Ooh, I liked how twisty this thriller was! I thought it was going one way and then bam! it went a different way and i was not expecting that.

This story started slow and continues to be slow throughout the whole book. On top of the slow pace of the story, Charlotte is a very underwhelming character. She has no personality. The plot is weak and not exciting at all. The ending was a letdown. Overall, I didn't like the book.

Thank you to Harlequin Trade Publishing, Graydon House and NetGalley for letting me read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was fine, I get the plot but the writing was extremely boring and was so extended for no absolute reason!!! 😭

Sam and Charlotte are a married couple who also happen to be con artists. They work on cruise ships where they befriend the wealthy guests and the. con them out of their money. They agree to only target those who can afford it, and they spin tales of woe to convince their targets to donate to fundraising pages. These fundraisers are completely fiction, and their cons fill their own pockets as they plan to lead the lifestyles of their wealthy targets.
We are given dual time lines of past and present Charlotte has left Sam and she is trying to live a con free life and then she starts receiving threats. She soon learns Sam is missing, but she can't help wondering if this is just another one of his scams. Is Sam the one behind the threats or has one of of their fraud victims tracked her down, looking for justice?
