This audiobook was so much fun. I listened to the entire book in two sittings because I couldn’t wait to see what happened next. As someone who did not read the synopsis, and does not watch spy movies, it feels like what I think the Oceans movies and Mr & Mrs Smith are about. It went a long way in getting me out of a slump, and was fun and intriguing the whole time.

This had some really hot scenes but overall did not do it for me. Probably a very good book if you like RHs and Monsters, I’m just too dumb to remember too many names at once. Lots of great smut, some plot,  and an interesting premise, just not for me.

Entertaining for a short road trip. The mysteries kept me guessing until the end. I wasn’t on the edge of my seat, but it was intriguing enough to keep me listening through a slump.

I read this an an audiobook and cannot remember a single thing that happened, or any specific plot points. However I had a great time and the vibes were immaculate. At several points I had to stop the book so I could scream at what was unfolding. Just vibes, no specific reasoning but this was a great time.

OMG OMG OMG. I LOVED THIS BOOK. IT HURT MY FEELINGS CONSTANTLY. 
It was sweet, funny, and I've never related to a main character like I do to Iris. Also the smut was top tier gold. Will definitely be re-reading this.
