SO MUCH FUN! A rollicking, rooming, page-turner that made we want to keep reading long past my bedtime. The banter was delightful, the pacing nonstop, the romance sizzling, and even the humor landed perfectly. It was slapstick crazy, but also heartwarming and so. much. fun. I never would have picked this up if it weren’t for my chronic library borrowing, but I’m so glad I did!

Finley Donovan meets Dial A for Aunties in a mystery caper rom-com (romp-com?) with an Oceans Eleven heist and an Indiana Jones love interest. Perfect for readers searching for an updated Stephanie Plum. 

I could've done with just a little less thirst and a lot less torture, but in general this was a frothy rollick that delivers what it promises.
