I have such mixed feelings with this read.
Synopsis:
Island Chaptal—nerdy IT engineer by day, romance novel junkie by night—just walked into her messy New York apartment to find Mr. Right waiting for her. No, wait…Mr. Clean.
A gentleman professional killer with a bad case of OCD and zero tolerance for unsorted laundry, March isn’t there to kill her…yet. He wants the diamond her late mother stole for a sinister criminal organization. Island agrees to help him find it, facing the kind of adversaries who dismember first and ask questions later. Good thing she’s got March to show her the ropes. And the guns. And the knives.
The buttoned-up Island is soon having a blast racing from Paris to Tokyo following the clues in her mother’s will, and for the first time, she’s ready to get close to someone. But falling for a hit man may be the very definition of loving dangerously.…
Spotless marks the beginning of Island and March’s ongoing adventures.
On one hand I really enjoyed the mystery and action, but on the other I was slightly uncomfortable/unmoved by the "romance" portion.
I just couldn't see this as a romance early on, maybe in the later chapters I could see and almost understand it; but in the early chapters when she was thinking and making up scenarios about him and her I could not even begin to believe it. All of the early romantic thoughts just turned me off to them as an eventual couple.
But I will say that I was in love with all of the action-y killing scenes, that was the strong point of the entire story.
I will most likely read the rest of the series, mainly for the mystery aspect, but I genuinely hope that the author sells me on the romance. That cliffhanger has me pretty pumped for the next one in the series.
Final thoughts:
So I think that people who are interested in something different you should definitely check this one out.
