For Readers of: Action, Adult, Audio, Catchy Title, Contemporary, Dual Narrators, Dual POV, Enemies to Lovers, Racial/Ethnic Diversity, Realistic Fiction, Romance, Series/CompanionFrom the author of Partners in Crime, comes a sparkling new adventure rom-com where a con woman and a lawman team up on an epic cross-country road trip to save their families…and each other.
Sejal Chaudhary inherited her mama’s calculating brain, her daddy’s quick fingers, and the boatload of trauma that comes with being the eldest daughter of criminals. Although Sejal has never claimed to be a good girl, she’s spent the last couple years laying low and going (mostly) straight. That is, until a con gone wrong sends her into the arms of a handsome stranger who’s set on dragging her back into her messy family drama.
Krish Anand never mastered the fine art of being a bad boy…he would take a book over bullets any day. But when his FBI agent brother goes missing, he has no choice but to suit up for the adventure of a lifetime. Certain that someone in Sejal’s little crime family is behind the disappearance, a desperate Krish manages to convince the beautiful thief that his brother’s badge is actually his.
The deal is simple: help him find his brother, and Krish and the law will leave Sejal be. With an up-to-no-good ex also hot on her trail, Sejal reluctantly agrees. As they wind their way across the country on planes, buses, and automobiles, sparks ignite, and what began as a fragile temporary truce starts to look more and more like a partnership.
Falling for the enemy? So cliche, but so good…if only they can survive long enough to chance a happily ever after.
*MY THOUGHTS*
I really need to start reading the synopsis of stuff because Lordt I had no idea this was a sequel lol I would never have done that if I knew, but I didn’t realize until I was marking it as read on Goodreads. So now I’m on a mission to read the first one too.
Ok so the characters in this one were crazy. Everyone was a criminal and/or part of the mafia. I don’t usually read books like that, so it kind of caught me off guard at first, but I let it slide because it was going ok. But when the secrets started coming out, I kept saying wtf in my notes. They were all weird. When they finally got together, they made for a bad ass couple. They were kicking ass and revealing more secrets and more. It was just an all around good time.
The romance was cute. I liked them more together than I did apart. They were more fun and more playful. Yeah they were also like that when they weren’t together, but they both talked shit and then laughed about it together when it was the two of them. And I wasn’t expecting that spice lol Idk why but it caught me off guard LOL But as I said, I don’t usually read mafia romances, so all of this was a surprise to me.
The plot was what hooked me tho. I couldn’t stop listening. I had to know where they were going next on their road trip. And I had to know what trouble they were getting into next. My notes are filled with wtf lol And when it finally comes out what he really did for a living and why he was so scary and didn’t really react like she did to everything, I think I might have screamed laughed. I loved it.
I don’t want to say too much because it will be a lot of spoilers. Since this is a mafia romance, just know there was someone chasing them, they were chasing someone else, and everyone was lying. And let’s not forget to sprinkle in some gun violence and fighting lol It was a lot. But it was also fun. I hope y’all pick it up just for that alone lol
Overall, I give this
