Okay listen. This book? Restart and New Revenge? THIS BOOK? Absolutely DELIVERED. I laughed, I gasped, I yelled at the characters like I was a third roommate in their forced-proximity hideout. It’s technically part of a series, but you can totally start here (me? chaotic order reader supreme ✋). And yes, all the past books are on Kindle Unlimited so… there goes my weekend plans.

We’ve got Anna “Ace” O’Hara and Archer Papadopoulos (yes, a name that sounds like he should own a yacht, but he’s actually a grumpy security boss). One wild Vegas night, one marriage, one heartbreak… and YEARS later? BOOM. Mafia danger, second-chance drama, and Archer showing up like “surprise, babe, I never actually stopped protecting you.” Cue the sparks. Cue the angst. Cue ME, feral in the corner.

Tropes?? Ohhh they came marching in like a whole dang parade:
✨ Second Chance
✨ One-Night-Stand-But-Not-Really
✨ He Falls First (and oof, he fell)
✨ Bodyguard who takes his job a little too personally 👀
✨ Forced Proximity aka “there’s only one bed but also danger??”
✨ It Was Always You (my heart. my SOUL.)
✨ Plot Twist that had me looking like the Pikachu meme

Basically, this book is the definition of a chef’s kiss. Romantic suspense + messy emotions + “how dare you still love me after all these years” energy = perfection. If you like your love stories a little dangerous, a little heartbreaking, and a LOT swoony, you’re gonna devour this one.

Thank you, @bookedwiththeemilys and @authorallisonbettes for this gifted copy. I will be spiraling until further notice.
