What a way to close out this series. This story gave me everything I was hoping for and more: messy, emotional, and so real that I felt like I was hurting and healing right along with the characters.
-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-♡-
Sienna absolutely owned this book for me. I loved how human she was—tender-hearted and compassionate, but also carrying the weight of heartbreak that still cut deep. Her struggle felt raw and relatable. She wanted to be strong and stand with her “Just Desserts” girls, but when it came to Aiden, her heart wasn’t so easily silenced. I admired that push and pull, the honesty of admitting she understood him but couldn’t forgive so easily. It felt real , and I respected that the story allowed her to sit in that messy middle instead of rushing to a perfect resolution.
And then there’s Aiden. My heart broke for him too. His choices weren’t easy, and even though they shattered Sienna, you could feel the weight of what he lost as well. I felt pulled in two directions, aching for Sienna in her heartbreak yet unable to ignore the weight Aiden carried with his guilt and grief. That conflict is exactly what made this story powerful.
What really stole my heart is how it reminded me that revenge was never the true point of the “Karma Club.” It was about growth, about finding strength in brokenness, and most importantly, about friendship. The found family across this series is one of the best I’ve read. Those four women, and the men who came into their lives, were the true gift. I teared up seeing how far they had come, realizing the real victory wasn’t in payback but in healing and letting go.
As a finale, this one was beautiful. Emotional, realistic, sometimes frustrating in the best way, and ultimately hopeful. The series may have started with revenge, but it ended with something far deeper: four women reclaiming their worth, finding love, and building bonds that will last a lifetime.

(I’m also so glad Harvey got his true revenge. I was worried he might be overlooked since he wasn’t a main character, but seeing him finally get what he deserved was so satisfying and added an extra layer of closure to the story.)

What an awesome finish to a fabulous series, I loved this one I have been looking forward to Sienna’s story since book one and Clare Connelly rocked it, I loved Sienna and Aiden. Come along and have some fun with the Karma Club.
Sienna comes from a small town and hasn’t had the best of times in her life but the worst was when the boy she loved left and didn’t want anything more to do with her, even when she needed him most and she has spent pretty much the last ten years thinking about getting him back and then is it fate or what but she finds herself snowed in at O’Hare Airport in Chicago where she meets three other woman who will become her best of buddies all of whom also have a story of heartbreak caused by the men in their lives, this is where the Karma Club is formed and just deserts are planned but Aiden’s just deserts don’t go to plan and now it is time for Sienna to step in, how will this work out?
On a gorgeous island in the Mediterranean Sienna will have her chance to get Aiden to want her all over again and then dump him but chemistry is still strong between them and things are heating up and they are talking but can Sienna every really forgive him for what he has done?
This story had me from page one and it was truly hard to put down, there are so many emotions running through the words, it is moving, sensual and so very witty as well, Sienna and Aiden are in my opinion so meant to be together, I loved both of them and was cheering them on throughout the story it really is a beautiful story. And you just can’t forget the other Ladies and their partners of the Karma Club being all together was so very good, a sigh worthy story one that I do highly recommend.
This series is brilliant all four books are magical stories of love and romance and the authors bought all of the characters to life on the pages and made them friends, thank you all, you left this reader very happy.
My thanks to Boldwood Books and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.

This is an ARC review. I want to thank Clare Connelly and Boldwood Books for allowing me the chance to read this book ahead of release day! I am so sad this is the last book in this series because I’ve had so much fun with these ladies! Sienna and Aiden’s love story was a long time coming and I was so quick to dive into it. The last love story of our Just Desserts Group and it ended with all the tension and banter I needed! The payback plan by the entire Karma Club was just hilarious. But what brought some heartfelt deep thought is Sissi’s background and everything she went through…alone. The guilt, unresolved feelings, and misunderstandings on both sides were addressed so well in this book.
Seeing the Karma Club grow in size but mostly in love was the absolute best full circle moment.
“Funny, when they’d initially thought about karma, it had been about avenging the men who’d wronged them, but now she saw it for what it really was: four women who’d been hurt in the past learning to love again, to heal their hearts and find comfort in true friendship. That was the true karma, the true just desserts.”
Do I hear crickets?

The Karma Club wraps up in book 4 in the most perfect way! Sienna still hasn’t gotten revenge on Aiden for breaking her heart 10 years ago. So when stuck at a wedding on a private island with him, her Karma Club friends and her decide to have a little fun with him. But is it karma she seeks or an answer to why he left?
This second chance romance is so so great. I loved the chemistry between Sienna and Aiden and their story.
This whole series was fantastic!

I was so glad to be back in this world and seeing the girls back at their revenge plans at the Karma club. I would definitely recommend reading book 3 as it gives so much context to Blake and Asher before you read this.
I loved seeing the character growth in this from Sienna and Asher, as they both navigate their feelings and go through guilt, regret, anger, pining and desire.
The revenge plot of breaking Asher's heart completely flips when Sienna sees his vulnerable side and learns what happened years ago. It was a raw and emotional journey, but accompanied by the fun antics from the group and the wedding setting and games, it still had a fun and lighthearted atmosphere.
I loved the supportive group, and the final revenge mission was the cherry on top.
It navigates loss well as it looks at what could have been, as well as the raw grief, pain and heartbreak.
It was a bittersweet conclusion to the series, but a compelling resolution with a hea.

After reading the third book, I was SO excited for Sienna and Aiden. I do love a second chance romance. And honestly, the whole thing was ✨chef's kiss✨. A couple of little details bothered me, but I was so enraptured in Sienna and Aiden's story that I ended up completely forgetting about those details.
This book made me feel so many emotions. Many difficult topics are covered in this story and I found myself tearing up a couple times (okay, more than a couple times). I loved how Sienna and Aiden unpacked everything. It felt so raw, so vulnerable, so emotional and so very real. Both MC had so much depth and so much complexity. I think it was beautifully written and felt very relatable.
It was funny, it was emotional, it was vulnerable, it was healing. I love the Karma Club (and the found family) and I am so sad it is over!!
Thank you Netgalley for an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest opinion 🫶🏽

I am unexpectedly really sad that the series is over. I’ve finished the third book yesterday and finished this one just now.
I am still reeling of it from all the emotions in this one, as I knew I would be.
This book dealt with loss, not just of a pregnancy but the loss of innocence, faith in love and loss of hope.
In a lot of ways, this book was the hardest to read out of the four because of the topics covered. While there was still the trademark humor of the series. I won’t lie and say I didn’t spend a ton of time crying, cause I did…..
I don’t remember seeing trigger warnings but the topics mentioned before in the rest of the series are really delved into in this book
Childhood abuse
DV
Alcoholism
Childhood neglect
Abandonment
Teen pregnancy
Pregnancy loss
Revenge porn
Among others
For a bit I didn’t know how this was going to come together and I didn’t know if there would be a HEA.
I was nervous after reading the third book and I was nervous reading this whole book.
The only problem is now I need the side characters to get their HEA
Can we have an honorary karma club series? 😂

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the author, the publisher, Netgalley, for allowing me the privilege of being able to read this incredible book!
Well each book, in this series has dealt with a lot of personal moments that tug at your heart strings, this really got me the most. This was so much more than settling the score. This was raw emotion, that felt so real, as if this time this author was truly drawing from past experiences. If she wasn't my gosh can she make you truly feel Sienna's pain at her past. I'm truly glad each of the girls has finally gotten there karma and their happily ever afters.
If you haven't read the other books in this incredible series you really need too, because everything that happens prior to this book really amplifies what occurs in this book. For a series written by four different authors you would honestly never have noticed. They way they write blends everything so beautifully and you cant not love every single one of them. It was so wonderful to finally have all four of them together for a full book. This book really showed when it said that these books are more than a happily ever after romance, these truly are about finding your soulmate best friends. That is what these stories are really all about and I really loved being able to feel like I was apart of them too! I really truly don't know what to say about this book other that I loved it wholeheartedly and I'm so grateful for this series.
My only issue is that I need them to come together with some kind of novella with chapters written by each with the characters all together in the future showing what there lives become and all that they get up too!
Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for writing this fantastic book, and finishing off this wonderful series with your incredible author friends. The Karma Club series will forever steal my heart!

3.5/5 stars.
This fourth and final book in The Karma Club series is an enjoyable read that wraps up the series on a high note. While it can be enjoyed as a standalone, reading the entire series will enhance your experience and make the individual stories even more enjoyable.
Sienna and Aiden's story is a heartwarming second chance romance that kept me engaged throughout. The author's writing is fantastic, making this a fun and wonderful read. If you haven't already,
I recommend diving into this series for a delightful experience!

Back again with another The Karma Club book. What can I say? These interconnected books are a silly, goofy time. We love rivals-to-lovers situations, and throw in found family and a side of comedy. It's a recipe for success. This book was easy to get into, and the chemistry between the two main characters was realistic. I love a second-chance romance, and the wedding backdrop is unreal. I love that I got to see Sienna's character from the last book come full circle!
📖 / 3.5⭐️

Unbeknownst to me, this book was the fourth installment in a series called the Karma Club. I picked it up as an arc and didn’t realize it until I was already reading. While I found it enjoyable as a standalone, there were some references to previous stories that I believe would have enhanced the reading experience.
In this story, Sienna is forced to reunite with her first love and teenage boyfriend, Aiden, when his brother is getting married to Sienna’s friend and Karma Club member, Astrid. Sienna still holds onto bad feelings for Aiden, who unexpectedly dumped her and ended any contact between them on the way to college. Despite their initial belief in a lifelong love, Aiden had aspirations of becoming a hockey star, which he achieved. Sienna was left in their hometown and, due to circumstances, was unable to pursue her own dreams.
Sienna’s plan at the wedding was to get some light revenge on Aiden but gets way-sided by truths revealed, undeniable chemistry and meddling friends.
The story was an easy read, although I don’t particularly enjoy the second-chance romance trope from a teenage love. However, it did manage to explore some heavier themes. The book is mostly closed-door (with only the start of a spicy scene), and scenes can be easily skipped over.
Overall, this is a good library pick-up, and it may be even better if you’ve read the series.
Thank you, Boldwood Books, for providing this book for review consideration through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are solely my own.

I had such a good time reading this!
I loved these characters a lot, the battles they both had to face were not easy!
Settling the Score is the last book in the Karma Club series. This story is about Sienna and Aiden who were together 10 years ago, until he abruptly left town and her with it. After suffering a lot of trauma and battles Sienna wants revenge and the perfect time? At her best friends wedding, where he's the twin of the groom and the best man! However, will it all go to plan? Or will she be left hurt again? 💓
We have second chance, enemies-lovers 🔥
I feel like I wanted more from this book, like I wanted him to work for her!! But we didn't get any of that and he kinda backed off like he did the first time and it was her who had to make the effort!! I really liked Aiden but I wanted him to be better for Sienna because of the hurt he caused in the past! 😭
Thank you to Clare Connelly & Boldwood Books for the ARC of this book! 💗

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
When her heart was broken by her childhood sweetheart, Sienna Mastrangelo has always wondered what she would do if she saw him again. Well, she's about to find out as she is forced to spend time with her ex, NHL star Aiden Carter, when they're stuck together on an Italian island for the wedding of her best friend and his twin brother. Sienna knows she needs to put on a brave face, and plots to spend the week making his life hell, letting Aiden fall in love with her all over again before discarding him like he did to her. But even the best plans can fail, and seeing him in the flesh has stirred up too many past feelings, especially when it becomes clear he had a very good reason for running out of town the second he was able to.
I'd been waiting for this book from the second I realised it would be a second chance romance. The previous books had just whetted my appetite for Sienna and Aiden's story, as we saw snippets into just what happened and why. Until part way through book #3, we thought Aiden was just another player who the second he made it big forgot about everyone back home. However, this was very much not true, and if he could've taken Sienna with him when he, his twin brother Blake, and their mam fled, he very much would've done. I think I was devastated with him when he learnt what happened with Sienna after that night, and he had honestly never forgotten her, no matter how hard he tried. I understood why Sienna was so apprehensive to let him in again, but she had her girls around her to help her see she was worth it, and that Aiden was perfect for her. A fantastic ending to a series I've honestly falling in love with. Each of the authors are now on my auto-buy list, and I hope they create another interconnected series again!

Settling the Score is the final book in a new multi-author series, The Karma Club. The series is a spicy revenge romance and is perfect for fans of Olivia Goldsmith’s The First Wives Club and Sally Thorne’s The Hating Game. Settling the Score should definitely be read after The Payback Plan, How to Get Even, and The Puck Stops Here.
28-year-old Sienna Mastrangelo spends Christmas Eve stranded at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport due to a snowstorm and hangs out at Just Desserts, a sweets shop. She shares a table with three other stranded female travelers, and the ladies bond over prosecco and desserts. They share their tales of heartbreak and woe, and devise a scheme whereby each lady will seek revenge on another lady’s ex. The plan is to cause chaos in each heartbreaker’s life, not irreparable harm.
Sienna’s heart was broken by her childhood sweetheart, Aiden Carter, who left her and their small North Carolina hometown behind to pursue a hockey career. He was accompanied by his twin brother, Blake, who plays alongside him on the New York Titans NHL team. The original revenge plan was for Sienna to seek revenge on Paige’s ex, Harvey, who posted secret photos and videos of her online. Astrid fell in love with Blake while she was supposed to be getting revenge on Aiden.
Aiden and Blake Carter are known as the Titan Twins among hockey fans; cool-headed Aiden is “Ice” whereas hot-headed and impulsive Blake is “Fury”. While both brothers are standout forwards, Aiden has many lucrative product endorsement (modeling) deals. Since Astrid found out that Aiden is still in love with Sienna, she convinces Paige and Bella to help her plot a reunification plan for Aiden and Sienna. They decide that Astrid and Blake’s destination wedding is the perfect time and trick Sienna into seeking revenge on Aiden.
Settling the Score is a hilarious second chance rom-com with engaging characters. While readers can predict that Sienna and Aiden will find their happily ever after, it’s a delightful journey as they make their way back to each other. Sienna’s love for her young neighbor, Melanie, is precious, and makes her even more likable. The secondary plot of Sienna seeking revenge on Horrible Harry is also gripping, and I was impressed with her persistence and determination. Each story in this series became my new favorite and I hope that these authors collaborate again in the future. The Karma Club stories would make a wonderful TV series.

Having read & loved the first 3 books in this series, I’ve been eagerly looking forward to reading this latest volume, with the touch of sadness that I always feel when coming to the end of a series that I’ve really enjoyed.
Sienna is the main character; she was dumped by Aiden “Ice” Carter eleven years ago when he suddenly left their small town with his mother & twin brother Blake without explanation. She was shocked & terribly hurt; they’d been teenage sweethearts & believed they’d be together forever - hence her devastation when he blocked her calls. She’s been carrying the hurt & anger ever since; it’s really sapped her self-confidence & self belief & she’s struggled to rebuild her life. The recent friendship & support of the girls in the Karma Club has really helped her with that. But now a crisis looms. Astrid is about to marry Blake, & of course both Sienna & Aiden will be at the wedding. They haven’t seen each other in person since he left town, although Sienna has seen him everywhere in the media, playing ice hockey, promoting both the game & his sponsors.
There’s some LOL moments, eg when Sienna & the girls arrive on the island where the wedding is taking place. There’s a lot of heat & intensity between Sienna & Aiden; the old attraction is clearly still there, their friends & family cannot help but notice even if they deny it There’s a lot of raw honesty & pain when Aiden & Sienna finally begin to talk about their lives since they last saw each other, & begin to understand what happened for each other 11 years ago & in the intervening years. There’s hope & redemption, & a second chance as the adult Sienna & Aiden get to know each other. It’s very well written & I found the characters convincing & believable, feeling many of their emotions with them. I loved the way that through the series Sienna, Paige, Bella & Astrid had formed such a close bond. They’d bonded over shared negative experiences with men in their lives, & a desire for some revenge, but in the process each of them has found love & happiness, & a group of supportive female friends that will remain together for a lifetime. This book lived up to my expectations & is a fitting finale to the series. I have no hesitation in recommending it as a great summer read, but ideally the books should be read in order.
With thanks to Netgalley & Boldwood Books for the opportunity to read an ARC of this book.

Review: Settling the Score by Clare Connelly
Publisher: Boldwood Books
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Clare Connelly delivers a sharp, emotionally charged finale in Settling the Score, the last entry in the Karma Club series—a spicy, second-chance, enemies-to-lovers romance set against the sun-soaked backdrop of a luxurious Italian wedding. But don’t be fooled by the postcard-perfect scenery—this one cuts deeper than you expect.
Sienna Mastrangelo is done letting heartbreak define her. A decade after NHL star Aiden Carter left her behind, she’s not just dreaming of revenge—she’s about to execute it, Karma Club-style. The plan? Make him fall for her again, then crush him. Clean. Final. Poetic justice. But plans rarely survive first contact with unresolved feelings, especially when the attraction between them is still nuclear.
What elevates this book above standard romantic fare is its emotional honesty. Beneath the flirty banter, steamy tension, and revenge pranks, there’s real pain: abandonment, grief, broken trust, and childhood trauma. Both Sienna and Aiden are carrying baggage—raw and unresolved—and Connelly doesn’t flinch from unpacking it. There’s heartbreak, but also healing, handled with care and complexity.
Sienna shines as a lead—resilient, grounded, and quietly fierce. And Aiden? He’s more than just a brooding sports god. He’s flawed, vulnerable, and unexpectedly tender. Watching them navigate old wounds to find something new was messy in the best way.
Of course, the Karma Club girls remain the heart of the series. Their friendship is what makes these books sing—raucous, loyal, sometimes chaotic, always real. And yes, justice gets served, even to the series’ most despicable ex (Harvey, your day has come).
A few pacing hiccups and some overemphasis on Sienna’s physical description keep this from a perfect score, but overall, Settling the Score is a satisfying, sexy, and surprisingly soulful wrap-up. If you’re here for heat, humor, heart, and healing—this book brings all four.
Best enjoyed with: Prosecco, your best girls, and a killer revenge playlist.
Release Date: July 24, 2025
Recommended if you like: The Hating Game, The First Wives Club, destination weddings with emotional baggage, and high-stakes second chances.

Settling the Score by Clare Connelly: Book 4 in the Karma Club series
One week. One wedding. One last chance to break his heart… before he steals hers all over again...
Second chance romance
Enemies to lovers
Forced proximity (destination wedding)
Redemption arc
Hockey player MMC
Karma comes to those who wait…
Small town sweetheart Sienna Mastrangelo has spent years dreaming of payback against her ex. Why should Aiden Carter—NHL superstar and global heartthrob—get to leave her behind while she picks up the pieces of the life he shattered? So when The Karma Club formed, it felt like fate had stepped in. Along with her new best friends they each had a chance to serve up some just desserts on those who wronged them. But when plans for Aiden’s comeuppance fall through, it’s time for Sienna to settle the score with the help of her friends.
Author bio: Clare Connelly is the bestselling author of more than one hundred romance novels, and has sold more than four million copies of her books worldwide. Clare is also the co-founder of the How to Write Academy, and the co-writer of the Karma Club series from Boldwood Books.
Review:
I realized as I finished this book that I’m a bookend reviewer for this series written by four different authors. Each book in the series focuses on each of the four different members of the Karma Club, and with the two I’ve read there is enough in the introduction to give the reader an idea of what has happened to each injured party, and the reasons they each desire karma (or, let’s be honest, they really want some schadenfreude–pleasure in seeing that person get his just desserts!). The skillfully told introductions ensure that each of the books can stand alone. I am happy to report that even though I didn’t read the middle two books, I got the gist of what happened with those couples. I’m also very pleased to report that the supreme slimeball got his comeuppance in a way I didn’t see coming, but was indeed schadenfreude of the best kind–and he didn’t even need his own book to get it.
This book did not make me laugh quite as much as the first (no hamsters!), but keep your eyes open for the cricket subplot that brought a good bit of humor. I enjoyed it, however! ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 from me!
Thank you to @lovebookstours, the author @clarewriteslove, the publisher @boldwoodeverafter, and @NetGalley for an opportunity to read and review an eARC of this novel. All opinions are my own.

This was a cute quick read.
This is Aiden and Sienna's story.
I had not read the first 3 books, but now will plan to go read the first 3 books. However, I did not feel that this couldn't read as a standalone book. I didn't feel I had missed out on any pertinent information that was integral to this plot.
Sienna and Aiden have not seen each other in 10 years but due to a wedding, they are back in the same atmosphere. By the way, Aiden broke Sienna's heart.
Sienna is out for revenge and wants Aiden to reap what he sowed, so she sets out to now break his heart.
Finally adult conversations about their past start to happen and both Sienna and Aiden begin to have a much more thorough and mature understanding of one another.
Sienna and Aiden have rough backgrounds, and I will admit, it did make feel a bit emotional. So trauma warning - make sure and check triggers. I loved getting to see them together because this book makes you feel for them and want more for them and for them to be happy.
Loved this story. Read it in one sitting.
I can't wait to go back and read the previous books.
The characters are well developed and I loved the supporting characters as well. The found family vibes were strong in this one.
The plot was well-structured and the pace was great.
You will not regret adding this to your summer reading list if you are into a second chance romance, found family, and traumatic past sort of book vibe!
Thank you so much to NetGalley, Boldwood Books, and Clare Connelly for the opportunity to read and review this ARC!
Happy Reading!

What a brilliant end to what has been such an enjoyable series of books!
The Karma Club has had me hooked from the first book and I love how the books are about 4 great girl friends, it’s written by 4 great women too!
This series follows 4 women who meet by chance while snowed in at Chicago airport. While waiting for their flights, they end up discussing their awful past relationships and decide to get karmic revenge on each others exes.
Settling the Score follows Siennas story. From the previous books you’ll know that she was abandoned by Aiden, the love of her life who she had a future planned with when she was 18 and has spent the last 10 years trying to get over him. When Aiden left town without looking back to become an Ice Hockey star, he left no real explanation for his sudden departure and Sienna had struggled with this ever since.
In the previous book, Astrid was tasked with getting revenge on Aiden but ended up falling for his brother Blake while doing so. They decide to get married on a beautiful Mediterranean island, which forms the basis of Settling the Score. Sienna is faced with seeing Aiden again after all these years but will she finally get revenge and get over him or will old feelings resurface?
She also has to find a way of getting revenge on Paige’s awful ex Harvey who is the worst ex of all. Will she manage to achieve this while her head is spinning with the ghosts of her past life?
This books ties everything up in a neat bow. By the end, every member of The Karma Club has their happily ever after along with the best friends they could ask for.
I love Clare’s easy to read style of writing - I felt like I sped through this book as I don’t want to put it down! There were emotional moments, funny moments and I love how although romance is a big theme in all 4 books, friendship comes out on top!
Although this can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the other books in the series (in order) to get to know all the other characters properly. I really do recommend reading this and the other Karma Club books, they’ve been a joy to read!

May 22, 2025Y finalmente llega el último y más esperado (al menos para mí) libro de The Karma Club, donde por fin nos adentramos en la historia de Sienna Mastrangelo y Aiden Carter.
Sienna, lleva años soñando con vengarse de su ex, Aiden, ahora una superestrella de la NHL y rompecorazones internacional. Después de que él la dejara atrás sin explicación, destrozando su mundo, Sienna se unió a The Karma Club, un grupo de amigas decididas a hacer justicia por los ex que las lastimaron. Cuando el plan contra Aiden falla, Sienna ve su oportunidad perfecta en una boda en una isla italiana: hacerlo caer rendido a sus pies, rogarle una segunda oportunidad… y luego romperle el corazón sin mirar atrás.
En el libro anterior supimos la razón por la que Aiden dejó a Sienna, y aunque sus motivos fueron válidos para empezar de cero, lo hizo de la peor manera: abandonándola cuando más lo necesitaba. Sienna tuvo que afrontar sola un aborto, lo que hace muy difícil para ella siquiera considerar el perdón. Este reencuentro, lleno de tensión y química, sirve como escenario para que ambos enfrenten su pasado y decidan si merece la pena cerrar la herida… o volver a abrir el corazón.
Me gustó la historia y disfruté de los momentos entre ellos, pero honestamente esperaba más, sobre todo de Aiden, especialmente en los capítulos finales. Después de todo lo que Sienna sufrió, debió ser él quien hiciera el gran gesto, quien se arriesgara, quien se expusiera. En cambio, fue ella quien dio el paso más importante, y eso me dejó con la sensación de que faltó justicia emocional para su personaje.
Lo bueno es que el asqueroso de Harvey tuvo su merecido, aunque me hubiera gustado verlo sufrir mucho más y leer como fue a la cárcel.

The Karma Club series is about a group of women who meet at an airport when all flights are shut down due to a snowstorm. Each woman was wronged by a man and, after several adult beverages, they decided to get revenge for each other. Settling the Score is (sadly) the final book in the series. When Astrid was unable to get revenge on Aiden as she fell in love with his twin brother, Astrid and the rest of the group convince Sienna to get her own revenge during the wedding week for Astrid and Aiden's twin, Blake. This time around, she is supposed to make Aiden fall for her again and then walk away. Unknown to Sienna, one of the things Astrid uncovered during her time with the twins was that Aiden never fell out of love with Sienna. And he's actually a good guy so he and Sienna deserve happiness together. But don't worry, Sienna has not forgotten about her original role in the Karma Club and is not about to let Horrible Harvey get away unscathed, especially when she finds an ally at the wedding.
Reading the synopsis, I was a bit worried that the worst of the exes, Harvey, wasn't going to get his just desserts. So I was especially glad that Sienna hadn't lost sight of that goal. I have absolutely loved this whole series and am incredibly impressed, especially with the last two books, that none of the characters' voices seemed to change throughout the series despite being written by different authors. This book contains all of the spiciness, humor, and heart warming friendships expected of The Karma Club. While each book can be read as a stand alone, I would recommend reading all of them - the other three happen more simultaneously so this one should definitely be saved for last.

Settling The Score is the fourth and final book in the series The Karma Club. The story focuses on Aiden and Sienna. The pair fell in love in high school. Aiden, wanting to escape his abusive father and save his brother and mother, broke Sienna’s heart when he left town for college and asked her never to contact him again. With Astrid marrying Blake, Aiden’s twin brother, the pair come face-to-face for the first time in a decade. Sienna’s friends think the best revenge will be for her to flirt with Aiden and then leave him the way he left her. Sienna’s just not sure she can keep her heart out of it.
I liked Sienna and Aiden well enough, though I did not exactly relate to either. For me, I found the level of hurt that Sienna carried for ten years to be extreme. Also, I didn’t really feel a lot of chemistry between them. I wished Aiden had been fully transparent with Sienna regarding the past, especially after he became more truthful and was desperate to win her back for good. Sienna, for her part, was honest about the parts of her past that had to do with him fairly early in the story. Knowing she still loved him, it seemed like a dumb idea to get involved physically with him. At the end of the day, I wanted them to find happiness together, but the whole thing fell a bit flat for me. I wanted them to see Aiden really fight for her, since he was the one who screwed up their relationship to begin with. I thoroughly enjoyed how they stuck it to Horrible Harvey.

Settling the Score is the final installment in The Karma Club collection, and while I’ve really enjoyed the overall concept (a group of women getting sweet, satisfying revenge on their awful exes), I can’t help but feel this was a bit of a missed opportunity.
Each book is written as a standalone and although that can work, I personally got invested in the friend group and really would’ve loved a more connected, cohesive series. We only get tiny glimpses of the other girls and with four different authors across the series, the characters don’t always feel consistent from book to book.
That said, I did enjoy seeing the Karma Club finally tackle their biggest revenge plot, even if we had to wait quite a while for it. There’s something deeply satisfying about seeing these women reclaim their narratives and find love on their own terms. That message, women learning to love again after heartbreak, was my favorite part of the story.
The romance itself was cute, but the “enemies” part of the enemies-to-lovers dynamic felt a bit underdeveloped, since the heat between them reignites almost instantly. The private island setting was fun and breezy.
There were still some lovely moments. I especially appreciated the scene between Astrid (from the previous book) and Sienna (our FMC here). Astrid’s heartfelt speech on her wedding day really stuck with me and definitely made me tear up.
Despite the missed chances, I still had a good time reading this one. It’s an easy, entertaining read with a sprinkle of revenge, romance, and empowerment and that’s always a good combo.

Karma comes to those who wait…
Small town sweetheart, Sienna Mastrangelo has spent years dreaming of payback against her ex. Why should Aiden Carter—NHL superstar and global heartthrob—get to leave her behind while she picks up the pieces of the life he shattered? So when The Karma Club formed, it felt like fate had stepped in. Along with her new best friends they each had a chance to serve up some just desserts on the ex’s that wronged them. But when plans for Aiden’s comeuppance fall through, it’s time for Sienna to settle the score!
Now, with a gorgeous Italian island wedding as her playground, Sienna has one week to make Aiden fall hard, beg for a second chance… then dump him without a backward glance. Throw in a few pranks, some strategic seduction—easy, right? Except their chemistry is hotter than ever, and as the games heat up, so do the long-buried truths...keeping her heart locked away becomes a challenge like none other. But when it comes to this hockey god, there’s no way she’s handing over the key again, even if Karma does have some plans of its own.

I hadn't read any of the other books in the series but it didn't stop me enjoying the book. It's the perfect beach read to read over the summer months. It was easy to follow, had a great cast of characters with some spice added in. I highly recommend it. I will definitely read the rest of the books in the series.
💝 Thank you to @netgalley, Boldwoodb books and the author for my arc ebook copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Sienna has been dreaming of getting revenge on her ex Aiden for years, and now that one of her best friends is marrying his brother, she and her best friends have the perfect opportunity. Sienna has one week to make Aiden fall for her, ask her out, and then dump him without a backward glance, just as he did to her many years before. What Sienna doesn't have planned is for their chemistry to return, hotter than ever...
This book is the fourth in the karma club series, ideal for lovers of Ali Hazelwood and Abby Jimenez. I haven't read the first three books in this series, but as each book is written by a different author and focuses on different members of the karma club you do not need to read them to enjoy this. This book works well as a standalone because you get the background to the karma club and how it began at the start of the book. The chemistry between Aiden and Sienna was well-written and realistic, and the karma club themselves were a joy to read about - I think we all need friends like these girls!
This book was easy to get into, and was a great and relaxed read. I'd recommend this as a perfect summer or vacation read, or as a palette cleanser between thriller and other stronger genre books.

⭐3.75. The last book of the series for these Karma Club women. I enjoyed this book, although it was different than the first three. We are at Astrid and Blake's wedding week on a resort island in Italy, where Sienna and Aiden, former high school sweethearts, are seeing each other for the first time since he left her high and dry, with no explanation!
This book was incredibly less revenge-y than the first three, and even Sienna comments on this—she feels she's letting Paige down. But it's hard to get revenge on the terrible tech-bro who wronged Paige (in my opinion, the most heinous of acts against all these women was by Harvey the Horrible!). Don't worry, while this is not a main focus, we aren't let down!
This is a story of second chance romance, two people afraid to face their past, challenge their own emotions, and be vulnerable with themselves to face the truth. Two people who, so clearly, should be together.
It was a good ending to the series!
🧡 Second chance romance
💛 Lovers to enemies (-ish) to lovers
🧡 Forced proximity
💛 Redemption arc
**one final thought on the series as a whole: the friendship these four women, who randomly found each other in an airport desserts restaurant, is very beautiful. Sometimes, I didn't understand how these women, who had not known each other all that long, would do anything for each other... but I guess that's true friendship, sometimes it just clicks immediately!

After reading the third book in this series, I was really keen to read the next. Although the books are linked, they do work as stand-alone stories, although I think with this forth one, it does help to have read the Puck Stops Here first, as it does set up some of the background for this one.
Second-chance romances are a bit of a mixed bag for me. There has to be a good reason for the romance not to have worked in the first place. Otherwise, who's to say that things will work out this time and there are some people who don't deserve a second chance in any case. Fortunately, for Aiden and Sienna there were some very good reasons for what Aiden did, even if it did break both Sienna and his own heart. There was also the fact that they were very young when they were together before and sometimes, both parts of a couple need to grow up and really become themselves in any case, which they've certainly had a chance to do here.
These books are, for the most part, light hearted and fun reads and I really enjoyed the two that I've read. I really thing that I might have to go back and give books one and two a go as well. Settling the Score was a great conclusion and I really enjoyed it.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily.

I have just loved the Karma Club series and I must admit, I was worried for this one because I thought the main focus would be Harvey and there was no way I could end up liking him.
Thankfully, I was wrong and Settling The Score is a second chance romance set at a beautiful destination wedding.
I have fallen in love with all these characters over the past three books but really had a soft spot for Sienna. This is a beautiful read and I loved how fun it was. Sienna has been invited her friend Astrid's wedding but Astrid is marrying Blake, the twin brother of Sienna's first love, Aiden, who left her unexpectedly a decade ago.
Sienna sets out to seek her own revenge on Aiden by showing him what he's been missing, whilst also trying to work how to the make her friend Paige's ex pay for what he did to her (read the rest of the books in the series and this will all make sense!).
I felt all the emotions with this book, especially when Aiden and Sienna finally hashed out what really happened - why Aiden left abruptly and what Sienna had to go through alone. I enjoyed that it wasn't so clear cut and fluffy. It felt real.
I was also very glad that Harvey's karma wasn't forgotten about and we got a clear conclusion.
The best thing about these books has been the friendship between these women who were thrown together and how much they root for and are there for one another.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for providing this book, with my honest review below.
I’m sad to see The Karma Club series wrap up in Settling the Score, but the wrap up was worth it! The final perspective we get to read about is Sienna, who was out to get her own revenge when her ex Aidan (a very famous hockey player) got spared after fellow club member Astrid fell in love with his twin brother. Finding herself on an island for Astrid’s wedding, Sienna is encouraged to make Aiden weep for abandoning her when she was a teen.
Sienna’s story was revealed in the previous book and this one was just emotional but had a lot of humor to lighten some of the heavy topics. I absolutely loved that the men in this book (bringing back the victims from the series) recognized and celebrated that the true loves were the insta-BFFs in the karma club, and that these ladies only wanted that same female empowerment and support for others. This was exactly the type of wrap up and lesson learnt that you want from a romance series for women, and I was so glad that it wasn’t glossed over.
And now finally - Harvey at last gets his ‘just desserts’ and while I could have read 15 different scenarios on that, my pettiness is glad the ladies didn’t rise above that particular revenge.
