Cheater by Rachel Van Dyken
4.0
If you're a reader whose hard limit is cheating, don't be scared away by the title nor the blurb. This story is not what you think it is; it's actually quite fun and sexy with none of the kind of cheating you think there is. RVD's brand of humor and playfulness is present as always, and it's a unique tale of a man and a woman, the most unlikeliest of matches, finding their way to one another.
Cheater details a man made up of his choices--one choice in particular. His consequence for that night plays out daily with his schedule of women. But with the addition of Avery into his life, things become muddled and covered in static. It's an unusual plot to a love story with these characters mired by the past and what connects them, but it works. The hilarity that ensues from a quick snowball of the situation gets funnier by the moment. Underneath the humor, though, lies the soul-deep connection these two share and I adored the way RVD carried us through their past and present.
I love stories of redemption and of true love, ones that have wry and witty characters, that ultimately show that faults or shortcomings aren't what make you you. Cheater had all of that and more. I know fans of RVD will love it, and everyone will love Lucas Thorn and the impossible situation he's in.
