I really enjoyed the first 80% of the book. The plot kind of falls to shreds towards the end but the romance was enjoyable and the characters were fun.

This was different to any romance novel that I’ve read up until this point.

And that difference was certainly refreshing!

I did find myself getting distracted while listening to the audio, though, and I got a little lost with the cast and certain plot points. I also didn’t feel super connected to the main characters nor invested in their relationship.

Still, it was a lot of fun!

Highly recommended if you like romance novels that have a different, substantive focus than just the main love story, namely thrillers, mystery stories, or heists!

What a fucking romp!

It’s been a while since I devoured a romance novel this quickly. I just couldn’t put it down! I can see how some might think the mystery/adventure of it all takes away from the romance, but I found it a really fun addition.

Would’ve loved another sex scene, maybe, but otherwise, this was a great read!


Thanks to Libro.fm for sharing the ARC/ALC in exchange for an honest review.
