Goodreads Synopsis:

Love’s revenge can be sweet.

When Leo was a young boy, he had his pride torn to shreds by Tenma, a girl from a wealthy background who was always getting him into trouble. Now, years after his father’s successful clothing business has made him the heir to a fortune, he searches out Tenma to enact a dastardly plan—he’ll get his revenge by making her fall in love with him!

Leo has been trying to get the down-to-earth Tenma to fall in love with him, but she’s remained immune to his advances. In his dreams, Leo meets a younger version of himself who guides him into his past to reveal his true feelings for Tenma. But even with the purest of motives, can Leo ever win her heart?

Review:

Leo has fully realized his feelings for Tenma, just as her family shows up to take her away. While she's mostly been oblivious to the romantic tension up till now, when she's forced away from Leo, she starts to realize her own feelings.
Aside from the romantic tension, though, Tenma gets to take a stand for her own life, decide what she wants to do with herself, and then she gets to try to make her own living. Live by herself, of her own choosing, and the hardships that come with it. Though, really, Leo has more issues with this than Tenma does.
This is a cute series. I like seeing Tenma become aware of herself, and then see her come into her own as she has to live on her own and work for what she wants. That's always a plot line I enjoy.
