My Copy: Ebook from Publisher
The BookWhisperer's Rating:
Once
upon a time, I loved him.
He
broke me and he didn't even know it.
I
ran from him.
He
didn't chase me.
He
never needed to, because he knew I'd come back.
He
was right.
Death
brought me home to him.
Brett
Walker.
Drop
dead gorgeous and filthy-mouthed with a smile that turns saints to sinners.
A
casanova to his core.
My
ex-best friend.
And
the bad boy whose reputation precedes him—the same reputation I'm tasked with
turning to gold... Or so they think.
Revenge
is a dish best served cold, after all...
While I have loved Emma Hart
in the past, this book was difficult for me to fully throw myself into. Starting out a tad bit slow, you learn that
Lani is back in her hometown due to her grandmother’s death and she stays
because of the pending arrival of her soon to be niece. However, nothing can prepare her for the love
and hate she feels for Brett Walker when he walks right back into her life.
Like I said earlier, it
starts out slow and gradually builds over the course of the chapters. But for me it never hit that peak where it
hit the top of the rollercoaster and zipped down at full speed, leaving me
giddy with glee.
While I liked Lani and Brett
they didn’t feel right being together for me.
I felt like a lot of their interactions were less than mature. For instance, as much as Lani said she
despised Brett, she found herself constantly around him and putting up with his
annoying ways. And Brett was labeled a
playboy/Casanova throughout the book but he really didn’t portray that label to
me. To add on, we have two big
revelations that are building throughout the pages and I wanted-needed to know
what they were. However, when the truth
came out, it felt like it fell flat. I
was left feeling like I missed something; that it should have been bigger or I
just didn’t get the truth and why it was so damaging.
Casanova was a fun and quick
read but I think I was hoping for something different and didn’t get exactly
what I was wanting.
