Why read it?

1 author picked A Game of Hearts and Heists as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A book that really puts the enemies in enemies-to-lovers. The only thing Scarlett and Quin want more than to kill each other is to bed each other, and they’re not sure it actually takes priority.

This results in some of the funniest romance and fight scenes I’ve read and a relationship that’s hard not to root for. My girlfriend recommended this book to me, and we loved sharing its absurd romance.

From Genevieve's list on sapphic speculative fiction.
