Thank you to Avon and Harper Voyager, and Netgalley for an ARC of this book which I voluntarily read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Immediately after getting dumped by her twelfth match, Mira is more worried about getting fired by her matchmaker than anything else. Yet, her day goes from bad to worse (and later, even more so) when she learns that her ex-boyfriend, her first match, and the man she really liked but dumped anyway, Naveen, is the lawyer handling her recently deceased aunt’s will. However, when she and Naveen are kidnapped by a shady figure searching for a very specific necklace that Mira’s father allegedly stole, they have to join forces in order to survive.
PARTNERS IN CRIME was not at all what I was expecting from a book categorized as a romance. The first half or so very much reads like a thriller with dashes of sexual tension. Mira and Naveen are focused on finding the jewelry Cobra is looking for while trying to stay alive and keeping their family members from getting killed. Which, yeah, understandable. So, it does take a while for the romance to get into gear, but I enjoyed it when that point was finally reached. And though I had a few inklings about who exactly Cobra was, I was pleasantly surprised by how completely wrong I was about the reveal. PARTNERS IN CRIME is not that predictable thriller where the reader has the entire plot figured out halfway through the book, but filled with action, con artists, and twists and turns.
