Black Ties and White Lies by Kat Singleton
3.0
In theory, I should love this book. It has my favorite romance tropes: boss/employee, marriage of convenience, forbidden romance. Sadly, Black Ties & White Lies underwhelmed me. It feels like this book leans heavily into the tropes and lacks depth.
The first half of the book feels slooooooow. Things start picking up during the inn scene (which is 5 stars alone honestly). My biggest problem is that I could not connect with these characters. They just feel unoriginal and surface-level. I will say that Beck and Margo do develop great chemistry and the spice is pretty good. Honestly, the spice gives this book an extra star!
This is a cute romance with a hero who is VERY into the fmc, which I love. Even though I didn't love this one, I definitely have a few Kat Singleton books on my list that I'd like to read.
