Blackmailer's Delight by David Lawrence
Did not finish book. Stopped at 40%.
Huge thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an e-Arc in exchange for an honest review!
“I cannot make someone who hasn’t a heart understand what it’s like to break one.”
DNF around 50%.
The book is described as being a “hilarious romantic puzzle” and I struggled to see anything in this read as hilarious.
The combination of the blackmail plot and age gap just wasn’t for me. I understand it’s a miscommunication trope but it all felt rather icky and ridiculous.
I really liked the Daniel and Clarence breakup and the vibe Daniel and Luke had once they met but I really can’t get past the instant love aspect and the miscommunication.
Someone else may really enjoy the story but this just wasn’t for me.
