Tyler O’Connor, owner of Tyler’s
Antiques, is pleased to get a call from a woman who wants to
sell some antiques. At her house that evening, he purchases
several items from her and meets her son, Mark Burke. He’s
even more pleased when Mark shows up at his store a few days
later and asks him out.
They go to dinner, and everything seems
perfect, at least until Mark shows up at Tyler’s store a few
days later, dripping wet and upset. He tells Tyler his
mother kicked him out of her house after she found out about
Mark and Tyler’s date. Tyler offers Mark a place to stay,
and Mark agrees. Will this be the end of Tyler and Mark’s
fledgling relationship, or the beginning of something even
better?
The Best Revenge is a sweet tale of two men
who get what they need in an unexpected way. Tyler and Mark
are likeable characters, both hurt by the way others treated
them but both able to move forward and embrace love and
happiness when it’s offered to them. There are a lot of
interesting characters, such as Mark’s family members and
Tyler’s friends. The conflicts are pretty standard, dealing
with Mark’s bigoted brother and family rejection, but they
still kept my interest. Overall, The Best Revenge
was enjoyable but I didn’t love it. The dialogue was
often stilted and unnatural, and at some points everything
just seemed too perfect. |
