Tis the Season for Revenge: A Holiday Romantic Comedy (Season of Revenge Series Book 1)

“It would be an honor to have you on my arm, walking in to see a room of people I would rather not spend extra time with, have all their eyes go to you, and feel that jealousy build. Watch them want what’s mine.”THIS BOOK.If you are a fan of early 2000’s romcoms like Legally Blonde or John Tucker Must Die, you must read this! I have genuinely nicknamed this book the “hot water bottle” because it made me feel so warm and toasty 🥹At the start of this book, Abbie is in a relationship with Richard, she just wants to make him happy and does anything he asks of her, but he only sees her as “filler” and “a reliable piece”. On Halloween night, he breaks up with her, and to try and heal her heartbreak, her friends sign her up to a dating app, in which she matches with Richard’s boss, Damien, a very successful, stunning looking man who Richard has always been jealous of. To get her revenge, she decides to date this man and turn up to the company’s Christmas party on his arm… surely it’s only a bit of harmless fun when feelings aren’t involved? …Right?PLEASE READ THIS BOOK. I don’t often connect to holiday romcoms as I feel like there isn’t much depth to any of them, but I loved these characters and I highlighted so many passages 🥺Damien treated Abbie like a queen, and it had me crying at parts that weren’t even sad. He validated all of her feelings and wanted her to be excited for things that other people would find “dumb” in ways that I wish someone would do for me. I related to so many things that Abbie went through and just who she was as a person. I will be rereading this book every Christmas from now on in 🥹The concert scene had me wanting to marry Damien, which, as a lesbian, is a huge deal as I never get attached to the MMC, so well done Morgan Elizabeth 😂Read if you love:💙 Legally Blonde💙 Early 2000’s romcoms💙 Age gap💙 Cinnamon roll MMCs💙 Christmas romances💙 Romance with a deeper messageTW: emotional and physical abuse💙

'𝐀 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐰. 𝐈𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.'Ah, I love Damien Martinez! This was the perfect cute little rom-com that gave off all the right vibes.When Abbie's boyfriend Richard breaks up with her after 4 years of her bending to every want of his to become his 'perfect woman' she soon realises with the help of her friends Cam and Kat, that what she actually wants is revenge, and the best revenge? Sleeping with his boss and getting an invitation to the Christmas party Richard would never take her to.I hated Richard, he was literally scum, and they way he treated Abbie and demolished her self confidence and worth was heartbreaking. She was treated like an animal, she changed her style, her hair cooked, cleaned, got his coffee. She was basically his PA. And in return, she got a world of heart. And when Damien started to help her find herself, and watching the real Abbie come out, it was beautiful to see.I loved Damien aswell, and I also loved how he reacted to the whole situation when he found out. It just went to show the difference in maturity between Richard and Damien. The way he would do everything Abbie wanted even if he didn't want to because he knew it would make her happy. The way he kept telling her her job wasn't unimportant. He just really broke through every crappy boundary Richard laid, and smashed expectations out of the park.My only gripe with this book for me, was the overuse of the pet name 'honey'. Its my least favourite pet name, so I notice it being used more than I normally would. Other than that I loved how easy this was of a read and I can't wait to check out what else Morgan has out.

I’m completely blown away. This book has brought me so much joy over the last 24 hours. My neck hurts for the amount of times I’ve thrown my head back laughing/swooning at moments throughout this book. When this book was described as a being like legally blonde I knew I was going to love it! I just didn’t realise how much I would!When Abbie Keller’s lawyer boyfriend of four years, the guy she thought was her forever, breaks up with her outside her apartment building moments before they’re supposed to go to his firms Halloween party. She’s out for revenge, and what better revenge than sleeping with her Ex’s boss. Enter the very handsome, very charming Damien Martinez. He has a type Blonde, petite and curvy, and he’s not embarrassed to admit it. When Annie finds him on a dating app she has one goal in mind, convince him to ask her on a date to his firms annual Christmas party.Damien is my dream man. He is so completely swoon-worthy, charming, and has the dirtiest mouth that had me blushing.Abbie is so completely relatable, she’s down to earth and bubbly and honestly such a sweetheart.These two together are everything, I adore them with my entire heart. I loved how obsessed they were with one another.I adored how Damien worshipped Abbie, and made it his mission to show her how amazing she is and to make her shine again after the damage of her previous relationship.The chemistry between these two was quite literally on fire! The spice was on another level so hot, like on another level of hot. I’m obsessed.I’ve seen this all over my TikTok recently and I can seriously see why. If you haven’t guessed by reading this review, but this has solidified its place as one of my favourite books ever. And despite it being a festive romance, this is a comfort read for me and I can see me re-reading this throughout the year. I 100% will be reading Morgan Elizabeth’s back catalog of books!
