What do you do when an older brother and friend meddle in your life? Revenge, of course! What a perfect set up for this light-hearted, wonderful romance.It's not easy being the only girl in the family. Amanda has SIX brothers! That might be cause for a bit of a buzz kill for any guy that dares get close to Amanda. Hence the reason she's lived far too sheltered a life. It takes Amanda the duration of this book, but step by step, she begins to branch out on her own and do things her brothers would go crazy over...and do! I felt for her. I have an understanding of being too protected. Amanda comes off as a doormat sometimes, but she does grow during the story. She gains the ability to stand up to others that push her around. I admired her for that.Cole, a family friend, is the hero of the book. He finds himself in a bit of a predicament...what else could he do? Cole and Amanda have known each other for a long time, little does either know what's in store for the both of them.The Virgin's Revenge is a feel good, romantic comedy story that also has plenty of character growth. With reading this story, it's my first time being introduced to the author's work, and I very much enjoyed this. There's plenty of situations that made me laugh and smile, and I wanted a victorious, happy ending for Amanda and Cole!The secondary characters play a strong role throughout the story. Amanda's oldest brother, Locke, for instance. He's a bit of a pushy, stuffy man even though I knew he had honest intentions. He's a character that intrigued me and I have hopes for a story of his own. I'd love to know what drives him to do some of the things he does.Overall, The Virgin's Revenge captured my heart. I was left with a smile on my face after I finished it. This is the type of story I can turn to again and again in times of needing a comforting laugh. If you like a contemporary fun story, hurry and grab The Virgin's Revenge for your own.Originally posted at LAS Romance Reviews
