    Surprisingly good even with that title..
  

*by T***1 on Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2022*

I'm not a fan of reading about cheating but this book is really good... surpassed my expectations.Lucas Thorn was engaged to his childhood sweetheart, the prom king and queen, the “it” girl and boy and because of the length of their relationship and the friendship of their parents he kinda felt he had to go through with it, even though he knew he had feelings for someone else. They were one of those couples that weren't really "in love" anymore but everyone ELSE told them they should be together for life.... and then a moment comes that ruins it all.Now Lucas has a reputation as a cheater—some say its well-deserved, others say this isn’t him at all. But Lucas does whatever he can nowadays to live up to the rep he has of a manwh*re. He does make sure the ladies all know the rules before he crawls into bed with a woman and never stays with the same woman twice. He doesn’t want there to be any hurt feelings on anyone’s part.Avery is a woman haunted by the memories of that long ago time when she was secretly in love with a man who was supposedly in love with her older sister and a man who was supposedly her friend. She wants him but she doesn't WANT to want him and fights it every day while feeling guilty over her own needs.I loved the banter and relationship development. Apart from being a fun, easy read Cheater also explores a variety of themes having to do with sibling rivalry, forgiveness, and how oftentimes, in trying to avoid the sins of the past, we can sometimes wind up cheating ourselves out of a future.

Cheater (Curious Liaisons #1) by Rachel Van Dyken4 stars!!!“That’s the Lucas Thorn effect.”Rachel Van Dyken has had me in hysterics reading this book, I have had tears of laughter and even had a “spat my tea” incident and I have to admit I haven’t laughed as much in ages. The dialogue in this book is some of the best I have read in a while and the humour, wit and banter was prevalent throughout.“Never did figure out how he got his little hot dog in there!”However, I will preface this review with a little disclaimer. If you have an issue with a total manwhore who has a schedule for a different woman in his bed Monday to Saturday, you will not like this book. However, if like me, it doesn’t bother you and you can read it for what it is, tongue in cheek, then you will definitely laugh as much as I did. Some of the treatment of secondary characters is rather shady and definitely not empathetic, but if, like me, you read it for the rom com it is, then this will not bother you either. I read this as a light hearted, funny read, yes, it is a bit unrealistic, yes, the situations are a little over the top, but it is rom com and it is that, that I base my review. Do I condone some of the actions, definitely not, but it made for hilarious reading none the less.“Sometimes a guy just needs good sex.”Lucas Thorn was engaged to his childhood sweetheart, the prom king and queen, the “it” girl and boy and because of the length of their relationship and the friendship of their parents he kinda felt he had to go through with it, even though, deep down, he knew he had feelings for someone else. The night before the wedding though, he gets cold feet and is determined to come clean and this night will forever be known as “the night that shall not be named.”Having escaped “wedded bliss” Lucas is determined to never fall into the same trap again, so he has a different woman in his bed six nights of the week. They all know the situation, they all know they are one of six and all are happy with the arrangement. It works perfectly, until the woman, the one that made Lucas question his engagement all those many years ago, comes to work for him. Oh, and did I mention that she is the younger sister of the original bride to be!!“It’s not cheating if you know.”Avery Black was a fantastic heroine, her witty comebacks and her ballsy attitude really brought Lucas to his knees. It is her spitfire personality that really reigns him in and makes him want to change. Avery was always his unicorn, the one he couldn’t have, but give him the possibility and this man changes in the blink of an eye. It was this immediate change that really emphasised the depths of his feelings towards her. Lucas just needed a reason to change.“There would be blood, folks. There would be blood.”Rachel Van Dyken seemingly does the impossible with making me root for these two as a couple, I mean come on, this is Lucas Thorn, manwhore extraordinaire. However, once Rachel Van Dyken explains their past and explores Lucas’s feelings all those many moons ago you begin to understand why he did the things he did. He was trapped and he didn’t know how to escape. So, while getting a huge dose of the feels and all those emotions that an “I’ve loved you forever” storyline brings Rachel Van Dyken cements these two in your heart as a couple you want to make it. With love/hate thrown into the mix and some decidedly dodgy situations Rachel Van Dyken will also have you in fits of laughter and it is this light-hearted side that really cemented this as a great read for me.“The last time I tried I fell for someone else. A girl with bright green eyes and strawberry-blonde hair who smelled like grape gum and called me by my last name. She made me feel alive. I think she’s the only one capable of giving a cheater a reason to change his ways. That’s all I can give you, the truth.”

    From Cheater to Believer , Love finds a way #CuriousLiaisons
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2017*

Don’t hold this title against this book. I was hesitant at first to read this book but OMG this was a really good read. The prologue will draw you in immediately and what you think you know, isn’t what is going on at all. It sets the stage for how the book will start off and the emotions that rifle throughout. Note this is an unconventional love story which is a good change that I have been looking for.Lucas Thorn has a reputation as a cheater—some say its well-deserved, others say this isn’t him at all. But Lucas does whatever he can nowadays to live up to the rep he has of a tomcat. He does make sure the ladies all know the rules before he crawls into bed with a woman and never stays with the same woman twice. He doesn’t want there to be any hurt feelings on anyone’s part. He’s been there before and doesn’t want to go down that road again. He lives alone yet has his hookups..that is his penance for what happened. For what he was unable to fix on that night long ago and his determination to never revisit the past until the past comes back to haunt him in the flesh.Avery Black is haunted by the memories of that long ago time when she was secretly in love with a man who was supposedly in love with her older sister and a man who was supposedly her friend. Until everything blew up in her face when she caught that guy in a very compromising position with another woman on the night he was supposed to marry her sister. 5 years since all that went down yet now Avery is in a position where she will be working in the internship position for this man, this former best friend and her secret crush. If she only didn’t need this job.There is so much angst told with a touch of wistfulness to it. There is also a bitter aftertaste of betrayal flavored with heartbreak on both sides. But there is this attraction that flavors the MC interactions. Lucas doesn’t make excuses for what happened and he definitely took ownership for what happened but he never talked to his supposed friend Avery about it at the time and tried to explain and there comes the anguish. For we will never know what could have been for them if Lucas his just tried to speak, to get his feelings across. Avery is one woman you root for and I definitely did so.This is a fast and easy read. It was one that I much enjoyed= a beautiful 2nd chance romance novel with themes of forgiveness, jealousy, sibling rivalry and love. I am so looking forward for Thatch’s story next.My rating: 4.5 stars **** "I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***
