Rule #2 of Revenge Club: Don’t fall for your target’s brother.
LEO
I'm Leo Brennan. Tech consultant. Negotiator of billion-dollar deals. Master of the corporate death stare.
And
I’m currently wearing a sparkly pink unicorn onesie with a light-up
horn while screaming “I believe in magic!” at a roomful of sugar-crazed
six-year-olds.
How did I get here? I tried to get revenge on my
nemesis with a syrup-related “accident” at a restaurant. Except, I hit
his lookalike brother instead. On his birthday. And broke his ankle.
Now
I'm making amends by playing nursemaid to him and helping him out with
his jobs, which includes dog walking and becoming Sparkle McHornface,
the sidekick to a children's entertainer called Captain Giggles.
The worst part? I'm starting to actually like the guy. And he has no idea the real reason why he’s on crutches.
ARCHIE
Oh, I definitely know.
The
handsome stranger who “accidentally” baptized me in maple syrup thinks
he's so subtle. But I've figured out his connection to my estranged
brother, and I also know something else.
Guilt is a powerful motivator.
And
watching this grumpy tech millionaire wrestle with drooling dogs and
declare himself a “pretty, pretty unicorn” to a room full of
six-year-olds? That's entertainment I can't pass up.
But
somewhere between his disastrous balloon animals and surprisingly tender
moments, something else is going on. I'm falling for the real Leo
behind the corporate armor.
Which is dangerous because I’m currently hiding my own secrets.
And the last thing I need is someone unraveling them.
The
Revenge Mishap is what happens when revenge goes sideways, grumpy meets
sunshine, and two men discover that sometimes the messiest mistakes
lead to the sweetest love.

Oh man, it is good to get back into revenge world. You don't need to have read the first book, but why wouldn't you?
Jax has given us another wonderful rom com. She had me laughing so hard, and then breaking my heart, all in the one book. She is, however, also good at putting everything back together for me, so phew!
I adore Leo and Archie. I love their "mishap" and everything that follows. I was laughing out loud at times, things were just so ridiculous they were funny.
It took me a long time to come around to even wanting some characters on the page, but they did redeem themselves by the end.
It was great getting more of Andrew and Justin of the first book, The Revenge Game and seeing where their lives were at.
I also loved that the "mishap" thing did not turn into a big miscommunication that ruined what they had. It is one of my bug bears when reading, when a stupid miscommunication leads to big chaos
We also had good set up for the next Revenge book.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Revenge Mishap, and cannot wait for the next book
Bestselling author of MM Romance.
My stories are all about light-hearted conversations and deeply-felt connections. I love exploring exactly why two characters are the only ones who’ll make the other truly happy, and the journey they take to reach their happily-ever-after.
I live in New Zealand with my family and a wide assortment of animals. I’m a rabid sports fan, a hiking enthusiast and have a slightly unhealthy addiction to nature documentaries. I have also been known to read the odd book on occasion.
