I had to stew in this review for a bit, really think about what I just read. My consensus is I’m pleasantly surprised I liked this.
It took me months to read past page 50 of this book. Literally months. I started in March and finished in July. I just wasn’t connecting with it. But then I realized that outside factors were making it hard for me to actually get into it, and it wasn’t the book itself. Because once I picked it up again, I sat down and read over 100 pages in a sitting.
You’re telling me this book is about con artists? How can you possible make that romantic? Well…Krista and Becca did it. The tension and angst between Rocky and Phoebe was some of the best I’ve read in a while. The longing for something, or in this case someone, you can’t have went deep between them. I physically couldn’t wait until the inevitable happened. Their chemistry is just so chef’s kiss.
Without spoiling, both the plot twist and the ending were great. They made me excited to read the next book in the series. Barnes and Noble, here I come.
Overall rating: 4/5
