Caught Off Guard by Beth Laycock

3.0

I have mixed feelings about Lane and Tristan's story. On the one hand, I did find the mystery of what happened to Lane's brother captivating, and after I warmed up to it I enjoyed his and Tristan's steamy romance. I thought their quiet nights together were really sweet, and I was invested in finding out if they could make a relationship work when they had to be so careful in public. But I also struggled with the writing style multiple times throughout this story and did not like the ending. It's not that I was expecting things to magically turn out perfectly, but the reveal and abrupt epilogue left me feeling very off-balance and uncomfortable. Any happiness I might have had about Tristan and Lane's relationship was tainted by the way the plotline wrapped up, and ultimately I just wasn't satisfied.

**I voluntarily read an ARC of this book. This review expresses my honest thoughts and opinions.
