108 | Vengefully Matched with Audery Rouff

Audrey Goldberg Ruoff joins My Perfect Romance to talk about her new book Vengefully Matched, a witchy enemies-to-lovers romance novel built on revenge, forced proximity, prank wars, and emotional growth. The conversation explores why vengeance can be honest, how messy characters can still be lovable, and why communication and consent matter just as much as chemistry. They also discuss the witchy Hallowcross world, memorable side characters, dream casting, and what Audrey hopes readers take away from a romance that starts in chaos and grows into trust.
