My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. Ruby and Em are my kind of people. When you are jilted at the altar, take honeymoon. Even if it’s a honeymoon couple cruise, you know there will be a hot single guy. Tada, the photographer, Max, was a hot guy that mowed Em over right from the start (Quite literally). This is a funny rom-com that will have you crying and laughing through their misadventures. You might even find yourself relating to some of their troubles. Heavens, I did. A fun, contemporary read with drama and a few twists and some unforgettable characters make this a book that you just can’t pass up. I’ll be putting this one on my shelf to reread and share. A new author to me. I hope to read more.

This one was a little disappointing as the synopsis sounded so good but did not deliver. I am all for a close girl friendship and I loved the idea of the two girls going on the honeymoon cruise after Ruby’s fiance left her. I was not too fond of the constant comparison to Ruby and the little pity parties Emily constantly had and then Ruby going back and forth half the time about getting back or not with her ex. Emily was too much in her head and lacked confidence, which bothered me. It became so much of the story that I kept rolling my eyes. The cruise aspect was a lot of fun, I have never been on a cruise so it was fun to read about what that could be like. I also did not like how much she was obsessed with Max at first it was very insta-love for me and I hated how quickly he jumped to I love you. His character was okay for me, he is sweet but i didnt understand him well. This was a few days worth of time and they immediately fall in love when the barely know each other??? Not realistic for me and I did not see what there was to love yet. The potential for the relationship was strong but just needed more than just sexual tension to get me to that level. I also really did not understand the need for the girls to be pretending to be lesbians. Ruby just kind of sprung that on Emily at one point and it didn’t make sense because, in the beginning, they tell the cruise director the situation, and it’s not a big deal that they are not a couple. I did not like the lying to Max and they clearly didn’t discuss it ahead of time so it was sloppy and just annoying to me that they came up with this story but then did not intend on playing it out and were just deceiving a bunch of strangers for no reason and then lying to the only friend they make the whole trip. The drama with the director was kind of fun for a little flare but it was over the top as well. I think this story has a lot of potentials but definitely could have been better. There are so many ways to write this kind of story and this just wasn’t the best one. It was a fun quick read overall but not my favorite.

This book had it all drama, laughter, and certainly a lot of love! I really enjoyed this adventure, everything felt right and fell into place perfectly as I read. Definitely a perfect read any day of the year!

Personally I really connected with Emily. Trying to be the perfect best friend, and has her own stuff going on. Her personality reminded me of myself. Always feeling second best in life was a great comparison to my own life! I enjoyed the random circumstances that occurred, and when you plan something, something else happens instead! The book had a lot of heart all the way through. And you cannot deny the love of a best friend. Defiantly was felt strongly with Emily and Ruby. I loved the author’s writing style. The reading was light and heartfelt. A great joy to read. Author was great at descriptions as well! Loved it!

Could not get enough of this must read book and author. Certainly will be reading more by this author as I just really loved and enjoyed this one! Highly recommend this must read book and author hands down!

4 Stars

Revenge Honeymoon by K.J. Gillenwater is such a fun read. This contemporary romance had me hooked right from the moment I read the title. And even if the title hadn’t won me over instantly, the blurb certainly would have sealed the deal.
This is a romantic comedy about love, loss, friendship, a honeymoon cruise, a little revenge, a fake relationship (with a difference), chemistry, insta-love, angst, drama, humour, antics, and finding love unexpectedly.
How to make the best out of a bad situation, and maybe strike at a chance for a little revenge in the process. When her best friend is left at the altar, Emily wants to cheer her up and suggests they take the honeymoon cruise together instead of letting it go to waste. Only problem is that the cruise is only for newlyweds…… but they soon decide on a solution- taking the cruise by posing as a couple. Easy right? But what happens when Emily meets Mr. Right? Yep, you guessed- you’re in for an entertaining read- now let all the mayhem, antics, and fun begin….
Happy Reading…

Thank you, K.J. Gillenwater!

What happens in the Caribbean, stays in the Caribbean…

Emily Small has a big heart, a loud mouth, and a terrible taste in men. She’s used to living in her perfect best friend Ruby’s shadow – but when Ruby is left devastated at the altar, Emily becomes desperate to save her friend from heartache… and salvage their non-refundable cruise!

But their ten days of fun are about to spiral into a crazy, messy adventure that risks leaving a few hearts broken along the way – because when Emily bumps into the ship’s hot photographer, Max Keeling, she begins to wish she could rethink their arrangement. If her deception gets discovered, would they boot her off the boat? But Emily can’t keep her hands to herself, and her cruise fling could bring everything crashing down.

How can she support her best friend at the worst moment in her life while pursuing an out-of-her-league guy in the Caribbean? And can she somehow find a way to have the best of both worlds?
