This book starts off really strongly thanks to an intrigue immediately tense and a charming romance between two loveable characters with a true alchemy. I genuinely was convinced this was going to be a 5-stars up until the 10th chapter.
However, as you read you realize that the plotline diminishes in terms of logic and quality to leave the room for the romance that unfortunately looses its salt once the characters kiss and thus stop chasing, challenging, playing with one another. The pace also sometimes slows almost to an halt and makes it hard to get back to the story onces it picks up again.
For this reasons, I did not give a 5-stars although I found this a pleasing and entertaining read.
