case scenarios, I couldn’t put this book down. Dirty Exes finishes with Blaire and Colin getting their happily ever after and I was delighted to see sassy Isla get hers. Isla is the strong, confident heroine we all want in a story. Her dynamic personality, quick wit, and filter-less mouth had me grinning non-stop.
Jessie really grew throughout the course of the story and his evolution as he found happiness was endearing. The banter between Isla and Jessie had me giggling at one moment, and blushing at the next. They were fire and ice, I loved the contrast they had. I usually am iffy about an enemies to lover romance but this story had me hypnotized. I was obsessed and adored everything about it. When they weren’t trying to kill each other, they were searing the pages with sexual tension. At one moment I was yelling at my Kindle for them to kiss already!
But the real star of the story is Goo-Poh because any crazy, old relative Rachel writes is pure comedic gold. Goo-Poh is wacky and had me in a fit of giggles every time she made an appearance. I would pay quality money for Goo-Poh and Grandma Nadine to make an appearance together. Seriously, this story was the perfect balance of smiles and steam.
