She should know better than to sleep with someone she knows, but she can’t seem to resist him. Mortified and desperate to escape the post-wedding drama, Amalie decides to go on her honeymoon alone, only to find the man who rejected her also heading to the same tiny island for work. But he’s not interested in becoming her revenge screw. She has every reason to freak out, and in a moment of insanity, she throws herself at the first hot-blooded male she sees. Instead of proclaiming his undying love, her husband can be heard, by Amalie and their guests, getting off with someone else. I look forward to future Hunting books in this vein.Īmalie Whitfield is the picture of a blushing bride during her wedding reception–but for all the wrong reasons. This isn’t the world’s lightest rom coms, but I did enjoy watching Amelie get her confidence back and Amelie and Marcus compliment each other well. She’s still writing funny romances, but the crude humor of her hockey books, which aren’t to everyone’s tastes, has been dialed down a few notches. I’ve been a fan of Helena Hunting’s for a while and I’ve been really pleased with the direction her writing has been taking lately. But the attraction between them is more powerful than Marcus can resist. He’s not a fan of leaving human casualties in their feud’s wake, so he’s long since given up dating anyone lest they get stuck being a pawn in a nasty game only one person is playing. He and his cousin have been in a bizzare competition with each other for most of their lives and it’s gotten especially toxic in recent years. Marcus should definitely keep his hands off of Amalie. Of course, fate intervenes and she ends up on the same plane and on the same tropical island as the assface’s handsome cousin Marcus. After letting the crazy out a little, she rallies and decides to stick it to the man by going on their honeymoon alone. The more distance she gets, the more she sees how toxic her relationship was and how much damage her assface husband has done to her psyche.
