I enjoyed this sports romance story. This is an author that continues to impress me with her writing skills and her attention to details. I enjoyed being pulled in right from the beginning. The characters are connectable and they made the story enjoyable to read. This is an engaging story that kept me turning pages. This is a story that puts the theory of opposites attract to the test. Jordan is a well known basketball star and Tessa is not used to all the glamor and glitz that follow Jordan. Will they find a middle and get a HEA? Their chemistry is strong even if they are opposites. I found myself hoping they would find the happiness they so deserved. This was a great romance story that I would highly recommend.

Yikes! This story is a rolling hill of ups and downs. I loved the main characters then didn’t understand them back to aww that is so cool/sweet. Jordan comes off like a major player in the beginning and I didn’t like him. I just keep waiting for the shoe to drop….it seems weird he would give up the every night female companions and not go back to it. But I have been surprised by characters before and so far he has me baffled. It almost seems like he is looking for different….wanting to go against the grain.
Overall the story drew me in like a car crash. I couldn’t stop reading. The characters are late college age and still act it. Drama, parties and lots of sex. While I am not a fan of duets I do enjoy this author’s work so decided to give it a try.

Don’t miss out on a story that will have you hooked and not wanting to put it down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

Breaking Tessa: A College Sports Romance by T. Christensenis the first book in a new duet, and as the title would suggest, a college sports romance. This is a YA/new adult romance- with a snapshot of college life, basketball, drama, angst, emotion, opposites attract, and a bit of a cliffhanger ending. It took me a little bit to warm up to Jordan and Tessa- I really can’t pinpoint exactly why, but I was interested in the outcome of the story all the same. I am hoping that they will win me over in book two. The characters were well developed, fully realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws which helped to make the story come to ‘life’. Waiting on book #2 to see how things will play out.

He lives his life in the spotlight. She avoids it at all cost.
College basketball star Jordan Davis gets recognized everywhere he goes. Senior Tessa Parker survives by keeping her head down. Both are from San Jose, but they may as well be from different planets. Tessa grew up in the inner city, a long way from the glitz and glamour of Jordan’s life.
It’s a classic case of opposites attract, but real life doesn’t work that way. Tessa isn’t comfortable in Jordan’s world, and the people in it don’t want her there.
Scroll up and get your copy! Breaking Tessa is a new adult college romance. It is intended for mature readers and ends with a cliffhanger.
Christensen has been addicted to reading ever since she read her first romance book in middle school. When different characters and scenes started invading her brain she would write them down and put it away. Gradually she took the steps to give them a beginning, middle, and a happily ever after. It has been a long time dream to have her stories published.has been a lifelong resident of South Dakota. Occasionally she ventures out, but being at home, with her family, is always the best place to be. Reading a romance novel is still the best reward at the end of the day.

Humiliating Revenge is a Young Adult Romance by T. Christiensen. This book had so many different elements to it, it was difficult to pinpoint which element was my favorite. The relationship between the main characters and how their relationship unfolds is definitely an interesting one. I won’t give that away because I would hate to ruin one of the best parts of the book. Also, the main character’s relationship with her father is relatable to anyone who has ever gone through any kind of domestic violence. I think it is important that we see these kinds of relationships in literature more often so that it brings them to light. I like how the author addressed the situations. The “steamy” parts of the book, I felt, were absolutely perfect for a Young Adult romance. When reading a young adult romance I look for a certain level of steam and romance, but not too much and this book delivered perfectly! I would highly recommend this book.

Humiliating Revenge: Contemporary Young Adult Romance by T. Christensen was an emotional read. I had tears while reading most of this book. There were plenty of moments as a third party observer where I just wanted to resolve the issue, I got super invested in Calum and Olivia. I usually go for light hearted reads but it’s books with themes like this that end up really staying with.It brings to mind the whole thought of don’t judge a book by it’s cover. This was definitely a heavy book but the ending and lessons that both characters learn really make it worth the time and investment.

Humiliating Revenge is the first book I’ve read by T. Christensen and for that reason, I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. I was afraid this book would be a lot like most second chance Romance stories but it really was an emotional rollercoaster. There was a lot more depth to the characters and storylines than I was anticipating. The book itself really exceeded my expectations. I found myself interested from the very first page and my interest never faded. After reading this 4 star book, I would definitely read more from this Author in the future.

Christensen – Review by Felicia Bates
A story about a young love cut short, full of regret when they come face to face several years later. Olivia Crawford seems very uncomfortable in her own skin. There is so much Olivia worries about as a daughter who is abused with very few she can consider a friend.
Calum Breen was the guy that was dumped, who works hard to become an MMA fighter and come home to show the girl who humiliated him how well he is doing now. The interactions between the older Calum and Olivia starts to show him that maybe he missed something back in high school.
The story was well written and I appreciate how the author showed growth and change in the characters.

Humiliating Revenge: Contemporary Young Adult Romance by T. Christensen is a good, entertaining read. This starts with the typical girl dumps boy, and he remakes himself to return bigger and better. Luckily, the author takes this and runs further and deeper with this storyline. The characters are complex and multidimensional. I enjoyed the story and the characters. People were deeper than I first thought and this helped to propel the story. I enjoyed the fact that I was surprised by the story because my first assumptions were this would be a typical cookie cutter story. There was good character development and story development. This is a good romance if you like Alpha males and strong, determined females. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

Humiliating Revenge: Contemporary Young Adult Romance by T. Christensen
5-Stars
Humiliating Revenge: Contemporary Young Adult Romance by T. Christensen was so much more than I expected. Main character Olivia is ready to let go of her past with Calum until he shows up at the bar she is working at. He uses this opportunity to seek revenge but instead of it stopping there, secrets begin to surface and there is confusion. Is Olivia really the batch everyone thinks she is, or did Calum actually see the real person beneath the façade?
I was in tears at times while reading this book. I hurt for Olivia and what she struggled with. Her secret was huge and the life she grew up loving with her dad? Wow. I was so angry, sad, and frustrated at times but she was selfless. Calum irritated me at the start of the novel but as time went on my opinion changed. By the end of this book I was in love with them! I also might mention that I read this in one sitting. It wasn’t planned but when I started this book; I couldn’t stop. I highly recommend this novel.

This was my first book by Author T. Christensen. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect and to be honest I was expecting the worst from Calum the whole book. “In case you haven’t noticed you are the one waiting on me hand and foot. Did Daddy finally come to his senses and realize you weren’t a princess, but a selfish, vain stuck up b**ch?” This is a story about Olivia Crawford, the mayor’s daughter who falls for the “mechanic’s son” Calum Breen. **If you have an aversion to child abuse please be aware this could cause triggers**.

Christensen – Review by Meg Tyrrell
Humiliating Revenge is a contemporary romance novel by T. Christensen. Olivia is in love with Calum, she always has been since their painful break up 4 years before. Olivia broke Calum’s heart but what he doesn’t know is she also broke her own in the process. Now he is back in her life, but things have changed. Neither of them are the same as they were before. Calum is a hardened fighter, at the top of his game in MMA and he is after his revenge. He is back in town and isn’t going to let Olivia forget what she did to him, but he doesn’t know the whole story.
Humiliating Revenge is a wonderful romance novel, your heart breaks for the characters and what they have been through. I wanted to stand up for Olivia and scream at Calum for not noticing. I give a massive thumbs up to any book that can pull me in that way. Definitely recommend to other lovers of this genre.

Christensen – Review by Juls Dick
When your dumped in the most humiliating way in high school from the girl you thought you would spend the rest of your life with it cuts you to the bone, but when Calum comes back to his home town to confront the spoilt brat Olivia something is just not right but Calum can’t quite put his finger on it.
Olivia has a secret that nobody knows, she had to let Calum go although’s many years ago to protect him and his family. The hurt from that day stays with her always but he will be the only boy/man she will ever truly love.
The story opens a few years on from High School when Olivia goes to see Calum in his first major MMA fight near her home town but this is no reunion she is in the shadows as she has always been watching his career, he has never left her heart but they just can’t be together or he and his family will be in peril.
Calum decides to track Olivia down to humiliate her just as she did although’s years ago in school, making him think he was not good enough for her but now he has the money and the celebrity he will show her and rub that stuck up nose it. Once he locates her in the local bar working something does not seem right, with the feelings for her still strong he tries to rekindle the relationship but with Olivia blowing hot and cold all the time he can’t quite put his finger on it.
I loved this story, the vulnerable side to Olivia your heart could just break for her, wishing Calum would take that big head of his out of his backside and see the whole story but of course it takes his Dad to bring the whole thing to light. I would love to have learnt what happened to Mayor Crawford and how the relationship between Shelly and Eric turns out but I will have to read more of the stories to find out if this continues. I thought the whole telling of the interactions between Olivia and her father were hard to read but the writing was brilliant. I look forward to reading more by this author and recommend this story.

Christensen – Review by Angela Shirley
This contemporary YA romance by author T. Christensen sent me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading it, it’s so much more than an enemies to lovers story. The book had me hooked from page one due to its fast paced storyline and great characters. Rich, snooty, spoiled town princess Olivia Crawford was ‘famous’ for being all those things whilst Calum Breen was the easy-going, adored high school athlete. Having been childhood sweethearts, Olivia then not only ended the relationship with Calum but did so in such a way that his humiliation at her hands and anger drove him away and he joined the MMA. Now successful as a MMA fighter, Calum is back in town and as he is no longer the love struck boy he once was is determined to get his revenge on Olivia. However the more he learns about the mayors daughter the more he realises things are not as they seem. This book definitely has a “Hot Alpha Male and a Determined Heroine”, I loved Olivia and Calum as the main characters and their chemistry sizzled off the page leading to some steamy moments. I thought the storyline of Olivia being abused by her controlling father was dealt with sensitively and realistically and gave the story added depth than just another teenager romance. The book was full of twists and turns and unexpected secrets coming to light which kept me turning the pages and I was immersed in Olivia and Calum’s world. I was cheering them on to a HEA. A great read and the first book I’ve read by this author and I now look forward to reading other books by T. Christensen.

It took me a few chapters to get into this book, but once I did, it hooked me. The one thing that could have been different is that, while I love a good sex scene, the ones in this book seemed to go on for too long. Or, maybe it was just the timing or the way they are written that throws you out of the moment. I think this particular story could have carried itself without the extended physical interaction.
The characters and the plot are great. You get emotionally invested in the push and pull between Olivia and Calum as they start unraveling the past. The villain character is disturbing and is part of what truly makes this story so intense.

OH MY GOD! What an amazing book! Humiliating Revenge is written by, T. Christensen. This is such a great story of rekindled love. Olivia is the Mayor’s daughter and lives by a severe set of rules.

These two met in high school and after a very public and very humiliating break up, Calum HATES her for what he thought she is, which is a spoiled rich B*****! Olivia basically lives a nightmare that she believes will never end. That is until five years later when these to meet up again.

Humiliating Revenge by T. Christensen was a great 5 star read.
We start with Olivia sneaking away to go see an MMA fight. He doesn’t know she is there, seeing him brings back so many memories for her. After the fight she heads to work. Little did she know that things were going to quickly change for her.
Calum is someone from her past that she had to push away to keep him safe, in doing so she caused him to hate her. He has now made it as an MMA fighter and is doing very well for himself. When Olivia comes face-to-face with him at the bar she interns and works at, she can see the hatred in his eyes. He is absolutely cruel to her.
Calum can’t resist the pull and he decides he needs to talk to Olivia. You can feel the attraction between them coming off the pages. We get some steamy moments between them. Olivia tries to keep him at arms length but he refuses to let her. There is something going on with her and Calum’s protectiveness is kicking in. What will happen when Olivia’s secrets come out?
Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.
Overall this was a great read. My heart broke for Olivia and what she had endured at the hands of her father. We get some twists and turns that will pull you right in. The secondary characters were great as well. I really loved this couple and I look forward to reading more from this author.

This was a great love story. Humiliating Revenge by T.Christensen, is not a story for the under 18 crowd. More hot and steamy than I care for but you may be a little different. It doesn’t start out as a love story, almost a hate story, but there’s always the back story. Always a little more going on than you see on the surface. Liv and Calum have great chemistry, but they are both so good at cutting their own throats. These two don’t need enemies they are their own worst enemy. One has too much pride and the other carries too much shame. The characters are great, and the background that the author uses with Mixed Martial Arts makes for quite an interesting and creative tale.

Humiliating Revenge by T. Christensen was a great read! I was immediately captured from the first page and I couldn’t put this story down until I finished it all. I feel like there should be a content warming in the beginning however, as several parts of the story are graphic and could potentially be triggers. It was a great story, with a great plot, amazing characters and overall really well written. This is the first novel I’ve read by Christensen and I can’t wait to read more in the future!

Humiliating Revenge: Contemporary Young Adult Romance by T. Christensen
Once I started reading this book I was unable to put it down. I was so drawn in that I read it in one sitting. I was taken on a surprising roller coaster of emotion. I absolutely loved reading this story, the characters conveyed so many emotions throughout the story. Both Calum and Olivia had layers of feelings from their time together in high school and from their break up. Olivia has always been seen and the stuck up snotty girl but there’s more there than meets the eye. Calum who has now become an MMA fighter has resentment and anger built up for the way Olivia humiliated him, but there are other feelings buried deep inside. There are some really great supporting characters in this book as well. The author did an excellent job striking a chord inside of me and writing a wonderful and intriguing story. I highly recommend this book.

Humiliating Revenge: Contemporary Young Adult Romance by T. Christensen. I love T. Christensen so I was excited to read this one. I loved the story of Calum Breen and Olivia Crawford. Olivia is the typical spoiled little rich girl who is the Mayor’s daughter. But what people don’t know is that Olivia’s father is overbearing and abusive. Calum is the star athlete who is sweet and can do no wrong in the town’s eyes. When Olivia humiliates him in front of the whole town he decides then and there he will make her pay one day. Calum becomes a MMA fighter and has returned to his home town. But once he returns and he gets to really know Olivia and some of her deep dark secrets then he’s not so sure he can hurt her more.

Christensen – Review by Tausha Treadway
This was a great read. You cant help but love the characters in this story and it keeps you gipped.
Calum and Olivia were high school sweethearts. Their love for each other was strong and pure. However Olivia was the Mayors daughter and he didnt approve so forced her to break up with Calum in a public way. Causing heartbreak to them both and public humiliation to Calum.
Fast forward years later, Calum is a successful MMA fighter. He returns home for a fight and makes it his goal to find and humiliate Olivia the way she did him.
However, things arent what they seem. Then or now. Olivia is trapped by her abusive father who rules every aspect of her life. She sees no escape from him.
Can Calum see past his hurt to see what is really happening and rescue her or will her hardshell and cold attitude succeed in hurting and pushing him away again.

Christensen – Review by Kerry Carr
This is the first book that I have read from this author…but it won’t be the last. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster!
Calum and Olivia dated briefly back in high school, until Olivia dumped him in a public and humiliating way. Calum channeled his frustration and anger into training and now, years later, is an up-and-coming MMA fighter. Imagine his surprise when he goes out to celebrate his first professional win and the girl who was too good for him in high school is now the woman serving him his drinks. He decides that flaunting his success in her face and humiliating her, like she did to him, is going to be his revenge. However, there are feelings other than hate that they have and maybe things weren’t exactly as they seemed in their past.
This story has so many layers. I don’t want to give anything away because it was s shock to me and took me a minute to catch my breath when I understood what was happening. I found myself pulling for them each to come clean with each other…it was frustrating the way they would dance around what was really happening (but it made the book more dramatic…so I get why it was needed). I am glad the story took turns I didn’t see coming and ended much different than I was guessing. T. Christensen has a way with words that pulled me in and kept me engaged for the entire story… and I loved it!

Christensen – Review by Rosanna Ingram
This is my first, but certainly not last, read by T. Christensen and I am very much happy I stumbled upon this book. Humiliating Revenge is a deep and a bit dark young adult romance with lots of secrets, revenge, tension, and more. I think that this book has a bit of something for everyone with the amount of topics it covers, but should probably have a bit of a trigger warning for some with abuse. I don’t think the author struggled and it was written with a poetic ease and respect for the subject matter at hand. You can tell this is a topic close to the author’s heart as they write with a noticeable passion.
We find Calum Breen and Olivia in this novel, and watch as they work through some dark and scary past situations to find the light at the end of the tunnel. These two have a history but it is loaded with secrets that need to be known for the full story to be absorbed by everyone. Will the secrets come out and will these two find an ending of happiness? I won’t go into much more detail because this book has several twists and turns that you don’t want to have ruined for you before you find them out yourself! I can’t wait to see what will come next or what else is available from T. Christensen!

Christensen – Review by Liz Vrchota
Humiliating Revenge is a YA romance novel by T. Christensen. The story starts with Olivia. Working in a bar one evening she has to wait on her highschool sweetheart Calum who is now a successful athlete, a champion in MMA, and back in town. Reminded of how she brutally ended their relationship Olivia does her best to avoid Calum, but he won’t let her escape that easily. He wants to humiliate her, he wants revenge. At first Calum sees Olivia as nothing but the stuck up princess she let him believe she was, but he soon realises things aren’t what they seem. Can he help Olivia before it’s too late? I loved the main characters of the story. Olivia, despite how she was portrayed, is strong yet sweet and vulnerable, and as the story develops you want someone to swoop in and give her the happy ending she deserves. Calum is definitely an alpha male, and I would love to know a bit more about his character. He is just what Olivia needs and I really wanted them to get their happy ending. This is my first time reading a book by this author, but I will definitely look for more in the future.

Olivia is spoiled and rich. Seems to be disliked by many. And after she dump Callum, not only does the town not forgive her, but Callum doesnt either. He turns into this cold, menacing man who uses his resentment to push forward to teach Olivia a lesson. Olivia definitely comes off spoiled and stuck up. But she has issues that help make up that appearance. Callum is the exact opposite. He’s the town golden boy, so to speak. Well liked by all and very popular. Theres definitely way more than meets the eye to this story. It captivates from the very beginning. Well done!!!

Christensen – Review by Raylene Green
Olivia Crawford was prominent for being wealthy, arrogant, pampered around town. The girls in town gossiped and spread her name around town as the boys stared and were often intimidated by her mere presence. Now in college, the town couldn’t find themselves able to forgive her for dumping the town’s superstar. Callum Breen was a loving, laid-back, charming high school athlete. He didn’t even know who Olivia was when he saw what he wanted in her and pressed till he won her over. After being dumped by her, his anger has turned into resentment and sends him flying straight to MMA but he’s out to prove he’s better than her. He’s now a bigger and better man who knows how to do more than roll with the punches to protect himself. He has more to show her as he sets sights on teaching her a lesson. In this unpredictable read, we see how it all takes a turn and you can’t see which way this one will go. Pick it up and come along for the ride.
