When you catch a cheating spouse, what’s the best way to get revenge? A scorching fling with a high school crush seems to fit the bill for Samantha Ellis.

Samantha is fuming mad after catching her fiancé, Tommy, with a blonde bimbo in her favorite restaurant. Caught red handed, Tommy tries to talk his way back into her good graces but Samantha is having none of it. When things get a little heated in the parking lot, a knight in shining armor comes to her rescue, opening her eyes to what love and attraction really are. Turns out, her knight is none other than Donovan Carter, former nerdy band mate who is all grown up and grown into his tall frame. And what a sexy frame it is; Samantha has a very strong desire to jump his gorgeous bones right there in the restaurant. Can what begins as revenge turn into something more?

A hot and sexy love story, A Taste of Revenge by Karen Erickson is a brief look at the tables being turned. Samantha is a strong and admirable woman who takes action when she catches her cheating fiancé. Donovan is a gorgeous hero who lets her know in no uncertain terms that he desires her for the woman she is and not wanting to change her in any way. The pair is explosive when they come together and make for some intensely passionate reading. A nice way to spend a brief respite from the daily chores, the only drawback is the too brief page count; a much longer story would have made this more enjoyable.
