The Revenge Pact by Ilsa Madden-MillsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was provided an ARC via the author in exchange for an honest review.
This book was fantastic! I loved River an Ana. He is the football superstar, frat president, comes from a wealthy family, and exudes the overall bad boy persona. She wears quirky clothes, has lavender hair, has had an unconventional childhood, and works hard to be successful. Ana also has a heart of gold and wants nothing but to become a lawyer so she can help those less fortunate than herself. She and River have a contentious relationship, but she's dating his frat brother so he deals with her by avoiding her as much as possible.
River's life is spiraling out of control as the semester comes to a close. His football career is on the line after a bad season, his grades aren't great, and he is distracted by some personal issues at home. In a moment of weakness he asks Ana for help in a class they share so he doesn't fail the class. In the meantime, Ana finds that her own future is not shaping up as she hoped. As she and River finally discuss the issues between them, they grow closer together and when they finally decide to put themselves ahead of everyone else...let's just say its explosive. The tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife, but this is a slow burn that is worth waiting every second for.
The character development in this was great. We had so many good character arcs that were working around our two main characters. River has great friends and roommates as does Ana. I really loved how each of them had so much compassion for others. I'm really looking forward to the remaining two books in the series. This is the perfect read for this stressful time of year and I highly recommend it!
