When Stella Stark discovers that her boyfriend is cheating, she also discovers that thirty-nine isn’t too old for petty revenge. Can we say…glitter bomb? She’s lost both her job and her home—why not broaden her professional horizons as Little Miss Petty, helping wronged women achieve karmic justice? Frankly, the demand is too great to ignore.
New friends rally around her: Havisham, a bar owner with a soft spot under her gruff exterior, and Salcedo, a college student with marketing savvy. There’s just one hiccup: Getting revenge on the cheating soon-to-be ex-husband of her best-paying client is supposed to be easy. After all, he’s her neighbor. But something isn’t adding up. Malone is not only intriguingly handsome. He’s also a good listener, sympathetic, and adores kittens. He may look like the ex, but he isn’t acting like him. And how can Stella, a woman on the rebound, be even remotely tempted by the pizza-with-benefits relationship he suggests? That would be so bad for business.
There’s so much for Stella to learn—about karma, the charmer across the breezeway she’s falling for, and most importantly, herself. Love, revenge, and second chances—they all come with a little risk. And a twist.
About The Author
My Review
This book is about Stella Stark, a process server whose life implodes the moment she returns home expecting a celebration—only to discover her professional and romantic partner has replaced her with someone younger. Heartbroken and furious, Stella leans on a group of fiercely supportive new friends who encourage her to turn her frustration into something productive.
That inspiration leads to the creation of Little Miss Petty, a clever side business where Stella designs entirely legal schemes to deliver well-deserved karma to people who have wronged others. Armed with determination, a sharp mind, and a hastily built website, Stella begins helping clients get satisfying—but lawful—revenge.
One case, however, becomes more complicated than expected when the target turns out to be her intriguing neighbor. As Stella spends more time observing the man she’s supposed to expose, she realizes he may not be the villain her client claims. The growing attraction between them only makes things more complicated.
Sally Kilpatrick blends romantic comedy and light mystery with charm and wit. Stella’s bold personality, investigative instincts, and emotional growth make her an engaging heroine, while the lively supporting cast adds humor and heart to a thoroughly entertaining story.
