RUSH and HUNTER could not be more opposite but the way they fell for each was oh so cute. Also Rush is now my favorite Bertha Boy, sorry Seven 😊

I’m always down for revenge on an ex and the beginning of this book just about broke my heart for Rush and made me want to gouge this ex’s eyes out. I couldn’t believe how unbelievably compassionate Hunter was to Rush in just this one instant. I knew from there this was going to be a top read for me.

From all the flirty text messages and emails to all the plANT puns, these two had me swooning and smiling throughout this entire book. It has one of the best revenge scenes I’ve ever read.

I also loved how patient Hunter was learning how to be in a relationship with Rush. The ADHD rep representation was written beautifully and very descriptive to help the reader understand. (“Thank you.”

“For what?”

“Loving me as I am.”)

Now I’m off to read about Madden and why he can’t keep his clothes on 🙃

I just wanted to give Rush a big hug in this book. I love how supportive his friends are. Hunter and him are perfect for each other even though the way they met is tough for both of them. I love when they each discover how much they care for each other. I love their messages back and forth and how they interact at work.

The Revenge Agenda by Saxon James was not quite what I was expecting but I absolutely loved it! This MM romance had me hooked from the first page with its mix of humour, heart, and a pinch of chaos (the good kind) you expect from the Bertha boys.

Let’s start with Rush. Oh, Rush. I dare anyone not to fall in love with this charming ball of ADHD energy. And then there’s Hunter, the perfect balance to Rush’s whirlwind personality.

Their chemistry was off the charts. That revenge kiss? Whew! So hot.

P.L. Ant, the infamous butt plant was iconic and the plant custody battles and punny notes between Rush and Hunter were so cute.

The premise of two guys bonding over being cheated on by the same guy was delivered so well. Ian, the dirtbag ex, is truly awful - let’s just say karma’s got a big, shiny target on his back.

One of my favourite parts of this series is the found family dynamic, and that final chapter where everyone is together in the backyard, with Rush pointing them all out to Hunter, gave me all the feels. And that's not to mention all the other Bertha moments. My heart is still doing happy little flips.

This story had me laughing, swooning, and feeling all the warm fuzzies. Saxon James has nailed the balance of heartfelt and hilarious, and I couldn’t recommend The Revenge Agenda enough. It’s pure delight, start to finish!

The cherry on top? Teddy Hamilton’s narration is absolute perfection.

What to expect:

Cheating (it's how the MCs meet and isn't on-page, but is mentioned throughout the book)

Found family

ADHD rep

Dirty talk

Emailing

Forced proximity

Opposites attract

I’m blazing through this series today. I had a couple hours of listening time remaining on Spotify so I listened until I ran out of time. That brought me to Chapter 12. Then I switched back to Kindle Unlimited to read the rest there. I read the final 5% standing in the grocery store because I wanted to buy book 4 on audio and listen while I shopped but I wanted to finish book 3 first and I was so close.

I didn’t love this book as much as book 2, but it was still a really good story. There were a few times when I got confused who’s perspective I was on, and that was reading the ebook. I had that same issue in book 1 as I recall - it’s like their personalities just slightly overlap sometimes.

Anyway I’m well into Book 4 by the time I’m writing this (I had a lot of shopping in 2 stores) and I’m really enjoying that one too. I think audio might be the way to go with these if you like audio.
