I thought this book was thoroughly engaging. Lots of fun and just the right amount of spice

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When a snowstorm hits O’Hare airport and cancels all outgoing flights, is it fate that four women find themselves at the same table? The four spend their time sharing their down on their luck love stories and realise there may be a way to help each other out. Each taking one of the other’s ex’s they come up with a plan to teach them a lesson…

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Paige travels to Cornwall to spend two months with Belle’s ex Oliver, who is the son of an Oscar winning star. He also jilted Belle on the day of their wedding. So Paige arrives with a few plans up her sleeve (including an overweight hamster called Flower) to try and teach Oliver a lesson.

I really did enjoy this one and the only reason I gave it three stars is it felt a bit long and just took me a while to read it. I just didn’t get that can’t put it down feeling with this one. But still a great book!

The Payback Plan is the first of four novels in The Karma Club series. Each written by a different popular romance novelist. This series seems so fun and well set out I can’t wait to read the other three!

Thank you Amy Andrew’s, Boldwood Books and Netgalley for this advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book in the multi-author series The Karma Club. While it can theoretically be read as a standalone, this series is even more enjoyable when read in order. This book is Paige and Oliver's story, which is beautifully written with plenty of humor, making the book very entertaining. The characters are endearing and relatable. They have great chemistry, and I loved them together.
Thank you to NetGalley, Boldwood Books and Amy Andrews for an ARC.

Cute, quick, and silly, but definitely not remotely memorable. If you’re looking for a quick summer rom-com, grab this one!

Thanks to NetGalley, Boldwood Books, and the author for the chance to read this book.

Love the crazy start to the story and friendship between the 4 women. Obviously, it would never happen in real life, but that's the great thing about reading a book - to escape reality.

The antics of Paige to irritate Olly were highly amusing and would definitely drive me insane. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series , so thank you, Boldwood Books, for approving my request for all four books. 😍

4.5* absolutely loved this book so much that I couldn’t put it down and finished it in one sitting.

The premise of the book is fantastic and I already cannot wait to read the rest of the Karma Club series.

Paige is absolutely hell bent on ruining Oliver’s life in revenge for him jilting his ex on their wedding day by text! But as she spends more and more time with him, her feelings start to change. I love the build up of their relationship especially with Caspar and Pavarotti.

Would highly recommend for anyone who loves a quick humorous romance.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood books for my arc.

Thank you to NetGalley and to Boldwood Books for this e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

So, this is book one of a new series and I gotta say - I have pretty high hopes for this series after this one! This was the most perfect & hilarious story of four women meeting for the first time when they are snowed in at O'Hare airport. They meet and the way that these women bond over slices of red velvet cake, wine, and stories of heartbreak from their exes was absolutely the best part. I found myself laughing as they created a plan to get revenge - it sounded foolproof (not) and just made me crack up.

Paige is up first and for her she travels to Cornwall in order to turn Bella's exes Oliver life upside down. Oliver is a grump and I gotta admit - I like the grump angle! Oliver ended up dumping Bella via a text on the day of what should have been their wedding - pretty slimy move I gotta say! Paige unleashes the payback plan - she moves in, dirties up his house, and brings home a stray dog (yay for dogs in books!) but what she doesn't prepare for is the fact that she also gets to know Oliver. He's not that bad of a guy but she's torn - does she let down the friends she met? Or does she ignore the feelings that are building between her and Oliver?

This book really had it all - I giggled, and I cringed, and I just had a really good time reading this one and watching it all unfold. I look forward to the next book in the series also!

OMG. I am absolutely obsessed with this book! The whole payback plan was brilliant and i loved the characters and the storylines. Cant wait to read the rest of the series

An enjoyable revenge-pact romance centred on Paige, who, stranded at the airport in a snowstorm, meets Astrid, Bella and Sienna and form a pact to get revenge on each other's no good exes. Paige finds herself in Cornwall and causing mayhem in the life of Ollie, who called off his wedding to Bella mere hours before the event. Hilarity ensues as Paige messes with Ollie's well-ordered life, bringing along an overweight hamster (and bombarding Ollie's phone with texts from 'Hamster Facts'), causing havoc in the kitchen with over-enthusiastic baking, and unwittingly bringing a stray dog home. Unfortunately for Paige, fate has other ideas and, revenge turns into fighting feelings for the man she is supposed to hate on Bella's behalf. What follows is an interesting take on enemies to lovers as Paige and Ollie struggle with their growing attraction, Ollie accepts he needs to deal with his feelings about his late father, and Paige deals with how to follow through on the revenge pact when Ollie might just be her happy ever after,
An entertaining opening to this four book series, the story flows well, and, whilst Paige may be breaking every rule of the girl code by falling for Ollie, Bella's reaction means you can root for the happy ending Paige and Ollie deserve.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a fun book. I really enjoyed it!

Paige, Bella, Astrid and Sienna meet at the airport and bond over their mishaps with men. And all decide to teach the men who hurt them a lesson.

Paige is tasked with teaching Bella’s ex Oliver a lesson after he jilted her at the altar by text!!!

But as Paige and Oliver get closer, how will Bella react and will it continue after Oliver find out about the payback plan?? Will they find there way back to each other or not

I loved this book, it was so good and super funny.
The bit that made me chuckle the most was about the toilet roll and the correct way to do it which is obviously over the top not underneath.

This book is a fun, feel-good revenge-to-lovers rom-com with lots of laughs and heart! When Paige and a group of women bond over bad exes, they hatch “The Payback Plan”—and Paige ends up moving in with Oliver, her new friend’s runaway ex-fiancé. What starts as sabotage turns into something real, as Paige discovers there’s more to Oliver than meets the eye. The story is sweet, funny, and full of chemistry, though I struggled a bit with the writing style and third-person POV. Still, a great start to a series I’ll be following!

I loved this story. So relatable. I mean, how many of us have wanted revenge on our ex's?? 🤣🤣
Loved reading about Paige and Olly falling in love and I can't wait to read the rest of the Karma Clubs love lives.

This book brought me literally all of my favourite things in romance. I’ve lost count of how many Amy Andrews books I’ve devoured over the years, but The Payback Plan is exactly why I keep coming back to her writing. She’s set the bar sky-high for the other authors in this series, and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the characters and their stories unfold

This is the first book in the Karma series. This book centered on Paige Parker. When Paige is at the airport, there is a lack of tables at the Cafe and she ends up sharing a table with three other women, who are all reeling from heartbreak. As thew women sit and get to know one another, they agree to that their exes all deserve some comeuppance, and a plan is hatched, the payback plan. Bella has been jilted at the altar by text by her fiance, Oliver Prendergast., Paige is determined to get revenge for her.

Bella convinces Oliver to let Paige move in for a few months as a favour, it is the least he can do for her. Paige sets about being as irritating as she can be from day one, playing the violin badly, leaving a mess everywhere and with her overweight hamster taking center stage. But as time pregresses, Paige sees that maybe things arent as they appeared, that maybe Oliver is not the insensitive oaf he appeared to be at first. Before they know it, they find themselves fallng for one another, but there may be too many secrets and issues between them to form a relationship.

This was such a cute and fun read. This was my fisrt book by this author, but I will definietly be reading more of her books.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishing house, Boldwood Books and the author, Amy Amdrews for the opportunity to read a complimentary ARC copy of this book in return for a review based upon my honest opinion.

There is just something about Amy Andrew's writing that speaks to me. She is one of the funniest authors and The Payback Plan made me laugh out loud no less than 5 times. The chemistry is top notch and Paige and Olly are a super fun match. This was the first book in a series written by different authors and I excited to see what happens next in this world.

I think this would’ve done better for me if it had been first person POV with multiple POV’s. I had a hard time keeping track and figuring out who was who with the friend group and characters. I also just don’t do well reading 3rd person POV in general. This didn’t hook me or hold my attention. I have seen other good reviews so I’m sure it is great but just didn’t work for me.

I read the second book first, so I knew a little bit about this story before I began. I really liked their slow burning in the beginning.

Paige was so sweet. She immediately felt sorry after she kissed Oliver, and she wanted to tell Bella immediately. Oliver was such a stupid guy, I would never want to keep this from one of my best friends.

And still don't fully understand why Oliver had to break up with Bella via text. Couldn't he just walk to her room and tell her. I wanted a better explanation, not the one we were given.

Snowed in at O'Hare airport Paige Parker meets three other women at a cafe. Over cake and wine they devise a plan to wreak havoc in the lives of their former ex's. Bella who was jiltted at the alter by Oliver Prendergast is Paige's mark. Bella asks Olly for a favor and since he feels terrible for what he had done to Bella he agrees. When Paige shows up in Cornwall she does anything and everything to get under Oliver's skin. This is book 1 ine the Karma Club series and you will not be disappointed by the book. It is a laugh out loud book with plenty of spice. I also like that each book is written by different authors and how one flows into the next seamlessly. I would like to thank both NetGalley and Boldwood Books for letting me read an advanced copy of this book.

Thank you to netgalley and boldwood for an advanced copy.

This book wasn’t for me. It took me longer than anticipated to finish it as I felt as though it dragged on for longer than required and I didn’t feel hooked with the story line. However, the writing was well done, so I would happily read another book by this author.
