"Abigail, I want to go anywhere with you. You said you wanted to be the cool aunt and travel and ... be consumed.[..]You consume me. I don't know how you did it, but I have fallen madly, deeply, in love with you. Every moment of every day is consumed by thoughts of you, planning the future, dying to be with you."

It’s Christmas and why did Santa not bring me a man like Damien.?!

Abigail decides to take revenge with her two bestfriends when her ex dumps her on Halloween. Who is her prime target? Her ex’s older boss.
At first she thought it was all casual, no feelings. But he wasn’t what she expected from all the complaints her ex was telling…

This was a fast paced book.
The chemistry was there. The fluff was fluffy and the smut was spicy.
I wished there was more because there were times I taught that some of the dialogues were repetitive.
And also the revenge plot. There are times I don’t like this “trope” because it is angsty and makes me nervous of the ending.

In this book, I was very nervous especially when I was approaching the end, but it is an HEA.

Abigail became very insecure. And I understand her. When she was thinking about all the red flags that she has missed while being with Richard, has me flabbergasted. The red flags were bright red!!
Thankfully, when she was feeling insecure, Damien was there and making sure she wasn’t letting herself down.

"What brings you joy, Damien?"
"Right now? It's standing right in front of me."

I like the perspective of Abigail when she is finally learning her worth, her strong personality that never disappeared.

Alas, she did find her soulmate.
