Pretty good. This is entertaining most of the time. I enjoyed the humor and some of the characters in particular. Probably best for those seeking a light read.

Thanks very much for the review copy!!

This one was okay for me. I struggled a little with the writing. I am not sure if it was just my copy, or what, but sometimes the author fast forwarded in time with no chapter or paragraph break. One minute two characters are chatting, the next line it's the following morning and they've slept together. Overall though, the story was decent.

A fine bunch of bumblers make for a VERY enjoyable read! I don't know how to review this one without an overlong summary or delving into spoilers, so I'll just say that I LOVED IT!
I requested and received a free ebook copy from magnusmade.com via NetGalley.

What do you do when your career has consisted of being an escort and a thief and then you wake up and realise you may be too old for it? This is the conundrum faced by Stef as one failed job makes him rethink his life.

First of all, the majority of this book is set in Italy and this is a big draw for me as it's one of my favourite countries. Also, as a big foodie, the writer's description of the food is both seductive and alluring. Warning- at times this book may make you hungry!

But down to the story itself. I really enjoyed this book, as a suspense neo noir this title ticked all the boxes. The scene setting was perfect and helped immerse you in the world. The main character, Stef was quirky and pretty funny at times. There was even a bit of romance thrown in through the addition of Beatrice, an ex escort turned bar maid he is reunited with years after their brief rendezvous. Beatrice is another great rounded character who is sexy and strong but still has her weaknesses like all of us.

I liked how the timeline jumped to different places and times to give the reader a good back story to the characters. This was carried out through the use of location (Berlin, Paris, Rome etc) rather than using years and time which in my opinion worked really well.

The plot was a great series of twists and turns which kept you guessing to the end. The addition of other characters always ensured the reader was kept on their toes and certainly kept the brain ticking along to try and connect them altogether.

Overall, a great read which was full bodied and brimming with suspense, mystery and a few laughs.

Would highly recommend if you are into your neo-noir or mystery novels.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ - funny, action packed and will keep you on hanging on till the end.

Thanks NetGalley, Magnusmade and Lorenzo Petruzziello for an ARC to review.
The most unusual pair ( charming thief and a hopeless romantic bartender) dashes through Milan along with a lonely tourist and a prospect imposter.
I really loved this book and didn't want it to end, I kept stalling during reading to enjoy it longer! I can see it transformed into a very interesting movie especially with the touristic sites used.
I'll look right away The Love Fool to read and I have a new favorite author.
