How to Get Even

What a great enemies to lovers romance. I love the friendship of the women in the Karma Club. I really liked Bella. She was pretty ruthless with some of the things she came up with for revenge against Chase. Chase was kind of a bruty jerk for most of the book. It took me a little bit to warm up to him. Bella and Chase had great chemistry. I loved how they helped and encouraged each other. This was a fun read and a great addition to the series.

Brilliant writing, characters with depth and humanity. Their flaws are believable and how they come to the end of the story is very entertaining.The little attempts to sabotage are wicked and the banter between the two is just a hair from rivalry to lust. The steam was perfect and adequate for the story. Easily skippable if not your thing.

Bella Carmichael has just faced an extremely distressing event in her life and is still trying to recover. Her sweet tooth leads her to form an unlikely friendship with three perfect strangers, each dealing with their own struggles. Together, they hatch a plan to get payback on those who have turned their lives upside down. As Bella and her new friends support each other through their revenge schemes, life throws unexpected curveballs. After all, as the saying goes, "when people plan, God laughs." Bella soon discovers that sometimes plans don’t go as expected, especially when the man she’s targeting for revenge might just be her perfect grumpy match.

How to Get Even is the second book in a new multi-author series, The Karma Club. The series is a spicy revenge romance and is perfect for fans of Olivia Goldsmith’s The First Wives Club and Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game. How to Get Even should be read after The Payback Plan for the stories to make sense.26-year-old Bella Carmichael is stranded at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport due to a snowstorm and hangs out at Just Desserts, a sweets shop. She shares a table with three other stranded female travelers, and the ladies bond over prosecco and desserts. They share their tales of heartbreak and woe, and devise a scheme whereby each lady will seek revenge on another lady’s ex. The plan is to cause chaos in each heartbreaker’s life, not irreparable harm.Six months ago, Bella was left at the altar by her groom, Olly Prendergast, who jilted her via text. Paige Parker is returning to England to spend Christmas with her mother. Bella arranges for her to stay with her ex-fiance, Olly, for a few weeks at his father’s place in Cornwall. Paige and Olly’s story is The Payback Plan, which must be read first.It's decided that Bella will take revenge on Chase Miller, the married man who broke Astrid’s heart. Chase is a famous painter who is currently starting up an art gallery in New York City. Bella has been exiled in Paris for the past six months since her wealthy parents were embarrassed by her wedding fiasco. She was supposed to start work at their charitable foundation but delayed it to secure a job at the art gallery. Bella quickly becomes invaluable to the team and becomes invested in making the opening of the art gallery a success. She also realizes that Chase is not the villain that Astrid believed, and she must decide if she wants to continue the revenge plot. Additionally, Bella suspects that Paige is falling for Olly and has to deal with those emotions.How to Get Even is an emotional enemies-to-lovers rom-com with engaging characters. While readers can predict the overall storyline, they will be engrossed by how Bella’s character changes course over the story. Refined Bella reveals her hidden cunning side and inflicts comical revenge on Chase, then changes gears and tries to redeem him. There’s suspense as readers wonder if the gallery will be able to open and will Bella’s revenge scheme get discovered. The characters are very well developed, so that the reader really roots for their happiness. The side characters at the art gallery are a very diverse group, so most readers should be able to identify with one of them. The author’s descriptions are so clear that it’s like watching a movie.How to Get Even does contain some profanity sprinkled throughout the story and an open-door sex scene. It’s similar in spice level to Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game. I’m now anxious to read Astrid’s story, which is The Puck Stops Here by Rachael Stewart. I really hope that this Karma Club series can be made into a movie or TV series.I received an Advance Review Copy (ARC) from NetGalley and Boldwood Books for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
