Cross My Heart by Roxy Sloane
3.75
3.75 out of 5
For quite a while I had seen promos of it on TikTok and since I needed something quick and to the point (pun intended hehe) I decided to give it a shot. I was taken aback by the fleshed out characters and their motivations. It wasn’t just some PWP as it was advertised so that was a nice surprise.
The sex scenes were okay. Didn’t find any particular sexy because the dirty talk from the male love interest just took me out of it sometimes. Just unfortunate lol. But they were well-written and well-placed in the story. There was one sex scene in particular that had a red flag that I wondered if it would be addressed and immediately after it did by the protagonist. I also enjoyed that the couple acted like adults willing to talk through their issues and concerns.
The mystery aspect was truly what elevated the book for me. It kept me wanting to keep reading to figure out what exactly happened. It remained vague enough to allow the rest of the books to unravel it. One thing I will say, however, was that the plot twist at the end, I saw it coming from the very beginning. It was enjoyable getting proved right, but I’m also highly interested in how it’ll be resolved later down the road.
