New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken returns with a smoking-hot story about the satisfaction of plotting revenge on your ex—until he turns your world upside down again.
Austin Rogers’s dreams of domestic bliss involved watching Netflix and eating hot dogs with the love of her life. But then he cheated on her. And dumped her—as if the whole thing was her fault. To maintain her pride and restore her sanity, she decides to get revenge. It feels immensely satisfying to plot her ex’s downfall—but so does kissing him.
Thatch Holloway, a plastic surgeon straight out of residency, knows he ruined the best thing that ever happened to him. But not all cheaters are created equal. He got himself into this messed-up situation—true—but he has his reasons for what happened, and he’d do it all again to protect Austin.
He’s not over her. And she’s not over him.
Austin wants closure, but since Thatch refuses to give it to her, she takes matters into her own hands. She needs to write a human-interest piece for her MBA, so she demands the full plastic-surgery experience. Sparks fly as they’re forced to work together. But Thatch isn’t afraid to play dirty in return. And he’s still hiding something—something that has the power to destroy not only Austin but their second chance at finding forever…

Austin & Thatch = Thatchtin!
If you could sum up Cheater’s Regret in three words, what would they be?
Sweet, sexy revenge!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Cheater’s Regret?
Cheater’s Regret features the story of Austin and Thatch, they met in the previous book of the series, and what started as a one night stand, quickly turned into a serious relationship until Thatch cheated on Austin and despite she wanted to forgive him for his actions, he broke it off. Austin wanted to get revenge for her broken heart and make Thatch feel her pain, or at least a little bit of it by making him face his biggest fears (including bicycles, icecream hahahaha) But then Austin saw an opportunity of using Thatch for her own benefits and fast the story turned from a silly ways of revenge to a wonderful story, full of romance, sexy innuendos, sexual tension and Austin’s dream life.
I loved the funny moments, the romantic moments and the sexy moments. But my favorite part was the ending. It was AMAZING.
Have you listened to any of Lucy Rivers and Alexander Cendese ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first audiobook narrated by Lucy and Alexander,
Lucy had a young voice, perfect for Austin, transmitting her personality completely. Austin was funny and crazy and smart and eager to have her dream life, with the love of his life, her netflix, hotdogs and lots of sexy moments. All in all, Lucy’s performance was awesome.
Alexander has a sexy voice, it even sounds a little like Sebastian York, very manly and sexy, perfect for Thatch. I loved how he much vulnerable and conflicted he sounded, matching Thatch’s current state of mind, but sadly his female inflexions weren’t good enough for me.
Any additional comments?
I loved Cheater’s Regret, loved the story, the writing, the characters, especially Thatch, I couldn’t have hated him even if I wanted to. He’s my kind of book boyfriend. He’s not a complete bastard, he’s more like a sheep dressed as a wolf, he wanted to show he was a tough asshole who didn’t have any feelings for Austin, but he really wasn’t that. He was amazing and I love him so much.
And I loved how much Lucas and Avery were involved in this story, and I loved seeing them happy in their own HEA.
