The Opportunist - Tarryn Fisher


Olivia Kaspen has just discovered that her ex -boyfriend, Caleb Drake, has lost his memory. With an already lousy reputation for taking advantage of situations, Olivia must decide how far she is willing to go to get Caleb back. Wrestling to keep her true identity and their sordid past under wraps, Olivia’s greatest obstacle is Caleb’s wicked, new girlfriend; Leah Smith. It is a race to the finish as these two vipers engage in a vicious tug of war to possess a man who no longer remembers them. But, soon enough Olivia must face the consequences of her lies, and in the process discover that sometimes love falls short of redemption



I just finished this book and am left feeling like I don't know how I feel about this book.

After reading the story summary, I didn't think I was going to like Olivia. The summary doesn't paint her in a very good picture, but after a few chapters I couldn't help it. Even though she did some bad things, I couldn't help but feel for her and want the same things for her that she wanted for herself.

I also found myself wanting to shake her around a bit and I wanted to rough up Caleb a bit. Oh and I hated Leah! Absolutely hated her...hated her like I hate Bekah in Avoiding Commitment.

I do feel that Tarryn Fisher wrote a good book, I was invested...but still I just feel frustrated. I believe there is going to be sequel to this book, and of course I am going to read it and hope for this feeling to get better - but right now - I'm a mess.
