This is a fun little series with reluctant partners and crime solving.

These characters were cute and their interactions were so funny. (I am seconding what I said in my review of the first book in this series, this would make such a good movie or tv show.)

The mystery/crime/drama/whatever you want to call it in this book was better than in the first one (at least for me). I liked how it continued the banter and some storylines, especially with relationships with other characters. I think that added another layer to these characters, more depth.

If you're looking for a fast and easy read that's fun and entertaining, try this series. You'll speed through them!

Thanks to NetGalley for the e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review! My Goodreads review is up and my TikTok (Zoe_Lipman) review will be up at the end of the month with my monthly reading wrap-up.

This was a fun, quick read. Mackenzie and Jackson are a fun duo of detectives on a life threatening case that made for a fun twisty read. 3/5 stars. Thank you to Net Galley and Simon & Shuster for the ARC.

Read the first book and the characters are incredibly likeable. Another quick and easy read with a plot that keeps your attention! The book is like candy and the perfect beach year!

I had a dizzy spell from the prior book and due to the lack of information about this read given in the blurb, I need to set this one down in an effort to avoid another dizzy spell. I will likely check this out at my local library in a few years and try to read these again, but right now, these books are not for me. There was a heavy theme of family trauma in book one that I could not personally do. Please know I am likely a more sensitive reader, and you will probably not have this issue. In case you are also a sensitive reader, please be aware.

Thank you for allowing me to sample this eARC! I appreciate the opportunity to provide honest feedback voluntarily.

This was a great second entry into the series! I loved seeing Jackson and Mackenzie’s relationship evolve as they became true partners. I also really liked the humour in this one - I died every time one of them brought up the office furniture haha! The pace was great and the slight cliffhanger at the end left me wanting more!

I really enjoyed this 2nd installment of Jackson and Mackenzie. We meet them again after forming their business. They take on a case reluctantly since it is working for mobsters. The storyline is a balance of serious, fun and so much sexual tension. Will they or won’t they? Their banter is so much fun and I love how they work together. Do they solve the case? Read this book and find out. More importantly, I look forward to their next adventure. And to see if they ever get together.
