This is quite literally one of the worst books I've ever read. It's one of those books where the 2 main characters can't stand each other but rip each other's clothes off whenever they have the chance.
You might wonder why, if I thought it was so bad,I actually finished the book. Well, the editing appears to have been done by an 8th grade student who is failing English, and the grammar errors were so frequent and obvious that it was fun to keep reading just to see what was going to show up next....more

I read Her Perfect Revenge in one day, I couldn't put it down. Holy Mackerel was this an emotional ride! This book is a perfect example of the push and pull attraction between characters that I love so much. The main characters, Bill and Christina, have so much heat and friction without even being a couple. Loved that! There is banter, wit, fighting, backbone, back stabbing, conniving; I could go on...all leading to a very satisfying end. BUT, the author makes you and the main characters work fo...more
I was recently contacted by a new author Anna Mara with a request to review her book - HER PERFECT REVENGE. I accepted, of course, and took a journey 519 pages long. And it was very exciting I can promise you that. I’ve met three fabulous people there - Christina Matteo, Bill Havenwood and William Havenwood Sr. Oh, they made me laugh and I can tell you that I don’t remember the last time any book did this to me. They also made me feel and think about the concept of revenge.

The are no words to describe the horror that is this book.
I thought that the blurb for the story looked good, so much so that I downloaded it for £2.55 on to my Kindle.
That's £2.55 that I will never get back. Neither will I get back the time spent reading the damn thing.
If only I had bought the paper back copy, at least then I could have used it for something useful, such as hampster bedding.

I actually liked this book, the banter between the two had me cracking up.
I especially loved all the good and bad name calling they all used for each other like bastard, bozo, swine, creep, bum, rat bastard, maggot etc and the good ones used like, Darling, honey bunch, pumpkin pie, sweetie and lots more plus all the sexual tension was fun to read.
Also loved Bills jealousy and love for her, it was cute to read, especially when she had that fake boyfriend and he got all mad. funny!

The Book in General
Her Perfect Revenge was a nice read and exciting read. I liked it. It wasn't nearly the best book I've ever read, but it was okay. It was a little long, though, and the pace was slow at times.
About the Story
The story begins with nerdy, 14-year-old Christina Matteo being target of a mean, humiliating prank, which was played on her by pretty billionaire son, Bill Havenwood. Bill was constantly drunk and high (even at that age) and didn't give a shit about anyone, certainly not C...more

I loved this book. It kept me interested so much that I read it in less than 24 hours. I was up until 1 am last night finishing this book. The author added alot of drama and I just couldn't put it down. It was a fast paced book that at times had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. I love a good romance book that can also get me laughing. I think Christina Matteo is my new favorite heroine.

Ah! What a treat! This is a book full of witty surprises and laughter.
I need to divide the book into two parts for my review.
THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF THE BOOK (I will call the "First Part"):
I was doubled over with laughter many, many times. I didn't want to stop reading. There are three people trying to deceive each other and/or keep secrets from each other. It makes for great conflict. And, what makes it great is that they each have good reasons for what they are doing. I am sympathetic to a...more

Christina goes along with it, it gives her the perfect chance to get back at Bill for a horrible prank he played on her back in high school (and keep in mind, he doesn't even recognizes her and...more

This was a $.99 book on Kindle. it had a good start until the heroine grew up (in age). Mentally, this was another pill of a character. She got on my LAST nerve so bad that I had to skip pages (chapters). My initial thought was my 12 yr old niece wrote this book. The language was juvenile at best (ex. Bozo, Idiot, Scumbag). Who uses language like that. Maybe I just insulted my niece because I believe she has more talent than this book displayed.

Reading this book was my second try at one of those 99-cent books that often shows up in the kindle bestseller list with good ratings. I borrowed it on booklending.com, though.
The main character in this book was the butt of a practical joke in her teens, and, as a result, she forms a lifelong hate for the guy responsible. When she encounters the prankster around sixteen years later in life, she decides to enact a plan of revenge. She starts stalking him to find out what she can use to sink him....more

I loved this book so much!
~Three words.. Her Perfect Revenge -- a definite emotional roller-coaster~
This book is a perfect example of the push and pull attraction between characters that I love so much.
Lets start with the main characters: Bill, a rich, arrogant playboy jerk who basks in his father's riches and will stop at nothing to remain there - even get married.

Totally loved this book from page 1.
Revenge. Is it sweet or is it a dish best served cold? I loved the smart witty comments and humor in this book. I had a smile most of the time I was reading this book.
I totally understand the motive behind Christina and I wondered if I would do the same. She had a opportunity to humiliate Bill who humiliated her in high school. But by second chapter you began to sympathize with Bill. William is a overbearing father where as Bill is a ex-drunk who lives to spen...more

I fell in love with this story from the get go.
I turned out to be a lot more than I was expecting to say the least. It was an easy, fun read that had relatable characters, a realistic plot and great, fun writing.
It did get a little clichéd at times but I thought it added to the story as a whole and sort of balanced out the times when it got a little more on the upsetting side…when things weren’t going the character’s way!

Not bad at all, my only grouse was that the h and H and to go through SO MANY ISSUES, that it kind of detracted me a bit. However i've always enjoyed the trope of enemies to lovers, so i still very much enjoyed this story. Can't wait to read Why Romeo Hates Juliet, which i believe has the same trope; enemies to lovers!!!
I believe this book will appeal to many readers, but personally I disliked most of heroine’s actions, didn’t find the H/h relationship romantic or passionate and didn’t like this author’s writing style. Furthermore, what was supposed to be a romantic comedy story, switched to heavy drama by the last quarter and such incoherence in tone really bothered me. My rating only reflects what I think of the book quality; in my books spreadsheet I rated it 2 stars.

Typical Ugly Duckling gets revenge on hot boy, only to fall in love with him, and him in love with her, they are the last ones to know it, they finally admit it, but then some secret or misunderstanding screws it all up, until they clear it all up and make a happy ending - story.
Great beach read.
Or pretend you're on the beach read.

This book I read in 2 days! I loved the main characters Christina and her best friend Jenny. When I think what the best part was, I think the lessons that Bill and Jake had learned were the greatest. The recovery from being a bully, a drunk, and a rehab in AA was excellent. Very well written and very real
Christina mateo menjadi bahan ejekan satu sekolahan ketika sma gara-gara bill havenwood. beberapa tahun kemudian merencanakan aksi balas dendam terhadap biil.
novel ini seru juga. antara satu tokoh dengan tokoh lainnya saling bohong dan penuh sandiwara. seruuuu

The book is one of the most hilarious and twist and turns book i have ever read. hats off to the author for writing such an awesome novel . The characters seem real and it seems like you are a part of the book
THE BEST SCENE WAS THE FOOD FIGHT SCENE :D :D

Possibly one of the worst books I've ever read... The story is ridiculous and the editing seems to have been done by my six-year-old niece. Terrible grammar, spelling mistakes, repetition of the same sentences every few paragraphs... The works!
I thought this book was very well written and found myself laughing through it. I liked the story...however absurd and I liked the characters. I haven't read her work before, but will keep an eye out for future efforts from her
I was prepared to dislike this book and parts of it didn't disappoint in the the dislike factor. But overall, it turned out to be a nice read. I'd be interested in reading another title from this author after having read "Her Perfect Revenge".

This read had revenge, major misunderstandings and humor. It was better than ok but stretched out too long to be a 3* read. I didn't want to quit reading but kept wishing the author would just get on with it.

"Her Perfect Revenge" was an entertaining read which I enjoyed. It was rather typical chick lit in the sense that the storyline was a bit predictable and lacked in uniqueness. However, it was a fun book all in all.
Great story. Couldn't put it down. Some of the words were very over used and there were a few typos. Some of the paragraphs were a little difficult to put together. But as a storyteller this author is not lacking.
This has to be one of the most retarded books I have read in my life. And that's sad considering how many books i've read the woman in this was so whiney. Omg I wish I could have slapped her. Such a witch to.

I live in Toronto, Canada and I’ve been writing for a few years now, having studied screenwriting at a well known film school in T.O. I’ve always loved creating romantic comedy stories and wanting to try my hand at penning a novel, I decided to turn one of my screenplays into a book. HER PERFECT REVENGE was born and I discovered that I loved that format of writing even more than writing for film.
