This was fun and light hearted despite it being a “suspenseful romance”. There really was only one chapter that focused on the suspense part, so hesitant to even call it that at all. 

Grant was generally unproblematic. Said all the right things. Was the right kind of flirty with a smirk, and a take what he wants kind of guy. 
Laney came into town to keep herself safe. Kind of like WITSEC but not officially. The connection between her handler and the Foxx family was an odd surprise. 
Laney was the classic cool girl, took no shit, but still a girls girl. 

Mostly plot driven and not a ton of character development. It was a good time but overall I will not remember this one
