Caught Up
by Navessa Allen
This was… a book. One of my most anticipated releases of the year, and sadly, one of my biggest disappointments.
Plot? Nonexistent. It felt like a few smut scenes loosely strung together. I absolutely loved the first book - the banter, the sarcasm, the shocking twists, and of course, the romance. But this time around? I felt nothing.
At first, I thought, “Okay, so it’s not going to be snarky - maybe it’s leaning into a spicy mafia romance vibe instead.” But nope. I can’t even call it that, because there was no plot.
That said, if you read solely for the vibes and the smut, you’ll probably love this book. But if you’re here for depth, tension, or anything beyond surface-level spice, it might fall flat.
