Cigar Club by J.A. Armstrong

3.0

Second in the series. If you enjoyed the first book, definitely read this one.

I've been in a bit of reading funk - picking up a book, reading a chapter and moving on to another one, reading a chapter and moving on again. These books were light enough and well written enough to pull me out of it. I'm not sure if I was in "power read" mode, but I found I blew through this book really fast - I didn't check the page count, but it seemed short.

This book focuses more on the two MCs and their relationship and the author is setting up one of the secondary characters to be front and centre in the next one. There's more angst in this one - not a lot, but more than the first as there's a villian who may want to destroy the MCs' relationship (damned exes) and some of the backstory between characters is filled in.

For some reason, when I've been reading these books, I've been reminded of Jericho. Something about the two MC and their banter perhaps.
