WOW!! I don’t know what I was expecting, but this far exceeded any possible expectations. Serial Killers go on a tropical retreat where they can act out their vigilante fantasies for sport. Sounds gruesome, right? So how does Lauren turn this into a romantic comedy????

It’s definitely dark, but not for Lauren’s writing style (IYKYK). So much witty banter, so much sexual tension, so much situational humor. I was laughing to the point of tears!! And the spice?? Chef’s kiss. Warning, I don’t think anyone that reads this will ever look at pineapple, piña coladas or mayonnaise the same way ever again. 

I immersion read this with the paperback copy while listening to the audiobook. 1,000% recommend listening to the audiobook version. The full cast narration was so good and truly brought the characters to life. I could NOT put this book down!!!
