"Perhaps you will yet observe the result of such dark karma. Then I am persuaded that you shall pity him, too. In life I would much prefer to be sinned upon than the sinner. It is easier, vous comprenez? With the clear conscience one sleeps very well. The sinner may deny it... but in his heart he knows. He does not deserve to be happy."Ah, the beauty of karma. This is the second book I have read from this author & let me tell ya, this woman can delivery some steam!! 'Karma' shows us how one little decision can change the course of your life in the blink of an eye.Marcy is a single mother to seven year old Katie, working at a casino in Vegas, struggling to make ends meet. Her ex-husband, who SHE put through college by working her tail off, was kind enough to leave her after he finally started making his own money, trading her in for a twenty-something trophy wife.'Why did women always think everything was their fault when a man screwed up? Was it genetic? Cultural? Marcy had sailed on that guilt ridden boat of desperation for far too long already. Now she was done with men. They were way too much trouble.'I have to say, being in her ex's head was NOT a pleasant experience. Self-centered, disgusting pig-Trent brings all new meaning to douche-canoe. Just gross, but he gets his in the end, thankfully."Can you not see it? Do you imagine how he will suffer for such wickedness? For these are not small, unintended offenses. He causes great harm through selfishness and greed."One little decision puts Marcy in the path of the infamous André Chevalier (so glad I finally got to meet him after getting glimpses of him in 'What Wendy Wants'). I'm completely smitten and drooling all over this guy!'Marcy never met anyone like him. It astonished her, the way that he seemed able to converse about anything without a shred of embarrassment.'Through André she meets Mike and this is where the fun & drama begins. They instantly hit it off, but Marcy's track record with men is less than stellar so she tends to be a little gun shy.'Why did she feel so comfortable with Mike? She needed to protect herself better, because with her track record she couldn't trust him.'If I had any complaints, it's the presence of insta-love (which generally drives me insane). However, the author isn't too in your face about it so it wasn't too bad. In the end, it was still a hott, funny, and emotional read at a phenomenal price with an awesome twist at the last minute. I will definitely be checking out more from this author."What goes around comes around. I never believed in fate, and that expression 'everything happens for a reason' has always left me cold, but really! Maybe everything really does happen for a reason. There truly is karma. There's no escape. You might as well try to live right. But who would have thought?"
