An interesting premise - that DNA analysis could be used to identify your "one true love" and the many ramifications of such a service. The book bounces between the very different stories of several "matched" couples. Light thriller.

Follows two story lines in 2016 and the 1950s in NYC. I enjoyed some of Davis' other historical fiction novels a bit better, but this was a good story.

This was a tough book to read. It kept me intrigued and I hated it but liked it. Kind of like how I felt about Dexter. Definitely a thriller. A lot of really difficult content.

This is another take on the fake-dating romance novel, but with a neuro-diverse and escort twist. Very racy and explicit.
