Synopsis (Goodreads):

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?

Thoughts on Tis the Season for Revenge: Not going to lie, Abbie absolutely lucked out both by having her douchecanoe ex dump her and then in picking the absolute BEST dirty talking, sweetheart of a lawyer in her revenge scheme. The only minus she had came in holding off on telling Damien what was what after she developed some serious feelings for the guy.

To be fair, she did TRY to tell him. Circumstances and Damien kept getting in the way. And that was only because Damien was a little worried maybe she was starting to feel like they were getting too serious after they'd decided they were only going to have fun. And since he had caught some serious feelings for Abbie, he wasn't ready to have that conversation.

But that's another story for another day. Because Abbie and Damien? SMOKIN' HOT together. Like, so much heat. Abbie might have gone into her date with Damien with the intention of using him to show Richard she was living her best life on his boss's arm, but the two had so many sparks they just couldn't be denied.

BFFs, some unresolved relationship issues, a whole lot of pink, a man who doesn't need his lady to change a thing for him because he adores her just the way she is, and a lady who went in with revenge on her mind, but found her other half. GOOD TIMES all around!
