Synopsis: Clara and Zac thought they were headed for their happily ever after, until a break-up slathered in betrayal left them both jaded and vindictive.
Twelve years have passed since they left Wyoming, and during that time Clara found her calling at a prestigious PR firm in California while Zac moved to New Orleans to join his Boudreaux cousins at Bayou Enterprises. They thought they could forget each other and move on ... until a local charity auction in their hometown of Snowy Creek sets Zac up for the ultimate revenge. If he wins, Clara will be at his mercy, forced to work for him for one full week. Tantalized by the sweet taste of revenge, he eagerly ups the ante to claim his prize.
But what starts out as a week of filthy manual labor and bitter rivalry leads to a shocking revelation. Someone has been plotting for over a decade to keep Clara and Zac apart. Can the pair band together to uncover who? Or will their rift from the past continue to ruin their chance at a blissful future?
I've read pretty much all of this author's books and I've read all of her contemporary books! I've loved all the books that I've read, so I always look forward to a new release from her! I received an ARC of this book and started reading it as soon as I could! After reading, I can say that this book was slightly different to what I was expecting, but I enjoyed the direction it went in and what happened in it! The plot also developed at a nice pace and it kept me wanting to read on and find out what was going to happen next! There wasn't a lot, if any, action or suspense in this book, which did surprise me! I normally prefer my contemporary books to have a little bit of action or suspense in them, but this book didn't need any because it focused on the romance! There was plenty of romance and I loved the way it developed! It allowed for a few seriously hot scenes as well! The plot also only took me a few sittings to read and I really enjoyed it! The characters were also amazing and made this book even better! Clara was the main female character, and I felt for Clara in this book because her family were going through a tough time and she had come back to help out! This must have been tough for her because she didn't know what was going to happen! Clara also had a good job and had made a name for herself! I really liked Clara as a character and I liked the way she handed her love interest! Zac was the main male character and love interest of Clara! I loved Zac in this book! Like Clara, he had made a name for himself and had a really good job! Zac was also quite mean to Clara when they first reconnected, but in a funny way to annoy her and test her! He was more understanding when he found out why she was back and he tried to help her out as best he could! It was also easy to see that Zac still had feelings for Clara and that he always had! I loved that this book was written from both Clara and Zac's point of views! I was hoping that it was going to be before I started reading, but I wasn't sure if it was going to be after I read the synopsis! I'm really happy that it was written from dual point of view because it added a lot to the plot and allowed for a few more things to happen in it as well! It helped as well as the characters didn't spend every second of the plot together, so it allowed for more to happen in the plot and for me to understand how the characters felt about each other! I can also completely understand why this book is a standalone! The ending was left at the perfect place for the characters and it wrapped everything up! I now can't wait to read more books set in this world! I didn't realise that this book was part of a world where different authors were writing connecting books until after I read it lol! I still can't wait to check out some more of them! The cover for this book is also absolutely stunning and it suits the feel of the book! I loved it as soon as I saw it and I love how well it suits the book! The cover models are the perfect Clara and Zac as well! Big thank you to L.P. Dover for an ARC of Easy Revenge!
