Tyler Anne Snell chases romance like a cat after their favorite ball of yarn. When she isn't writing and reading her favorite tropes, she's watching them unfold on TV when she should be sleeping instead. With over thirty romantic suspense novels published, she's now adding a few new balls of yarn to her play routine. She also spends an unhealthy amount of time lovingly making romance drama edits for her TikTok followers (@professorsnell).
Tyler lives in South Alabama and runs on coffee, spite, and a non-existent bedtime.
This book was a perfect read as a fairly quick and easy read as the weather is warming up. I’m always a fan of Tyler Anne Snell’s writing, but I really enjoyed the found family aspect of this story. The mystery kept me guessing and the romance was spot on. My only critique would be that the story seemed to wrap up abruptly but knowing that this is the first book in a new series is a solid consolation. I can’t wait for the next book to come out.
This book had me hooked from the beginning. The mystery was compelling, the pacing was good and Liam and Blake were interesting characters. I also enjoyed the well developed side characters like Theo, Price and Lola. Plus it hits a favorite trope of mine which is the “made” family. Highly recommend.
