Better Than Revenge Paperback By EJ Blaise

£9.99

Released: 25th August 2026. Your next favourite read is here! Dive into this hilarious, romantic and sexy college romance by bestselling author EJ Blaise! 'Fake dating has never been hotter... or more deliciously messy' Elena Armas ______________________________ Daniela Williams is furious. A nasty break up after being cheated on is a crappy way to start the year. What's worse? Her ex and his new girlfriend are on Daniela's swim team. If she wasn't so against showing she cares about anything, she'd drown him in the pool. This is what she gets for dating teammates. But Daniela never admits defeat in anything - both in and out of the pool. Enter Heath Belfort; a captivating and stupidly handsome local surfer. . . and her ex's biggest swimming rival. Heath smiles through her ex's jabs and beats him in every race. So, what better way to get revenge than to fake date the one person her ex hates most? Heath's up for the challenge . . . on one condition: Daniela agrees to tutor him so he can pass his history class. Private lessons and staged kisses are just fine with her, but can anyone make it out of a fake relationship unscathed? ______________________________ Romance authors can't get enough... 'Heath and Daniela will have you kicking your feet and giggling all the way through. Don't miss this one!' Becka Mack 'A witty and emotionally brilliant romance that hits all the right spots with fake-dating, a toxic ex, and a golden-retriever boyfriend. I couldn't put this one down!' Aamna Qureshi 'E J Blaise is an immensely talented author who knows how to captivate her readers with the perfect mix of hot, witty and emotion' Hannah Grace 'A tension-filled romance full of amazing banter and steamy moments!' E. Salvador ...and readers are obsessed! 'I stayed up until almost 3am finishing this book because I couldn't put it down!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Off Campus meets Deep End' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'I am in love with this book. Like head over heels, feral for it. Absolute perfection' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'This was my first book from EJ Blaise, and honestly, it had everything I look for in a romance. I'm calling it now; this will be my romance book of the summer!' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
