The Sweetest Revenge

By: Lucy Felthouse

Narrated by: Margaret Ashley

Abigail’s had a crush on Mackenzie, the motorcycle courier, for months, but Mackenzie doesn’t even know she exists. Nothing exists for Mackenzie, though, except for her pride and joy - her Ducati Monster.

After an unpleasant encounter, Abigail decides to get her own back on Mackenzie - in the worst possible way. Despite the pleas of her colleagues, Abigail plans to hide Mackenzie’s precious motorbike and take the haughty so-and-so down a peg or two.

Naturally, when Mackenzie discovers her bike is gone, there are fireworks. It’s April 1, so she suspects trickery rather than criminal activity, but that doesn’t mean the person responsible will be getting off lightly....

Well paced.

The summary for this short story is essentially a barebones version of the plot. What you see is what you get. You’re dropped into the middle of a scene with some very well-done world-building. You’re told everything you need to know and the story progresses at a natural and believable pace.

As the majority of the story is world-building and setting the scene, there’s not much of a payout at the end. It feels more like reading the first chapter of what would likely be a very steamy novel.

My favorite aspect of this story is the narrator. She really makes the older female protagonist believable and does a good job of breathing life into the characters. The most lacking aspect of the narration is her Scottish accent.

Enjoyable short story

I picked this title up as a review copy and am very glad I did. It is a fun short story to listen to with lots of heat at the end. I wasn't a real fan of the event that brings the two main characters together. I feel like that was the weakest part of the story, but the end result was exactly what I was hoping for.

From the summary on Audible, you get the highlights of what the premise of the story is. Abigail has had a crush on the courier at her office for a while. She finally gets the nerve to talk to her, but ends up feeling like she was insulted by the courier. With the help of co-workers, she takes the courier's motorbike and hides it. Mackenzie, the courier, hunts for the bike, her anger raging. When she comes across Abigail with the bike, things heat up more than either expected.

I really enjoyed the narration. The accents given to the characters were definitely Irish, very thick for Mackenzie. Overall, it is a very enjoyable 1 hour listen for a lunch break or before going to bed at night.

Hot🔥🔥🔥🔥

In a word, this book was hot. It was a easy reading short story filled with heat. The story is from Abigail’s POV and the only two people who actually speak are her and Makenzie.

Abigail, who had a wicked crush on the younger Mackenzie, finally gets up the nerve to make a move. She is sorely rebuffed leading her to attempt the epic revenge. Mackenzie, who has had negative experiences with women pretending to be interested as an office dare, doubts Abigail’s attraction when the older woman approaches her, so she blows her off! Big mistake!!

As always the narrator was wonderful and really made the story pop. I loved the way she differentiated the two women.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

Well narrated

This is a very beautifully written romance story that includes humor and some intense scenes
