The first half is slow and predictable, cliched. The second half is worth waiting for and reading through. I mean, it's a romance novel, so you can tell where things are going, but the second half is more believable and engaging and fresh.

The premise of this book was fun and the main characters had a lot of chemistry. I enjoyed the romance.

However, the pacing was way off for me. there were multiple points in the book where we spent a TON of time on the build-up of a potential problem, only to have the full situation revealed and handled very quickly.

I read the novella Once Ghosted, Twice Shy (#1.5 in this series) last year and it was nice to go back and see the characters who had been mentioned in that novella. I’d still highly recommend that novella. Not sure if I’ll continue further on in this series.
