Caper Crush by Kathy Strobos
4.0
The book follows Miranda and William. Miranda is an aspiring artist and a lead singer in a local rock band. William is an accountant that owns his own business. Their uncles are married to one another, so they’ve known each other for a long time without really getting to know one another. Until tragedy strikes… Miranda’s main piece of art is stolen from their uncle’s apartment, along with a famous painting they were hoping to sell to purchase their dream little cottage. Miranda and William team up to investigate the losses and end up spending a lot of time together.
This book was a genuine, feel good, and sweet romance with no spice. A rom-com with a sense of mystery - because who the heck stole the paintings? This book has an insanely slow burn between our two “main” characters. The team work they use kinda gives the forced proximity trope vibes, since they’re spending so much time together to accomplish a common goal until it eventually leads to something more. Another trope that we see? Opposites attract.The book is written in first person through Miranda’s point of view, and it’s written really well. She’s an emotional person, and you can feel her emotions flooding off of the pages. Kathy Strobos did an amazing job to really grasp the characters, give the conflict that was needed to push this story forward and keep it moving.
