Karma comes to those who wait...
Small town sweetheart, Sienna Mastrangelo has spent years dreaming of payback against her ex. Why should Aiden Carter-NHL superstar and global heartthrob-get to leave her behind while she picks up the pieces of the life he shattered? So when The Karma Club formed, it felt like fate had stepped in. Along with her new best friends they each had a chance to serve up some just desserts on the ex's that wronged them. But when plans for Aiden's comeuppance fall through, it's time for Sienna to settle the score!
Now, with a gorgeous Italian island wedding as her playground, Sienna has one week to make Aiden fall hard, beg for a second chance... then dump him without a backward glance. Throw in a few pranks, some strategic seduction-easy, right? Except their chemistry is hotter than ever, and as the games heat up, so do the long-buried truths...keeping her heart locked away becomes a challenge like none other. But when it comes to this hockey god, there's no way she's handing over the key again, even if Karma does have some plans of its own.
Settling the Score is part of The Karma Club collection but can be read as a standalone.

This is such a fun read. I am loving the Karma Club as these four friend get revenge on the men who hurt them. This time is Astrid turn and her story did not disappoint. I loved her chemistry with Blake. This is a slow burn romance with the perfect amount of spice. There's humor, emotions and a few twists here and there. This is a great addition to a really fun series and I can't wait for the next one.
This latest installment in The Karma Club series follows Astrid, a sharp and determined journalist who meets three other women during a snowed-in airport delay. After venting about their exes, the women form a pact: each will help get revenge on someone else’s ex. This time, it’s Astrid’s turn to take down Sienna’s heartbreaker.Armed with her media credentials, Astrid infiltrates the world of professional hockey under the guise of writing a PR article—only to find herself caught between twin brothers Aiden and Blake. While Aiden is the original target, it’s Blake who catches her eye (and heart), throwing a wrench into her carefully laid revenge plans.What should have been a mission of retribution quickly turns into a tangled mess of emotions, secrets, and undeniable chemistry. Astrid is torn between loyalty to her new friend and the growing pull she feels toward Blake. Can she have justice and love, or will one cost her the other?Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood books for this free advanced copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily
A delightfully charming hockey romance that is easy to read & relaxing! Four women come together & form new friendships as each discovers how their ex’s have hurt them. There is only one solution to their misery: insuring that karma comes to the men that ruined their lives.In the case of Astrid, an award winning journalist, she is ready to deliver karma upon NHL hockey superstar, Aiden Carter. Only Astrid discovers that Aiden also has a NHL hockey superstar twin brother, Blake. Aiden is the image of perfect while Blake is the image of dangerous & mysterious. These brothers could not be more different & their secrets & actions speak volumes. Astrid comes up with some creative ways to get back at Aiden, which brings easy laughter, however she keeps losing track of her purpose as she becomes closer to Blake. There is plenty of emotion & empathy in the book that develops between the three characters. Even with some of the concerning issues of the characters, Stewart keeps the story light & the reader wondering how it will all end. Add to the TBR list? Absolutely!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (4.5 stars if I could!)The Puck Stops Here is the third book in The Karma Club series, but don’t worry if you haven’t read the others—it works perfectly as a standalone. The prologue does a great job introducing how the women met and how The Karma Club came to be.This book follows Astrid, who is out for revenge on Aiden after the heartbreak he caused her friend, Sienna. But things take an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Aiden’s bad boy twin brother, Blake—and sparks definitely fly!I absolutely loved this book. It had me laughing out loud (the tanning incident is unforgettable!) and also tearing up as Sienna shared the reason behind her pain. Rachel Stewart did an amazing job making the characters feel real and relatable.Yes, it’s close to 400 pages—but don’t let that scare you. The pacing is excellent, and the writing pulls you in right away. You’ll fly through it without even realizing.Now I have to go back and read the first two books to see how The Karma Club worked their magic before. And I’m already counting down to Sienna’s story!Thank you to Boldwood Books and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced reader's copy.
The penultimate book of the Karma Club series. Astrid heads to New York to get “revenge” on Sienna’s ex Aiden. But she ends up falling for his twin brother instead and fails in her plans to make Aiden fall and then her leave him wanting. It’s a somewhat fun story if not incredibly predictable. What really bothered me most about this entire series was that three characters are British and the rest American, but it’s not really written as if they’re American. They use very British phrases and terms constantly, it’s just lazy writing or editing.
