She's a Spitfire by Chloe Liese

ida's review

2.5

In my quest to read my tbr as it was on 1st January 2022, I've reached the second book in the Tough Love series. I read the first one back in 2020, and to Liese's credit, it didn't take me long to get reacquainted with Zed and Nairne. I think it's rare that the same.romance pairing gets more than one book (and there are three in this series!). It stretches out the narrative, and leaves space to get to know the characters and the world they inhabit. 

This book went on a journey, starting out in the Mafia world which Zed is trying to leave, and ending somewhere else entirely. It all made sense as I read it, but for such a relatively short book, it felt like it packed a punch. 

There's lot to like in this book, and it's definitely recommended for readers enjoying the romance genre, but I do prefer Liese's Bergman Brothers-series to this one.

I don’t really want to sit through the rest of this book to see the Nella take down…

It is I the Chloe Liese stan.
Although the Bergman books do in fact work better for me I also really liked this installment in Chloe's OG series. :)

I loved this! So much. There were some lovely Easter eggs that were easy to find because obviously, but it was satisfying nonetheless.

Nairne and Zed 2 people willing to do anything for the ones they love. Nairne is impossibly strong willed and determined. She lets nothing stand in the way of what she wants to do. She is an amazingly strong character and Zed while protective and, in his own words, controlling he is still remarkably supportive of her.
With Zeds world and Nairnes past catching up with them they don't have it easy.

So I thought "She's a Spitfire" was an awesome second book for the Tough Love Series. While the book overall felt similar in narrative to "He's a Brute," the stakes consistently felt so much higher in Spitfire. I loved how chock full of action and suspense the book was while also still managing to be full of steamy romance. Spitfire was a definite page turner for me. The additional action paired with Liese continuing to tackle the big issues with her writing (and the fact that so much of the story happened in London - my favorite city in the world), made me like Spitfire more than Brute. I look forward to seeing how Nairne and Zed's story concludes in "They're a Match."

P.S. While Teo was my standout secondary character for Brute, Lucas completely stole the show for me in Spitfire. I can't wait to read Lucas' story "They're Strictly Friends" after I finish "They're a Match."

As I stated in my review of the first book in this series, it took me a long time to finally read this book.

It is not a standalone book and continues on where it left off in book one.
Zed is in Boston trying to get the mafia thing sorted out, while Nairne is about to go back to London. Zed’s character was still demanding and pushy and Nairne got stung by the “I’ll fix it all” bug.

I received this ebook copy from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed He’s a Brute book 1 in this series and Book 2 She’s a Spit Fire did not disappoint! This second book has a lot more suspense and action then book 1 which made it even harder to put down!i did however feel like book 1 was a bit steamer then this one! (Not to say this one wasn’t steamy because it definitely was)
Zed is making his escape from the Mafia so he can move to England to be with Nairne but even if he escapes the mafia Nairne has a dark secret from her past that will put them right back in harms way! A fun, but suspenseful romance I’d highly recommend! I can’t wait to see what happens in the final instalment available in August!

Thanks to the author Chloe Liese for this ebook in exchange for my honest review
