Summary

From the mind that brought you Dirty Little Midlife Crisis comes a funny， fast-paced ride that starts with an impulsive revenge scheme but might just end up a love story。

Even after their breakup， Ellie Davis can’t seem to shake her ex-fiancé。 First it was the cheating， then it was the rumors， and now she finds out Jason’s been trying to get his greedy hands on her parents’ property。 Where does it end？ With revenge， Ellie decides。

But she might just need a little help first。

Enter Fernley Island’s OddJobs app。 When the local boat mechanic she hires sends his nephew instead， Ellie has to readjust her plans to account for Hugh Hartford， who’s handsome， brooding， and only in town for a few days。 But he keeps showing up， so Ellie keeps hiring him。 Little does she know Hugh has his own reasons for investigating Jason Brownlow…

As more evidence against Jason turns up， so does the heat between Ellie and Hugh。 But if revenge is a dish best served cold， can their spark survive—or will the secrets between them burn it out？

I couldn’t even get through the first chapter， before finding 3 typos and giving up。 The writing is also very juvenile。 Felt like I was reading a 16y/o’s fanfic。 Not worth my time。

I liked a good portion of the story but a few things drove me crazy。 1。 Authors。。。 Please stop with money is bad。 Some people are terrible people but they are whether they have money or not。 2。 The h is arrested for vandalism which would not happen if there was no damage。 A good attorney would have torn the case apart。 3。 The H ends up taking the blame for everything when the h finds out something she didn't know yet she gets a pass for her own bad behavior。 The story is worth the read and I am I liked a good portion of the story but a few things drove me crazy。 1。 Authors。。。 Please stop with money is bad。 Some people are terrible people but they are whether they have money or not。 2。 The h is arrested for vandalism which would not happen if there was no damage。 A good attorney would have torn the case apart。 3。 The H ends up taking the blame for everything when the h finds out something she didn't know yet she gets a pass for her own bad behavior。 The story is worth the read and I am sure that most will love it。 It is full of gotcha moments which my wife lives for。 I do like the authors writing style and will try another one of her stories。 。。。more

I could have finished this a bit quicker than I did but I found it hard to keep interested。 I liked the story but nothing really stuck out to me to keep me going。 I would ready a chapter or two and put it down to pick it up later。 Overall good read but needed a little more oomph to keep you interested。

This is the first book I read from this author。 I really enjoyed the book and was laughing from the first chapter。 Ellie has a way of getting caught up in sticky situations and is very passionate about what she believes in。 Hugh comes into town to deal with his estranged father’s land and expects to be in for a few days until he runs into Ellie， or rather she runs into him。 Characters in the story are well developed， and it’s easy to point out the villain real quick。 With the help of Hugh and El This is the first book I read from this author。 I really enjoyed the book and was laughing from the first chapter。 Ellie has a way of getting caught up in sticky situations and is very passionate about what she believes in。 Hugh comes into town to deal with his estranged father’s land and expects to be in for a few days until he runs into Ellie， or rather she runs into him。 Characters in the story are well developed， and it’s easy to point out the villain real quick。 With the help of Hugh and Ellie’s family， they are able to help her out of the remnants of a bad relationship， and get her life back together。 。。。more

Chock full of chaos and mischief。 A fun read。 It stalls a little at the 75% mark but ends with a HEA。 4 solid stars！！！！！

This was an easy read。 It had humor， romance and revenge all rolled into one。 The FMC had me hooked from beginning to the end。 Loved how the story ended。 Thank you to netgallery for this ARC。

JOYCE PITTARD ，

Ok readNot as good as the Cove books。 I liked Ellie and Hugh and other characters in the book。 There were parts that sort of dragged on。 I found myself skipping through pages to move on。 Loved the plot and all but feel it could have been vacation little shorter。

Penny Wright ，

“The Human Sized Firecracker”Four Steps to the Perfect Revenge is an exciting read。 There is mystery， romance， family， eccentric friends， heat， laughs and a sweet， sweet dog called Louie。 I also love it when the bad guy gets his！ Read it to find out how！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 3 stars。 It’s an okay read， but I found it long and torturous in parts。 With an annoying fmc。 Not what I expected from this author。

A fun and fast paced read。 Ellie meets High in not the best way， but soon he is helping her out。 What will happen when she finds out what secret he has been keeping from her？

Different but in a good way This was a different story but it was still really good。 I loved the antics and the way she never gave up。

I liked the storyline and the fact that I laughed。 Loved that Ellie was a hot mess but so relatable。

Lilian wrote a fun story with this one。 Not a lot of steamy sumpin sumpin but the characters were crafted with good depth。 Excellent use of music， songs of which are classic and I've added to my own playlist。 Good stand alone that offered fun， revenge， and plotting against an evil man。 Lilian wrote a fun story with this one。 Not a lot of steamy sumpin sumpin but the characters were crafted with good depth。 Excellent use of music， songs of which are classic and I've added to my own playlist。 Good stand alone that offered fun， revenge， and plotting against an evil man。 。。。more

Four Steps was a really fun， intense and romantic book that I Unexpectedly loved。 It’s the type of book where you can’t help but root for the characters， as well as their relationship。This was my first book by Lilian Monroe and I’m impressed。 The opening chapter sets up the main character perfectly and you immediately jump into the plot。 Our main character， Ellie Davies is a passionate， opinionated and down on her luck ex-event planner who’s on a rescue mission with her best friend Wyn to save h Four Steps was a really fun， intense and romantic book that I Unexpectedly loved。 It’s the type of book where you can’t help but root for the characters， as well as their relationship。This was my first book by Lilian Monroe and I’m impressed。 The opening chapter sets up the main character perfectly and you immediately jump into the plot。 Our main character， Ellie Davies is a passionate， opinionated and down on her luck ex-event planner who’s on a rescue mission with her best friend Wyn to save her dog who’s basically being held hostage by her slimy ex-fiancé Jason。 At first， you may think this Mission Impossible style rescue is excessive but once you find more out about her vile ex， you get with the program and feel like you’re there with them。 After her best friend is injured and the rescue mission fails， Ellie returns to local grump Lionel with the hope he can take them to the hospital。 But this doesn’t happen。 Ellie sees what appears to be an intruder attempting to enter Lionels House and whacks him with bolt cutters， exclaiming that she’s stopped the burglar。 Turns out it is not a creepy thief but a handsome Hugh， nephew to grumpy Lionel who was trying to repair something。 I did laugh here because Ellie really thought she’d saved the day， a reaction most would have， I think！ Hugh has returned to the island following the death of his estranged father who left a hefty amount of land to him as an inheritance。 He’s certain he will sell the land to a developer who wants to build an up-and-coming luxury resort。 Jason is one of the guys involved in this development and is desperate to get his hands on this land as well as Ellie’s parents’ property。 Hugh is dragged into a plot that has resulted in the poisoning of the Davies family’s sheep where the pair find out Jason paid an unknowing local to ‘feed the sheep’。 The plot to get this land is becoming more and more violent and aggressive with Jason manipulating everyone who listens to turn against Ellie， something Hugh is not willing to do。 The two work together to gather proof that Jason is a fraud while they also get closer to one another。 I really enjoyed this。 It was fun， wholehearted and generally just a joy to read。 It definitely makes me want to read more of Lilian’s books。 Thank you for the eARC！ 。。。more

Hugh and EllieAnother fun book from Lilian Monroe。 Just loved Ellie and her quirky personality and then along came Hugh。 The perfect compliment to her。 Of course all around them is Ellie’s family who are just as quirky as her and the rest of the island。 Just a fun book to read with some heat thrown in。 Thanks for，the read。 Enjoy

So， I laughed， cried， bit my nails off， and danced – yes， danced （did you see the musical references in this novel？！？） – my way through Lilian Monroe’s latest offering， and I don’t think I’ve read anything better， or， more personally moving， recently。I think a lot of folks might not know what to make of this novel because it doesn’t fit what is customary from this author。 It’s definitely not her usual and I believe that might throw off a lot of people; however， I think it’s a beautifully-rendere So， I laughed， cried， bit my nails off， and danced – yes， danced （did you see the musical references in this novel？！？） – my way through Lilian Monroe’s latest offering， and I don’t think I’ve read anything better， or， more personally moving， recently。I think a lot of folks might not know what to make of this novel because it doesn’t fit what is customary from this author。 It’s definitely not her usual and I believe that might throw off a lot of people; however， I think it’s a beautifully-rendered effort and is well worth a read。Here's why:Firstly， it’s adeptly written in third person。 Ms。 Monroe tried a third person voice in a previous novel and has learned how to “do it better” this time around， in my opinion。Secondly， this a slow-burn romance， instead of a medium- or short-burn thing， as she has written in the past。 It’s also more slowly paced， in general， but I believe the mystery/suspense aspects of the novel are more than enough to offset that feature。 I stayed interested and invested throughout the novel。Thirdly， it has several deep， sub-plot layers – interpersonal relationship questions， existential/moral morasses， as well as the aforementioned mystery/suspense elements。 By the way， all of these elements， the author deftly handles， again， in my opinion！Fourthly， the author’s narrative voice is more lyrical here than what we， her readers， are used to seeing。 I’ve always loved the way Ms。 Monroe is able to perfectly describe a scene so that the reader feels as though he/she is right there with the characters。 For me， the more poetic prose of this novel heightens each descriptive passage and makes each scene even more brilliant。Finally， the novel also has something else the author rarely indulges in – a hefty dose of “internalizations。” Those are generally off-putting to me， but in this novel， those actually enhance the forward momentum of the story。 The internal ruminations of the main characters， Hugh and Ellie， show an EVOLUTION of their characters’ mindsets – their feelings， both toward themselves， and toward their situations/environments – and， I absolutely love to see characters evolving！ The icing on the cake here is that Ms。 Monroe manages to avoid becoming excessively repetitive with her characters’ internal dialogs。 So， for me， I absolutely enjoyed the heck out of seeing Ms。 Monroe step out of her readers’ “comfort zones，” and I applaud her for a well-done effort。 In my mind， this novel is a definite MUST READ。 I highly recommend it to contemporary romance fans。 （And， I’m putting my money where my mouth is – I’ve just purchased this novel so I can read it again and again – something I rarely do！） 。。。more

This was such a fun read！ I read it in a day。 Ellie’s actions， while slightly unhinged at times， were driven by clear motivations that made sense。 Her circumstances influenced her behavior so I won’t be harsh on her。 Hugh was a well written character。 The side characters were fun for the most part， although I think Wynn deserved more on-page time。 The suspense part was enjoyable and smarmy Jason got what he deserved。 I loved it otherwise and almost gave it 5 stars but Some parts unfortunately dr This was such a fun read！ I read it in a day。 Ellie’s actions， while slightly unhinged at times， were driven by clear motivations that made sense。 Her circumstances influenced her behavior so I won’t be harsh on her。 Hugh was a well written character。 The side characters were fun for the most part， although I think Wynn deserved more on-page time。 The suspense part was enjoyable and smarmy Jason got what he deserved。 I loved it otherwise and almost gave it 5 stars but Some parts unfortunately dragged on， especially the third act breakup。 I wish the main characters reconciled sooner。 。。。more

Excellent Funny， captivating， and mysterious all n one。 I laughed hard and rejoiced when justice was served。 It kept me interesting from beginning to the end。

The beginning sequence of this story had me laughing out loud and I was so excited to work through this story。 and overall， I enjoyed it but the issues that cropped up with Ellie and Hugh were kind of silly， mostly from Ellie's perspective。 That felt forced， especially the level of the grievance that was portrayed。 That said， there were plenty of humorous parts and I really enjoyed the slow progression of their relationship。 The cast was a fun group of characters （Lionel， Hugh's uncle） was a hoo The beginning sequence of this story had me laughing out loud and I was so excited to work through this story。 and overall， I enjoyed it but the issues that cropped up with Ellie and Hugh were kind of silly， mostly from Ellie's perspective。 That felt forced， especially the level of the grievance that was portrayed。 That said， there were plenty of humorous parts and I really enjoyed the slow progression of their relationship。 The cast was a fun group of characters （Lionel， Hugh's uncle） was a hoot and while the end felt rushed I had a good time reading。 Thanks to Netgalley， the author and publisher for an early read。 。。。more

This entertaining rom-com is engaging and enjoyable with defined MCs and good secondary characters。 The storyline is interesting， well-written and I liked it。 I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review。

Prefer FMCs with intelligenceI have loved the humor and plotlines in other series by this author， but I heartily disliked this story。 If anyone could shoot herself in the foot， it would be Ellie， and she did it repeatedly， from leaving evidence of her trespassing presence by giving a dog her sock （saw that as soon as it happened） to poorly thought out plans to expose her ex。 Not a fan of the impulsive foolish female stereotype depicted in this story。 Usually when the author has this type of thin Prefer FMCs with intelligenceI have loved the humor and plotlines in other series by this author， but I heartily disliked this story。 If anyone could shoot herself in the foot， it would be Ellie， and she did it repeatedly， from leaving evidence of her trespassing presence by giving a dog her sock （saw that as soon as it happened） to poorly thought out plans to expose her ex。 Not a fan of the impulsive foolish female stereotype depicted in this story。 Usually when the author has this type of thing going on with a female lead in other stories， there is some humor involved and it fits the storyline。 Not so here。 Putting it harshly， it seems Ellie bungled her way to the finish line， leaving me frustrated for some semblance of a logical well thought out plan。 Recommend a pass on this one。 。。。more
