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.

Available on Kindle Unlimited!
I'd read this one last December and it has Legally Blonde vibes(one of the best movies ever) and when the heroine's lawyer boyfriend dumps her instead of taking her to a work party, she decides to get revenge by dating his boss!🤣 It was the blurb that hooked me lol and it surprised me in such a good way!⁣
So, Abbie is a make-up artist at a department store and she'd been dating Richard(the worst douchebag!) for almost four years and had done countless things for him(almost a personal assistant) while waiting for him to pop the question. But what he does is dump her before going to a work party because he found her outfit not serious enough. And also insults her by telling her that he was just with her for fun(seriously he needs to go into the dumpster).⁣
After getting drunk with her friends and making plans to get back at him, she goes on to a dating app and finds Richard's boss - Damien and has the perfect revenge plan - date Damien and get invited to their yearly Christmas party which her ex always refused to take her to, and show him that she can do just fine without him. But, what ends up surprising her is the attraction between her and Damien and how he seems to be a genuine guy who cares for her in all the right ways!⁣


I really liked this one just for the plot alone 😆 and though it's a holiday romance I don't think there was much focus on Christmas or holiday vibes in general. It was more of a funny, age gap romance (yes Damien is older) and it was way steamier(and kinkier) than I thought it'd be!🤭 That cover is so deceptive lol🤣 A teeny bit more groveling from Abbie at the end would have made this perfect but nonetheless, I really enjoyed this one and you would too!❣️✨
