Review: Cheater by Rachel Van Dyken

Lucas Thorn wasn’t born a cheater. All it took was a single moment—say, a certain disastrous incident on the night before his wedding—and boom. Reputation destroyed forever and always. So now he owns it. He has a lady friend for every night of the week (except Sundays—God’s day and all), and his rules are simple: No commitments. No exceptions.

But a certain smart-mouthed, strawberry blonde vixen is about to blow that all to hell.

Avery Black has never forgiven Lucas for cheating on her sister. And suddenly being forced to work with him is pretty much a nightmare on steroids. Of course, it does afford her the opportunity to make his life as difficult as possible. But no good revenge scheme comes without payback. Because he didn’t become the Lucas Thorn without learning a few things about women.

Now Avery’s lust for vengeance has turned into, well, lust. And if Lucas stops cheating, it’s definitely not because he’s falling in love…

 

I was drawn in to Cheater by Rachel Van Dyken from the moment I started reading. The story centers on Lucas, ten years older, and Avery. Lucas was going to marry Avery’s sister 4 years before but made a terrible mistake. Years later, Lucas doesn’t just date one girl but has a girl for each day, taking a break on Sunday of course. Avery and Lucas cross paths and are thrown into each other’s life again.

Lucas is a gentlemen and a complete ass at the same time but I really liked him. I felt sorry for him and cringed at his decisions. Avery is innocent and a little oblivious. She did have a great sense of humor.

It was a bit predictable but I did love the story. Van Dyken has a way of making me giggle over the things her characters say. The innuendos are great. She created great characters and interesting situations. I will most definitely be reading more of her work.

An advance complimentary copy of this book was supplied by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.
