Callie loves her life. She worked hard for her dream career, bought the perfect little cottage on the marsh and met the sweet, hot FBI agent who warms her bed and has wrapped himself around her heart.

Now the past is texting. The man who drifted in and out of her life for years, leaving more scars on her soul each time. Stronger now, she sees the opportunity to close the book on her ex and move forward.

Sometimes, the plan doesn’t work out. Instead, she finds herself in the middle of revenge murders and drug cartels.

As her idyllic life spins out of control and everything she believed about her relationships falls from beneath her feet, the goal becomes stay alive first, untangle the secrets later.

Old flames with secrets, a new flame with secrets—and the FMC herself carrying plenty of secrets too. The story slowly unravels layers of love, betrayal, and found family as the past and present collide.

It was an engaging listen, though at times it felt like parts of the story were missing, and the ending landed a little flatter than expected. I’m hoping book two fills in some of those gaps and builds on what started here.

Overall: 3.5/5 ⭐

This was my first romantic suspense and I enjoyed it! As a mostly romantasy reader, it was a surprisingly smooth transition - she even says “gods” rather than “god,” and there are lots of nicknames 😅 I wouldn’t have minded a darker ending, but that’s just personal preference. The narrator was great! My one writing critique is that we sometimes slipped into past tense in a way I don’t believe was intentional. My one audio critique is that I wished the section breaks had longer pauses. Sometimes I didn’t hear a pause at all and it took me a moment to realize we were into a new scene. Still, this was a fun and fast read!

Romance-forward and twisty-turny
