Review: Dirty Exes by Rachel Van Dyken
SYNOPSIS:
They’re serving up some red-hot revenge. A sizzling series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel van Dyken.
Blaire has never quite gotten over Jessie Beckett, the ex–NFL star whose kisses were hot enough to ignite the entire Eastern Seaboard. When he chose work over her, Blaire was left brokenhearted. Why else would she have married a skeezy two-timer, just to divorce him less than a year later?
Now Blaire is getting even by becoming one half of Dirty Exes, a PI firm fully committed to humiliating cheating jerks. If only the new jerk she’s been hired to uncover wasn’t Jessie Beckett himself.
Exposing Jessie isn’t going to be easy, especially when she still daydreams about his sexy smile. Further complicating matters is Colin, Jessie’s best friend. He’s gorgeous, a little bit cunning, and willing to help Blaire get the inside scoop on Jessie—for a price.
Now caught between two men—one totally right and the other totally wrong—Blaire will need to decide just how much she’s willing to risk…and whom she’s willing to risk it for.
REVIEW:
*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*
Okay, true confession, I read the end of the book before starting it. Now before you start throwing stones at me, I swore off love triangles after my Twilight and Hunger Games days because I always, ALWAYS, without fail, ship the wrong man. EVERY TIME, and then it breaks my heart when the happily-ever after is not the happily-ever after I wanted.
So I spoiled the book for myself but that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the hell out of reading it! As always, Rachel is such a dynamic author, and one of my favorite things about her and the 30+ books of hers I have read is that she ties in back stories. There are always surprise characters and references that, if you are a die-hard fan like myself, you will recognize and smile. Now after reading and seeing the synopsis and cover, I was 100% hooked.
As I started to read the story, the charisma and charm of the story captivated me. What a fun read, scorned women getting revenge by exposing exes?! Hilarity ensued and Rachel artfully balanced it with plenty of swoon and heart-felt moments. Now I won’t ruin the story but I will say how everything panned out left me with a big cheesy grin on my face. It was just a feel good read, it’s not going to weigh heavy on my mind or heart but a read that left me smiling and anxiously awaiting the next book. Classic RVD.
