Omg I finished all of them I even went back and read them all again when I got the opportunity to read this one! I’m in awe of how the authors put this series together! Four authors and four amazing stories! This book is Sienna and Aiden’s yep you read that right! Sienna is getting her own revenge or so she thought!! We already know Sienna’s story thanks to the last book which was heartbreakingly raw and so very real… This story also helps me understand Aiden better.

The Karma Club series is about a group of women who meet at an airport when all flights are shut down due to a snowstorm. Each woman was wronged by a man and, after several adult beverages, they decided to get revenge for each other. Settling the Score is (sadly) the final book in the series. When Astrid was unable to get revenge on Aiden as she fell in love with his twin brother, Astrid and the rest of the group convince Sienna to get her own revenge during the wedding week for Astrid and Aiden's twin, Blake. This time around, she is supposed to make Aiden fall for her again and then walk away. Unknown to Sienna, one of the things Astrid uncovered during her time with the twins was that Aiden never fell out of love with Sienna. And he's actually a good guy so he and Sienna deserve happiness together. But don't worry, Sienna has not forgotten about her original role in the Karma Club and is not about to let Horrible Harvey get away unscathed, especially when she finds an ally at the wedding.

Reading the synopsis, I was a bit worried that the worst of the exes, Harvey, wasn't going to get his just desserts. So I was especially glad that Sienna hadn't lost sight of that goal. I have absolutely loved this whole series and am incredibly impressed, especially with the last two books, that none of the characters' voices seemed to change throughout the series despite being written by different authors. This book contains all of the spiciness, humor, and heart warming friendships expected of The Karma Club. While each book can be read as a stand alone, I would recommend reading all of them - the other three happen more simultaneously so this one should definitely be saved for last.

What a fantastic score ending story. This is number four in the Karma series, but they can be read as stand-alone as each story is told by a different author and has its own unique twists. This one was great, as not only did we get Sienna and Aidens story, and the dramas that unfold there, in the sunshine instead of the ice. I feel for Sienna, but I also understand Aiden, and I think I felt that as I had read the other stories if I’m honest, and I really loved them all. The setting is beautiful and the story flows like a steady wave, you can feel like you’re there with them, enjoying the games and wedding prep. I wonder if we will get another generation of the Karma club, or if we will just enjoy the perfection that is.

This is the final book in the Karma club series.
Four women meet by chance when they are stranded at the airport. Prosecco and cake lead to sharing their stories of heartbreak and worst exes.
In an attempt to get revenge from each others exes, three girls have got their HEA and it’s Siennas turn now.
Sienna and Aiden were loved each other, till Aiden broke her heart - something Sienna has not been able to forgive or forget. Blake and Astrid’s wedding has brought them together under one room after 10 long years. Will she be able to let go of past hurts to give their future a try ?
This was a beautiful and emotional read. They both were justified in their past actions and I enjoyed their journey to healing old wounds and moving forward with rekindled feelings only stronger than before.

I couldn’t wait to get this book after finishing the previous one because I wanted to see what would happen between Aiden and Sienna.

Aiden was a very likable character in the previous book even with how he handled the pranks against him. I wanted him to reconnect with his first love.

I liked the emotion of the book between Aiden and Sienna. I loved the sisterhood between the 4 women.

I couldn’t stop reading to see what would happen and it was an easy read that I enjoyed.

Aiden and Sienna, what a pair, what chemistry. I loved them together, their vulnerability, sacrifice and their loyalty to those closest to them.

I loved the setting, the friends, everything.

The Karma club were such a support to Sienna, guiding her without her realising and just being great women.

I loved how Blake and Astrid were so loved up and helping Aiden and Sienna find their way.

“Revenge is an act of passion”- Samuel Johnson

Sienna had a plan—revenge. A carefully orchestrated takedown of the man who first broke her heart. But as she executes her scheme, one question lingers: Was the fire of first love ever truly extinguished, or is it waiting to blaze again?
At its core, this novel is more than a tale of rekindled romance; it's a celebration of enduring female friendship. Reminiscent of Sex and the City and The First Wives Club, the book thrives on the wit, warmth, and unwavering support of its central friendships. The women in Sienna’s life aren’t just side characters; they are the backbone of the story, proving that love, whether romantic or platonic, is at its strongest when shared.
The writing is sharp, the emotions raw, and the journey unpredictable. Readers will find themselves torn between rooting for revenge and yearning for reconciliation. Ultimately, the book delivers a satisfying mix of humor, heartache, and hope: perfect for anyone who enjoys stories of second chances and unbreakable bonds.

The cricket! Oh my gosh, I laughed so hard.
This story, the final chapter in their Karma Club series, focused on Sienna, chief instigator of the revenge pact, and man does it deliver all the feels.
A delightful plot, on the comforting side of predictable, the chemistry between Aiden and Sienna was amazing and this was the perfect end to a great series.

The Karma Club takes its final bow — and what a bittersweet, satisfying send-off it is.

If you’ve been following this series (and I’ve dipped into book one and three before this), you’ll know the setup: four women meet in the madness of pre-Christmas chaos at O’Hare Airport, bond over Prosecco, cake, and heartbreak, and form an impromptu revenge squad to right the wrongs of each other’s exes. It’s chaotic, cathartic, and laced with humour and heart — but this final instalment adds something deeper.

This time, it’s Sienna’s story. She’s the sensitive, steady one of the group, and the ex in question is Aiden — the same NHL star who broke her heart years ago when he left her behind and never looked back. Except… he did. He has looked back. And he’s been carrying his own guilt, heartbreak, and unspoken love ever since, without ever really admitting to himself.

They reconnect at Blake and Astrid’s wedding on a Mediterranean island (yes, please), and the Karma Club reconvenes for one last “let’s make him suffer” mission — only to discover that maybe the real mission is something far more tender.

This was easily the most emotional of the series for me. Aiden and Sienna’s story had real weight. It’s not just about rekindled feelings; it’s about healing old wounds, understanding the reasons behind bad choices, and learning how to move forward with honesty and vulnerability. The fact that Aiden and his twin brother Blake grew up in an abusive home adds real complexity to his motivations, and the story doesn’t shy away from those darker threads.

Sienna, in particular, shines here. She’s been through it all — heartbreak, loss, grief, self-doubt — and yet she remains a deeply loving, emotionally open character. Her growth felt authentic, and her journey to forgiving Aiden (and freeing herself) was handled beautifully.

And let’s not forget Chuck. Hot, charming, supportive, a total scene-stealer — if there’s a Karma Club extended universe brewing, I volunteer as tribute for the Chuck spin-off.

My one quibble? The repeated references to Sienna being slim and slender. We got it the first time. Readers are perfectly capable of keeping track of what characters look like without having it reinforced on loop. A bit less emphasis would’ve gone a long way.

Still, this was a strong and touching conclusion to the series. The romance was swoony, the friendship between the four women remains the real heart of the story, and the emotional payoff was well-earned. I’ve loved watching this chaotic revenge pact evolve into something genuinely supportive and healing.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley. All opinions are my own 💍🍾

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I had trouble putting this book down. I was instantly hooked! 4 friends who become friends by a chance meeting and are getting revenge on one another's nightmare exs....who wouldn't love that?

I enjoyed the depth of the characters, as the story progressed we learned more about them and they grew throughout the story as well which I appreciate. I didn't feel as though the story was rushed either, it flowed very well. My number one favorite thing was that Aiden and Sienna didn't just fall back in love, it was messy, raw with emotions, and heartwrenching. I really liked that it took hard work on themselves and their inner feelings to come together and see what that next chapter in their love story brings.

5 stars and I'll definitely be reading more of this series!

A cute and fun rom-rom with a second chances romance. The revenge plot in this Karma Klub book was definitely more my style. Normally I'm not the biggest fan of second chance, but it worked very well.
There's banter, tension and a bit of spice! Perfect for a summer Holiday reading.

not the karma club ending!!! i’m unexpectedly sad about this series coming to a close because these girls and their friendship really snuck up on me. while this male lead was my least favorite i still really enjoyed this book, even through the tears. while i did plenty of both, i cried more than laughed, which was also unexpected based off the previous books. this books covered more heavy topics than the others, but i couldn’t imagine any other book to end off this series

I am unexpectedly really sad that the series is over. I’ve finished the third book yesterday and finished this one just now.
I am still reeling of it from all the emotions in this one, as I knew I would be.
This book dealt with loss, not just of a pregnancy but the loss of innocence, faith in love and loss of hope.

In a lot of ways, this book was the hardest to read out of the four because of the topics covered. While there was still the trademark humor of the series. I won’t lie and say I didn’t spend a ton of time crying, cause I did…..

I don’t remember seeing trigger warnings but the topics mentioned before in the rest of the series are really delved into in this book

Childhood abuse
DV
Alcoholism
Childhood neglect
Abandonment
Teen pregnancy
Pregnancy loss
Revenge porn
Among others

For a bit I didn’t know how this was going to come together and I didn’t know if there would be a HEA.
I was nervous after reading the third book and I was nervous reading this whole book.

The only problem is now I need the side characters to get their HEA
Can we have an honorary karma club series? 😂

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for providing this book, with my honest review below.

I’m sad to see The Karma Club series wrap up in Settling the Score, but the wrap up was worth it! The final perspective we get to read about is Sienna, who was out to get her own revenge when her ex Aidan (a very famous hockey player) got spared after fellow club member Astrid fell in love with his twin brother. Finding herself on an island for Astrid’s wedding, Sienna is encouraged to make Aiden weep for abandoning her when she was a teen.

Sienna’s story was revealed in the previous book and this one was just emotional but had a lot of humor to lighten some of the heavy topics. I absolutely loved that the men in this book (bringing back the victims from the series) recognized and celebrated that the true loves were the insta-BFFs in the karma club, and that these ladies only wanted that same female empowerment and support for others. This was exactly the type of wrap up and lesson learnt that you want from a romance series for women, and I was so glad that it wasn’t glossed over.

And now finally - Harvey at last gets his ‘just desserts’ and while I could have read 15 different scenarios on that, my pettiness is glad the ladies didn’t rise above that particular revenge.

The last book of the Karma Club series and I’m kind of sad that it’s over. Aiden was not my favorite main male character from the series - I still can’t figure out why he wasn’t honest with Sienna when his family left town. I did appreciate Sienna’s work ethic and loyalty to her semi-step-daughter and her friends. Their differing family backgrounds associated with alcoholism were realistic.

The destination island wedding made a great backdrop for involvement from all the couples from the first three books. I am so glad Chase and Oliver made appearances in this installment. The last portion was a nice closure to the series and spotlighted the friendship these women have made over the four books.

Thank you Boldwood Books for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley.

This book pulled out all the emotions in me but I really enjoyed it. I love the bond and friendship between Sienna and the karma club girls, they're such a great friend group. Sienna and Aiden had a long journey but I was happy to see how their story ended. I enjoyed how all the karma club ladies got their happy endings. I really had a great time reading this book and finished it in one afternoon.

So let me start by saying I have not read books 1-3 so I am jumping into the series late. With that being said, the beginning took me a minute to get hooked. But once I was, I absolutely loved the book. I felt for the characters individually and believed their storyline of what made them who they are. I loved Sienna and Aiden. I flew through this book and really enjoyed the author's humor and writing style. Before I knew it, I was at the end and loved every minute of it. This is a great read, but given the chance for a do-over, I would probably start with book one. Just in case I missed something. Thank you to Clare Connelly, Boldwood Books, and NetGalley for the ARC.

Y finalmente llega el último y más esperado (al menos para mí) libro de The Karma Club, donde por fin nos adentramos en la historia de Sienna Mastrangelo y Aiden Carter.

Sienna, lleva años soñando con vengarse de su ex, Aiden, ahora una superestrella de la NHL y rompecorazones internacional. Después de que él la dejara atrás sin explicación, destrozando su mundo, Sienna se unió a The Karma Club, un grupo de amigas decididas a hacer justicia por los ex que las lastimaron. Cuando el plan contra Aiden falla, Sienna ve su oportunidad perfecta en una boda en una isla italiana: hacerlo caer rendido a sus pies, rogarle una segunda oportunidad… y luego romperle el corazón sin mirar atrás.





En el libro anterior supimos la razón por la que Aiden dejó a Sienna, y aunque sus motivos fueron válidos para empezar de cero, lo hizo de la peor manera: abandonándola cuando más lo necesitaba. Sienna tuvo que afrontar sola un aborto, lo que hace muy difícil para ella siquiera considerar el perdón. Este reencuentro, lleno de tensión y química, sirve como escenario para que ambos enfrenten su pasado y decidan si merece la pena cerrar la herida… o volver a abrir el corazón.

Me gustó la historia y disfruté de los momentos entre ellos, pero honestamente esperaba más, sobre todo de Aiden, especialmente en los capítulos finales. Después de todo lo que Sienna sufrió, debió ser él quien hiciera el gran gesto, quien se arriesgara, quien se expusiera. En cambio, fue ella quien dio el paso más importante, y eso me dejó con la sensación de que faltó justicia emocional para su personaje.

Lo bueno es que el asqueroso de Harvey tuvo su merecido, aunque me hubiera gustado verlo sufrir mucho más y leer como fue a la cárcel.

Settling the score is a cute, funny and quick read. I had liked Aiden as a side character in Blake and Astrid’s story and was excited to read his story with Sienna.

What I loved❤️:
- The karma club girls, I hadn’t read the first two on the series so it was nice to get to see more of Bella and Paige. Also, Chase and Olly hinting at the terrible things the Karma club did to them 😂
- Sienna and Aiden had such a tough time when they were teenagers. I’m not going to lie, their reminiscing about how hard things were back then for them made me cry a few times. I haven’t read a couple that deserved a happy ending more than them.
- I loved seeing Astrid and Blake happy together. They are couple goals.

I’m so sad that this book is over, the only thing consoling me is that I have Bella and Paige’s story to catch up on, the first is already out and the second I’ll only need to wait a couple of days until it’s released 🥳 I’m not done with the Karma club yet.

Thank you to NetGalley and Boldwood books for the opportunity to read this ARC.
