From the blurb:
Falling in love is the sweetest revenge.
What do you do when your best friend runs off with your fiancee on your wedding day?
If you’re me, Lyon Elliot, you don’t get mad.
You get even.
Which means seducing my ex–best friend’s younger brother, Miles Halloran.
The quiet one.
The man I’ve known all my life, but never paid attention to.
The one I was told to stay away from because he’s way too nice for someone like me. Maybe they’re right.
But see, this is where it gets a little more complicated.
Because the more time I spend with Miles, the more I like him.
Want him.
Now I need him and his sweet smiles in my life.
If this is still a game I’m playing...who’s fooling whom?
From Lambda Literary Award-winning author Felice Stevens comes a story of a player who never gets played, until the quiet bookstore owner gives him a prize worth winning—Love.
Lesetiger's Review:
Revenge is Sweet is a fantastic book that kept me very entertained.
Lyon gets a call from his best friend Dan on the day of his wedding. He grew up with Dan and went to college with him. And then Dan runs off with Lyon's fiancée. This betrayal weighs heavily and losing two people who mean a lot to you at once is very bitter. No wonder Lyon is out for revenge. And in his revenge plans Miles plays a big role.
Miles is the little brother of Dan. He is rather shy and quiet and he loves books, but he has a sharp mind. And he's had a crush on Miles for a long time. What starts as revenge eventually becomes so much more.
I loved Lyon and Miles. But Uncle Harry is a very likable character as well.
The author created both the main and side characters in a multi-layered way. And although there are of course less smypahtic protagonists, I loved this story. It is written in an entertaining way, I felt the emotions, but I also liked the development of the characters. It's about loss, about old wounds, but also about a new beginning and it's nice to see Lyon and Miles' relationship grow.
Kale Williams was brilliant. He did a fantastic job portraying the emotions very well. It was an absolute pleasure to listen to him bring the story to life.
