"I was going to destroy her the same way she destroyed me, from the inside out."
Dangerous Exes, an all-new contemporary romance in the scorching series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, is coming October 30th
Isla made one teeny little mistake. Now she and her PI company, Dirty Exes, are being targeted by one seriously angry and furiously sexy ex-quarterback. Jessie freakin’ Beckett. But there’s no way some NFL superhunk is going to take her business away. If only he didn’t make her so hot—and bothered.
Jessie wants payback for a ruined reputation. His plan? Top secret. His hard-to-hide arousal for Isla? Not so much. Especially when they let down their guards and sneak a kiss. Like any juicy scandal, it goes so viral, so fast, that only a good lie can combat the bad press. Mortal enemies in a fling? No way. Um…this is love!
Actually…could it be?
Isla’s not faking it. Jessie can’t. As the game of let’s pretend gets real, Jessie forgets all about revenge. That’s the problem. His plan is already out of his control. Now it could undo everything they’ve been trying to build. Coming clean may be the only thing that can save it.

REVIEW:
“There was a very fine line between love and hate.”
From friends to enemies.
Once upon a time, a client came into Dirty Exes to expose her cheating, dirtbag husband. Like any good PI, they followed and tracked his every move only to come to the conclusion that he must be guilty. As time went by they discovered they were wrong, the wife had duped them all. During their espionage, they became close, friends even, with the former dirtbag husband. When all was said and done, the client, aka dirty cheating ho-bag, went public with her tale and crucified not only the innocent and now ex-husband but the PI firm as well.
Jessie was angry, furious, abso-freaking-lutely livid. He worked hard his whole life to get to where he was only to have it destroyed by his evil ex-wife and the stupid PI firm. He’s had enough. Tired of being walked on and his name dragged through the mud, nothing but the sweetest revenge will satisfy his sweet tooth. She destroyed his life and now he was going to do the same her.
Isla is damaged. She knows she is. Her ex did a number on her and even felt the need to blame his infidelity on her. Time heals all wounds, or working to make sure every lying scumbag gets their due does. Unfortunately, the last case blew up in their faces and now Jessie is set on making her life miserable. Why not fight fire with fire? He thinks he can ruin her? Two can play that game.
With battle lines drawn, these two go head to head at every turn. A once simple plan explodes and they find themselves on the same side for once. Each hilarious misstep leads them into a tangled web that pulls them closer together. Lines become blurred, desire ramps up and feelings start to transform. When deception is exposed, this new and fragile relationship starts to crumble.
Fan-freaking-tastic!!! Rachel has a gift for storytelling. Half the time I was belly laughing and the other half biting my lip while frantically reading and turning the page to find out where this crazy story would go next. I adored the characters. Jessie and Isla were strong, stubborn, sarcastic and witty. They perfectly played against one another. Goo-Poh was hilarious- I’m pretty sure she and Grandma Nadine (from The Bet series) were twins separated at birth. Oh! Kitchen counters and flour-can you get any hotter??? This scene was amazing- the spontaneity, the chest-heaving passion-absolutely yum! This is one that you want to dive into. Rachel never fails to take us away from reality and give us a freaking fantastic time in her worlds.
She delivered solid gold with this one!
