Loved the chemistry and plot in this book. Good book that will want you to keep reading till the end. Recommend.

This book was so much fun!

Max getting thrown into the role of a prime minister, dodging assassins, and dealing with her old flame Flynn made for the perfect mix of chaos and romance.

I loved the whole “pretending to be someone else” thing—it kept things exciting the whole way through.

The second-chance romance with Flynn was executed so well, and I liked that there was way more going on than just a cute love story.

The mix of danger, suspense, and swoony moments kept me hooked.

Definitely recommend this one!

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley for this free ARC.

Not as good as Carlie Walker’s debut novel but I still enjoyed it. I felt it lacked the sparkle and humor of The Takedown which I highly recommend. Could it be sophomore slump or this book's intention was more serious? But I still look forward to Walker’s next book as she definitely has romance writing skills.

Thank you NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC exchange for an honest review.

This was so so so good! I loved the romance between Max and Flynn but the case that they were working on together was so interesting and enjoyable as well!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

I devoured this book. But, what truly captivated me was the dynamic between Max and Flynn. Their history adds layers to their chemistry, blending nostalgia with tension that kept my heart racing. The writing effortlessly balances laugh-out-loud moments with the emotional weight of Max’s journey, exploring themes of identity and love amidst chaos. This book is a delightful escape that reminded me of the joys of romance, adventure, and the courage it takes to embrace both. I was left craving not just the next page, but the next summer of my own.
