Cheater by Rachel Van Dyken
5.0
Cheater is the first book in the Curious Liaisons series. Please, please, please read this!! This is not a cheating book. Yes, I know what the name says, and I know how we all feel about Cheaters…but if you love Rachel and her books like I do, you will give this a chance. This is a second chance love story. And, yes, she's the sister of his ex fiancee, but it's not what you think. I promise you. Give Lucas Thorn a chance, you will fall for him as hard as I did. He's a complicated man who suffered a loss years ago. And it wasn't the loss of his fiancee. He lost his best friend. The red headed, mouthy girl who he loved spending time with. Four years later and she's his new intern. Avery is not going to make it easy on him. She hates him, or thinks she does. She's so damn funny and quirky and I love her to pieces. Lucas, or Thorn as Avery calls him, has a system and for some reason as soon as Avery shows up, it all goes to hell. Which turns out is a very good thing. Avery can't stop lusting after the man she had a crush on all those years ago. It's wrong. But, why does something so wrong feel so right? I can't really say anymore because I don’t want to give away anything! You really just need to read it! I love Lucas and Avery. I laughed so hard! Then I got hot and bothered, swooned, and laughed more. Lucas and Avery are one of my favorite RVD couples! I couldn’t put it down and I didn't want it to end!
"As amusing as it is to make you suffer, I’m not going to let you go down with the Titanic."
"Are you the Titanic in this situation?"
"Get on the lifeboat. Maybe in your version you can save Jack and live happily ever after."
"And...I will now bid you farewell."
"Tell me how much you hate yourself for saying 'bid' and 'farewell' in the same sentence."
"So, so much."
"You're a bad habit, Thorn. An addiction I can't kick - each kiss gets me drunker than the first, until I lose all sense of right and wrong."
