iamsalonip's Book Journey

This was the book I didn't know I needed, but I absolutely did. I loved it! The writing is wonderfully witty and a mixture of mystery, romance, and humor. The one that stood out the most to me was humor! It had me laughing out loud all the time with the antics the MCs get into. One would imagine translating physical comedy to writing might be a challenge, but Walters nailed it. She ate with her hilarious way with words, and I'm instantly a fan.

There is something magical about having a romantic suspense with MCs that have loved and trusted each other, and they're at this beautiful level of comfort with each other where they are 'friends' above all else and can bicker like nobody's business. I'm super fond of second chance romance, and the story didn't disappoint on that front either. Yes, everything made sense, and I wasn't left hanging and annoyed. Their backstory shown through both MCs individual perspectives and seeing their past feelings colliding with present ones in real time is a treat. I loved that it is all low spice, because the dramatic mystery plot has it all.

Despite this toss of many genres, at no point did I feel the characters were not crafted well enough or too one dimensional. You can easily see the thought and care and love that the author has put into crafting Cybil and Ben both. They work so well as a duo and it doesn't hurt that they are very entertaining. I can comfortably rave about this book for a long time, so I think it's no surprise that I'm reading anything else by the author I can get my hands on. I do hope there is more in this universe of romantic suspense that she's cooking fingers crossed.

And of course the narrators did a fabulous job. I just know they added so much chaos and liveliness to the already great manuscript by voicing Ben and Cybil. I loved their accents and their work on this project, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for anything Andrew Eiden and Dominique Salvacion have given their voices to. I highly recommend getting the audio version of this book if you can, because I promise it's such a treat!
