Vivian Barrera is the
co-owner of an investigative agency which she started to solve the mystery of
her brother who went missing over a decade back. April Hawkins is the newest
employee in the agency. Vivian doesn’t like April because her partner
contravened all their hiring rules to appoint April and makes no bones about
flirting with the new investigator.
This book was probably meant
to have the ice queen trope and the author does try to make Vivian into an ice
queen but Vivian didn’t stay in that plan. She comes across as a nice person
who is completely honest, open and genuine. Which, of course, makes her very
likeable. April and the other secondary characters are neither here nor there.
The relationship between the
two MCs starts way, way too abruptly with barely any build-up or interaction
between them, but then follows an okay pace. It is an angst-free romance (which
is a good thing) though April’s uncalled-for behaviour could’ve led to bigger
issues – except that Vivian is just really mature and nice.
While this is not something
we’d recommend, it is not awful either.
