FMC: Liza Monroe, ATF agent
MMC: Tucker Mitchell, former DEA Agent
Spice: 🌶️🌶️
Pages: 326
Tropes: Second Chance Romance, Right Person Wrong Time, Fake Marriage, Friends to Lovers, Romantic Suspense
Setting: Hollow Point, Georgia

Thoughts: I really enjoyed this book. The tension built without me really realizing it until I couldn’t put my kindle down. It really focused on the relationship between Liza and Tucker more than the spice. They knew their physical attraction was there so it was refreshing to have a couple who wanted to get their minds right before getting swept up in a purely physical romance. I also liked that it was Liza and not Tucker who needed the extra time and effort to realize what had been in front of her for a decade. I loved the cameos of characters from other series, especially the dinner between Lennox and Liza. 

The undercover/suspense plot was equally well written. Despite how short their actual time undercover was, it was exciting and extremely intense. Not only did it give Liza a chance to wrap her head around how her childhood was holding her back, but it also allowed Tucker to understand all the hesitation she had. Lennox and Lilly really showed up for Liza in the end and I loved the way everything played out. Liza finally got the closure she needed with her parents and was able to find her way to the life she always should have had.
