Spice, suspense, mystery - did I mention spice? Claire is a very relatable, witty character who decides to put out an ad seeking some spice in her life and ends up connecting with Mason. Mason is darker and possessive and I wasnât sure what to think about him at first. Their chemistry is great and and the different storylines that appear kept me interested and wanting more.
While the book doesnât end in a cliffhanger, you are going to want to immediately pick up the next book!

I downloaded this months and months ago after seeing it recommended on a lot book related social media. I had completely forgotten the plot and as to why it first caught my attention, so I essentially went in blind.
Initially, I thought this was a RomCom (which confused me as that is not a genre I enjoy). About halfway through I realised the original reason for the KU download, it’s a mafia romance and I had a period of time last year where I was a little obsessed with them!
As far as plot/romance/smut goes, it’s absolutely fine. Enjoyable enough for me to read whilst I’m sat round the pool on holiday. I definitely liked it enough to download the second.
Mason and Claire are really good MCs. I love a socially awkward, book enthusiast (because I see myself in her!) and Mason is dark, brooding and controlling (which in a book man, yes please!)
I can see that the plot has a lot more to give, I’m looking forward to seeing how it progresses in book 2.

Definitely got better towards the end, but the beginning gave me My Year of rest and relaxation vibes. The "mystery" aspect made it interesting, even though it was predictable.

What a story, Claire throws herself out of her comfort zone and posts an add for a spicy encounter, little does she know what kind of response she will get. I greatly enjoyed the twists and turns of this story, run don’t walk to pick up (or download) this book when it is released March 1, 2022.
