I started this series because I was excited for a book later in the series. I’m really hoping that the author is able to find their footing before I get there because this was hard to get through.

Overall, this book is cute. It’s a fun premise and the characters are unique. Where I struggled was with the pacing and number of grammatical errors. As an avid KU reader, I understand that books will have errors. It’s bound to happen, even in those that get traditionally published. That being said, this book had sooooo many errors. Both the omittance as well as using the wrong word in some cases. The pacing was jerky. Like it’s all steam ahead and then stops. Then a couple weeks go by and then we’ve arrived at pound town. I get that MMC was jumping to conclusions because of his past relationship but it was 1 to 100 real quick. The grandmother was also a weird insertion. It felt more like a fairy godmother who could solve problems with a wink and a houseplant. It was just hard when I felt like we should be around the 80% point and it’s closer to 95%. 

Idk. Overall, the world of the Denver Bandits is interesting and engaging. I will continue to book two as the author did a good job setting up the series. Here’s hoping for a better book 2!
