Another wonderful book from Greta! I have been anticipating this book for quite some time! Fake dating is one of my favorite tropes! 

Aubrey is a 47 year old bookstore owner and things aren't going well for her. Her life wasn't as sweet as she made it appear with her husband, who has since passed away. Rye Graves comes into her life and he is a bit younger than her. 

Ooooh boy, does he come into her life (wink wink). He propositions her into fake dating him and boy did it get steamy! Their connection was so hot and steamy. I loved their connection. Rye unintentionally brings back the woman Aubrey was before she married her husband. 

There's amazing character growth and I just love a strong FMC! You will find yourself laughing in this book, perhaps a little anger as well. I cried some happy tears at the end! So if you want a happily ever after, check it out! This series has me in a chokehold and I hope it never ends!

I've never wanted to throw a book as much as I did reading this one! The FMC enraged me so much! I just wanted to shake some sense into her. Regardless, it was a fantastic read.

I didn't want this book to end, so reading this one did take me a bit longer to read than the first. It was amazing and I am obsessed! This one had my heart racing and I sobbed at a few parts. I'm going to need the next book IMMEDIATELY!

I'm so glad I picked this book up! Listen, if you like female rage this is the one! It's so fast paced and I really enjoyed the authors writing style! It's filled with humor, it will make your heart race and the book will be hard to put down. I mean it's not very long, but it was an amazing story of revenge and a little dash of a love story too!

I really enjoyed this book! It gave off a female Dexter kind of vibe! The characters were interesting, Cordelia and her friend Diane have such a fun and loving friendship. The author wrote this book in such a way that I found it hard to put the book down! 

Cordelila wants to rid the world of bad men, and when she finds herself in an iffy situation I just had to keep reading to find out how she'd wiggle her way out of it! She was such an interesting character to read about! If you're looking for a fun thriller, please check out this book! It was such a fun ride. I found myself rooting for Cordelia. I really enjoyed the authors writing style.
