Katherine A. Olsen's Close Enough to Hurt was captivating, fast-paced, and engaging. The undercurrent of the high stakes and the chemistry between Dylan and Daniel kept me hooked throughout the book. The element of Dylan's unconventional business and her thirst for revenge was explored exceptionally well. I appreciate how the book delves into trauma's lasting impacts and the many ways people cope with it. Dylan and Daniel's slow-burn romance mesmerised me, but their partnership was also an absolute treat to read. I was rooting for them from the beginning, and the ending was well-deserved and heartwarming. Look no further if you're looking for a dark revenge read with a dash of romance and suspense.
