I love these characters and their relationships, and the story is so well thought out. I really liked the complex views of war and post-war life, and how everyone deals with those things differently. Social commentary in a queer espionage trench coat 🙌🏻

I would have loved if the romance was slower to develop, but that's just because I'm a sucker for slow burns.

When he inherits his uncle's book shop, Will Darling gets much more than he'd bargained for. Now shady characters are demanding he hand over "their" property - the war office is hounding him about it as well, incidentally. And who exactly is the dashing and mysterious Kim Secretan that is ever so eager to help him figure it all out? 👀
Ummm... is it hot in here or is it this book!? HOLY COW, y'all! This book is steamy. Some of the best sex I've read in awhile. I mean, HOT DAMN! Look, I'm going to be real: the mystery is only okay. The best part of this book is the characters and their relationships. Will and Kim are both infuriating little gems and if we don't get more of Phoebe and Maisie in book two I'm going to throw a tantrum. I am a sucker for a cozy mystery and they so rarely have good rep of any sort. Well done, K.J. Charles. Well done.
✨ Rep in this book: Gay protagonist, queer characters
✨ Content warnings for this book: homophobia, harassment, assault, government conspiracy, kidnapping, violence, guns, discussions of war, graphic sex
