Dark Romance, Enemies to Lovers Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ Very fast pace in the beginning, then slower in the middle, and fast pace at the end. Overall: would recommend if you’re into sharks and lighthouses!

This is my favorite book of the year so far! It's an enemies to lovers, and the drama doesn't lack. The spice is good but it doesn't over rule the plot. It has a good twist at the end. I thought I knew how it was going to go but I was I'm for a surprise! Absolutely loved this book.
