‘Fake dating has never been hotter… or more deliciously messy’ Elena Armas
______________________________

Daniela Williams is furious.


A nasty break up after being cheated on is a crappy way to start the year.

What’s worse? Her ex and his new girlfriend are on Daniela’s swim team.

If she wasn’t so against showing she cares about anything, she’d drown him in the pool. This is what she gets for dating teammates.

But Daniela never admits defeat in anything – both in and out of the pool.

Enter Heath Belfort; a captivating and stupidly handsome local surfer. . . and her ex’s biggest swimming rival. Heath smiles through her ex’s jabs and beats him in every race. So, what better way to get revenge than to fake date the one person her ex hates most?

Heath’s up for the challenge . . . on one condition: Daniela agrees to tutor him so he can pass his history class.

Private lessons and staged kisses are just fine with her, but can anyone make it out of a fake relationship unscathed?

Becka Mack, New York Times bestselling author
Buzzy and addicting, Better Than Revenge is a witty and emotionally brilliant romance that hits all the right spots with fake-dating, a toxic ex, and a golden-retriever boyfriend. I couldn't put this one down!
Aamna Qureshi, author of 'The Baby Dragon Cafe'
Better Than Revenge is a fun, hot beachy read packed with sharp humor, sexy tension, and just the right amount of angst. A boy obsessed and a perfectly prickly girl make for an irresistible pairing. Delightfully funny with real depth, it's another standout from EJ Blaise.
Ki Stephens, author of 'Game On'
Witty, emotionally rich, and unputdownable - Better Than Revenge captivates from its opening line to its unforgettable final moments. EJ Blaise delivers once again!
Kanitha P., author of 'All You Need is Gloves'
Sexy, funny, pacy, and a little emotional, I absolutely devoured this read. Dani is such a wonderfully multifaceted character, you can't help but root for her, and Heath - the walking, talking green flag - has officially been added to my roster of blond kings!
Anise Starre, author of 'Just a Taste'
EJ has perfected the art of writing romance. Every interaction between Dani and Heath only left me wanting more. Full of witty banter, relatable characters, and a love story of two perfectly matched people, Better Than Revenge has easily solidified itself as one of my top romance reads.
Zarin Madiyah, Author of 'Coates Academy'
Better Than Revenge had me hooked, swooning, and desperate for one more chapter. With electric chemistry, raw, real characters, and a slow burn romance that hits straight to the heart.
Emma Lucy, Author of 'Live, Ranch, Love'
The only thing better than revenge is buzzy chemistry, effortless wit and a deeply compelling romance at the heart of EJ Blaise's debut. This fake dating romance is the perfect beach read with characters you'll root for and a delicious story that will have you racing to the finish line.
Rufaro Faith Mazarura, Author of 'Skate it Till You Make it'
The black cat x golden retriever romance of my dreams! Better Than Revenge is punchy, witty, and full of so much heart. Not to mention utterly delicious banter! A pitch-perfect college romance - I dare you not to fall for Heath and Dani from the very first page.
Grace Reilly, USA Today bestselling author
Better Than Revenge is the perfect summer romp full of personality and, of course, a touch of revenge. The fake dating trope hits with a little extra sting in this one as Dani sets out to 'get him back' and 'get him back' she does! I especially loved Heath's character. Willing to do literally anything for Dani from the jump, it's impossible not to fall for him from the moment we meet him! Readers will absolutely adore croony Heath and sassy Dani. Witty banter, loads of tension, heaps of drama, and hints of self-discovery as Dani finds her path with Heath by her side (both for the bit and for real) made this one a read to remember.
Esha Patel, Author of 'The Offtrack Series'
Watching a spiky woman fall for a man who loves her edges will never get old, and Better Than Revenge did it perfectly. Delicious prose, complex, relatable characters, and some of the best banter I've ever read; it's actually annoying how good this is. I can't wait to watch EJ Blaise soar.
Georgia Stone, Author of 'The Friendship Fling'
Readers are bound to be swept away by Dani and Heath in Better Than Revenge. EJ Blaise has crafted a beautiful romance, pulling me under with depth of character and endless banter. It's a timeless love story with a relationship dynamic that will stay with me. Better Than Revenge had me kicking my feet and spinning around in my chair in absolute glee from chapter one. An instant favourite.
Meg Jones, author of the 'Game, Set and Match' series
