Stone Cold Fox - Rachel Koller Croft

my review : ✮✮✮✮

THE BITE ON THIS ONE.

I was breathless basically the entire time reading this book. The tone and pacing were so addictive, and the endless suspense had me panting. I love a book that’s not black and white where you find yourself rooting for the “bad guy.”

Bea Case spent her early years forced into a lifestyle of conning with her mother. When we meet her, she’s put that dark life behind her and is finally working solo on her final con: marrying into the wealthiest family in America. She’s ready for the safety and security her totally dull husband’s wealth can offer her. While Bea’s perfectly curated personality and looks have Collin eating out of the palm of her hand, she needs to win over Collin’s family and friends to seal the deal. Namely, his best friend, Gale, who is willing to fight dirty to find out who Bea really is…

Sharp, devilish, and smart.

My only beef with the book is the ending. No spoilers here, but I was like, “??”. I get that some readers may have found this ending delightful, but I need a story that PUTS A BOW ON IT. Even with the ending, I had a total ball devouring this story.

Best paired with a vodka martini. I usually prefer gin, but I know Bea would insist on vodka 🍸
