What I adore about KJC romances is the B plot could stand on its own. The relationships themselves are so compelling - complex, richly built and cleverly developed - but the jewel heist hiding a
But then, the relationship - Jerry and Alec. What a fun ride from uncertain co-conspirators to those D/S overtones to uggggghhhhhh kicking my heels and blushing over the Yearning™️ and intimacy!! Here is a short list of the things I all-caps’d in my reading notes:
- AND YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN ME. THAT’S WHAT HE WAS GOING TO SAY. FUCK YES!!!
- WHAT THE FUCK (re: the twist)
- HE SAW THE PORTRAITSSSSSS AHHHHH
-JERRY RECOMMENDED HE TAKE THE FALL FOR THE ROBBERY SO JUSTICE COULD BE SERVEDDDDDD THAT BOY IS IN LOVE
It was also fun seeing some familiar faces - the Morton family, the Lazarus family, and the Jack And Knave - that rooted me right back into the world without needing all the backstory.
And as always - Cornell Collins is the GOAT.
