NetGalley Review: Better Off Wed by Susanna Craig

Better Off Wed by Susanna Craig

Publisher: Kensington Books

Release Date: December 28th 2021

Rating:   ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

With the disclaimer that I have not read any others in this series, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel even as a stand-alone.  It has all the classics of road trips, only one bed, fake marriage, secret identities and little espionage to round it out.  The premise of a feminist avenging angel and a slightly stuffy hero getting wrapped up in derring do works really well.  The characters are smart and funny while the romance simmers (and sometimes sizzles) around a little spy versus spy mystery.  My only critiques actually stem from one of the aspects that I liked most about the book.  While Craig drops you right into the action and trusts the reader to connect the dots, there does feel like some backstory is left unexplained.  Granted this may be a result of not having read the previous books in the series (which I definitely plan to do!), but it did impact how neatly the plot wrapped up.
