This story follows Eve, who travels to Russia on a girls’ trip. After a night out, she meets Sergei, an older man, and they instantly hit it off. She can see herself with him, but little does she know he’s keeping a secret—one that may reveal unexpected ties between them.

From the start, I loved the audiobook. The narrators were great, but I found myself needing to restart the book after about 20% because I wasn’t retaining much information. To be fair, I had just started a new job, and I sometimes struggle to follow along when accents are performed, requiring more focus to understand what’s happening. That was more of a personal issue than a fault of the book itself.

I think this was a good read, but I’m not sure if I’m feeling a bit burnt out from Eva’s work since I’ve listened to a few of her books recently. That said, I really enjoyed the dynamic between these two. Sergei was the perfect broody, protective Russian—who, deep down, is actually a big softie. The spice was great and felt intimate.

Overall, this was a solid read, but for some reason, it didn’t stand out to me as much as Eva’s other books, even though I usually love her work.
