If you like romantic suspense / heist capers, you should definitely give this book a try. It’s fun, and I LOVED that both MCs were over 40, but in the end it wasn’t quite for me. I think I am just not very into heist stories in book form. But more problematic for me was that the MCs didn’t really do enough growing together to convince me that the HEA was going to stick. I like Charish Reid as an author though and will certainly read her next non-heist romance!
