I recommend this book if you like: 

·         New Adult 
·         Enemies to lovers 
·         mystery / criminal case 

 

Not only does the romance element of the story intrigue you but also the criminal case regarding Wyatt’s sister. 

I was hooked by this book from about a quarter of the way in. The characters and their past were so interesting and the fact that this story flips between present day and the past (first person) is really interesting. We also read from two points of view (Maryn and Wyatt). As soon as one chapter ended I was intrigued to read on as the story flips between past and present you are left on mini cliff-hangers throughout which definitely helped with my motivation and attributed to how fast I read this book. It is fast paced which also is great, there was never a dull chapter. 

I really grew to like both characters and understand their reasons for why they shouldn’t be together. Despite having all the information, I shipped them anyway! Their chemistry was undeniable! The way Wyatt treated Maryn and the sacrifices he made were admirable. 

I loved that the last chapter gives a snippet into the future (1 year on) so that you aren’t left with any unanswered questions!
