AN ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT
One hundred years ago when I was young and impulsive (okay, it was five,
alright? Five years ago…) I let my boyfriend take, let’s just say…
compromising pictures of me.
(Shut up. It made sense at the time).
Surprise! The sleazy back-stabbing jerk posted them on a website and,
well, you can guess what happened. That’s right.
I’m a meme. A really gross one.
You’ve seen the pictures. And if you haven’t – don’t ask. And don’t look!
As face recognition software online improves, I get tagged on social
media whenever anyone shares my pictures. You try getting a thousand
notifications a day, all of them pictures of your tatas.
So. I’m done.
It’s time for revenge. Let him see how it feels! But how do you get
embarrassingly intimate pictures of your jerkface ex who double-crossed you
five years ago?
Especially when he’s a member of the U.S.House of Representatives now?
Getting sweet between the sheets with a congressman is pretty much every
political roadie’s dream, right? I’m one in a crowd.
Except to this day, he swears he didn’t do it. Pursued me for months
after I dumped him five years ago. Begged me to take him back.
And I almost did it. Almost. I was weak and stupid and in love a hundred
years ago.
Okay. Fine. Five.
But I still have the upper hand. Second chance romance has all the
emotional feels, doesn’t it?
I can’t wait to punch him in the feels.
All I need to do is sleep with him once, take some hot-and-sweaty pics of
him in… delicate positions, and bring him down. That’s it. Nothing more.
Pictures first. Revenge after. And then I win.
At least, that’s how it was supposed to happen. But then I did something
worse than sexting.
I fell in love with him. Again.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars


A second-chance romance about revenge sex? Brilliant! I was looking forward to Perky and Parker’s story after getting that tease at the end of Fluffy, and it did not disappoint!

It’s been five years since Perky’s ex posted a sexy pic of her that was never meant to see the light of day. It broke her heart, left her humiliated and betrayed and she’s never gotten past it. So imagine her surprise when one of the groomsmen in her pal Mallory’s wedding, Skip, turns out to be her ex-boyfriend!

Parker is insistent that he was not responsible. While Perky goes back and forth with whether or not to believe him, she ultimately decides that a revenge sex video is just the thing to help her feel better. But when she realizes that she’s still in love with Parker, will Perky call off her plan before it’s too late?

The culprit behind the video was predictable, but nevertheless it was a helluva funny ride. Parker never gave up when it came to getting Persophene to believe him, and there’s a lovely payoff for this couple. And…. The antics amongst this trio of friends is hysterical. I loved seeing more of Mallory and Will and hope that Fiona’s book is just as good…. but I’m sure it will be!

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
