This was a surprising hit for me. I found myself immediately drawn into the story after the prologue. I rooted for Kate, the underdog, returning to her hometown and all of the bad history that it contained. And Jack…well, he was just perfect in every way imaginable. They had immediate chemistry, but little did either of them know how their parent’s history would pit them on opposite sides of the town gossip.
Great story!

La venganza más dulce
Protagonistas: Jack Winfield y Kate Jones
Argumento:
Aquella ciudad no era lo bastante grande para los dos
Kate Jones era una empresaria de éxito que sabía lo que quería... y ya tenía puestos los ojos en su objetivo.
Jack Winfield provenía de una familia atípica, tenía un empleo muy absorbente... y sentía una enorme atracción por la recién llegada.
Kate Jones había vuelto a Pleasantville con un único objetivo: seducir a John Winfield hijo, el ídolo de la ciudad, para vengarse de su padre, el hombre que había humillado a su madre. Pero poco podía sospechar que ella iba a ser seducida por un tipo encantador llamado Jack y que las reglas del juego iban a cambiar irremediablemente.

I will never look at cheesecake the same again.
That scene has lived rent-free in my head since the first time I read this back when it was first released.
This is one of those books I'll go back to time and time again.

Related to Jill Shalvis' 'Naughty but Nice' I thought this story was more likeable, had some funny moments and I was glad to see her let go of old hurts.

I loved this. There were issues and not easy ones since they were in the characters' heads. It takes time to change and grow your ideas. But I loved this couple, Kate and Jack and their way with each other. They were fun and hot and sweet.
It helped to have the complementary book by Jill Shalvis with Cassie and Tag, and also the people in town to fill out the characters. I would definitely read both books since they match so well. For the most part, the only characters which came out strongly, feeling real, were Kate and Jack in this book. The others were just mentioned in passing.
