too-confident Max Emory suddenly feels lost. He may have devastatingly good
looks, an abundance of charm, and a claim to one of the biggest hotel empires
around, but he has no ambition anymore. So when his fed-up friends decide
they’ve had enough of his moping, they sign him up to be the next bachelor on
the reality series Love Island. And between his pride and his forged signature
on an ironclad contract, Max just can’t say no.
Now he’s stranded in paradise with twenty-four women, oneterrifying goat, and Becca, the breathtaking barista who already turned him down back home. The closer Max gets to Becca, the more determined he becomes to win her over. As she gets to know him better, things start heating up. But is Becca really after Max’s heart—or is she after the cash prize she could claim once the cameras stop rolling?

REVIEW:
The main thing I loved about The Consequence of Revenge is that it made me laugh so loud and hard that no matter what was going on, I always had a smile on my face. It's worth buying just for that alone. After all laughter is the best medicine.
There were also several things that I did not expect and it kept me on my toes.
The characters(Max, Reid, Colton and Milo) all made the book amazing. Rachel has created characters that readers will fall in love with and I don't know about anyone else but I cannot wait for more!
I'm not going to say any more because then I'll likely either spoil the book or start gushing but I strongly urge you to go buy this book!

“You mean . . .” I licked my lips, then slapped the water.
“In the kindest way you can possibly say it, ‘Oh, look, Max has boobs’? Or you
mean it in the way that says I lack the proper sexual magnetism to get your
engine going?”

“Hmm.” She was looking down at her feet. So I did what any
desperate man who’d just been insulted in the worst way possible would do. I
grabbed her feet, dragged her into the water, creating a huge splash, and then,
when her head popped up for air, I gave her something else.

Kissing Becca could become a very nice, very addicting . . .
pastime. Her lips were soft, pliant, but her hands were beating against my
chest. Ah, classic move. Listen up, men: women fight us because they’re
expected to. They have to put up the fight so they don’t come off as easy. So
the next time a girl hits you in the chest, go with it, kiss her harder. It
just means she wants more, especially when her chest is heaving and her tongue
is doing . . . that. Yeah, exactly. Oh. Hell. Damn. Kill me now. When her
tongue is doing that? Becca’s tongue pushed against mine and then she sucked.

I felt said sucking all the way through my body.
When she stopped fighting me, I wrapped my arms around her
neck, pulling her as close against me as I could, and then pulled away.
