This book wasn't for me at all.
The story had so much potential but I'm so disappointed with how it was written.
The characters weren't coherent at all and there were too many disturbing things...

Lucas Thorn.
His names even hot writing it.
I've read a few books by Rachel and I actually think this was my favourite. I listened to Cheater on audio and it was absolutely hilarious. Avery and Lucas have a complicated past and everything just happened wrong. As wrong as anything could go, that's the way it went at every point in their lives.
As time goes on they find their way back into each others lives but now Lucas has a girl set for every day of the week and Avery is barely scraping by with an unwanted pet spider and a peeping tom neighbour. Lucas and Avery have such a comical relationship and they both bring out the childish tendencies in each other. I loved them together and the fake relationship trope. Everything happened extremely quickly though. One minute I thought we had passed a month but actually, it had only been a week and everything had happened. I don't know how they found all the hours to fit it all in.

Cheater was a fun read. Lucas and Avery were so cute together! I loved how they had a past, a rocky past, and how they both tried to stay away now that they were thrown together again. It was fun!
Avery hates Lucas Thorn. Or she does now. She used to be good friends with him, looked up to him, had a crush on him, but that was all before he proposed to her sister then cheated on her the night before the wedding. It ruined their families and they are still not over it. When Avery shows up for her first day of her new job she is not expecting to be working for the same devil himself, Lucas Thorn. She wasn't expecting so much. Like how she is still attracted to him, not like she would ever do anything about that. Besides he has changed. And she hates him, right?
Lucas Thorn messed up. He knows it, he knew it that fateful night, but he couldn't help himself. He tried to make it right afterward, but no one would listen to him or want to have anything to do with him so now he embarrasses the bachelor life. He doesn't need or want a monogamous relationship. He can't trust himself to not mess it up like he did last time. What if he would just cheat again? He doesn't want to hurt anyone so he just keeps a woman for every day of the week (except Sunday). They all know the score, they know they get one day a week until they don't want to anymore then no hard feelings. They are fine with it as Lucas Thorn is pretty amazing. Sure sometimes they want more, but it is never in the cards.
When Lucas sees Avery again all those issues from so long ago come rushing back. He is still drawn to her, but he can't do anything about it. Their parents used to be good friends, but now they barely even wave hello to each other. He can't mess it up again. Only...he can't seem to stay away. And now he doesn't seem to want his usual ladies...but what are they to do? She hates him and is not afraid to tell him how she feels whenever he is around. These two were fun. I loved how much grief Avery would give him and how the way to her heart was great food. I loved how he would show up with Pad Thai and she couldn't help herself - she wanted to eat it even if it meant spending more time with the devil. These two were fun. Their back and forth was awesome. And watching them come together again was so entertaining. I loved them together.
Now overall I really enjoyed this story. One thing did bug me though - besides that first time years ago Lucas never cheated. Current day Lucas was not a cheater. He never stepped outside the agreed upon parameters of his relationships with the women he slept with. So he didn't cheat. And everyone besides him and his ladies kept harping on it which did get a tad frustrating. His best friend, Avery, everyone would mention again and again how he cheats all the time....but he doesn't. There was even a scene where two of his ladies came over to say hi to him while he was out with Avery and he kisses both of them and Avery thinks how can girl one stand to have him cheating on her right in front of her? I just thought because he is not cheating? If everyone is okay with the situation he is not cheating. He is just dating/sleeping with a lot of women on a set schedule. So it got brought up often enough that it was a bit annoying but didn't take away from the story overall. Overall it was a lot of fun.

So I liked this one, the witty banter, the enemies to lovers plot. It was all pretty well done. I was laughing most of the time during this book. The two characters were likeable, it was easy to root for them.
Lucas Thorn was a guy who made a mistake, given, it was a pretty big one, and was aiming for redemption. Avery Black was a girl who was a spitfire. She was a bit too much at times, but overall funny to read about, and really someone that deserved to get everything she wanted.
The plot was well done. It was a quick read that was well written, sweet and light-hearted with a happy ending. Perfect for a break from reality and heavy books.

This was a pretty good story, I enjoyed it very much. I did have an issue with the male narrator - every time he spoke a woman's part, he made her sound like a ditsy valley girl. Every. Single. Time. It was so annoying, I could hardly stand it by the end of the book. I think I'll try to avoid anything narrated by Alexander Cendese in the future.

I adore her heroines. They are awkward hysterical little balls of insecure sunshine. I love the banter and the conflicted heroes too.
Lucas and Avery were adorable and funny and their story has probably happened to people all over the world. And their mothers. Oh dear god.

You know I didn't expect to like this book
That said I was completely wrong. Rachel Van Dyken does it again, producing a story I thoroughly enjoyed from beginning to end.
I'll admit the age gap bugged me especially the when the attraction started, but putting that aside this book was funny and enjoyable and for once I have no complaints of a rushed story or one that dragged, the pacing was perfect.
Highly recommended.
