Thank you to NetGalley, NYLA Publishing, and Suzanne Enoch for providing this advance reader copy (ARC) of this book. My honest review is below.
No wonder I was confused, while this may be book 2 in this new series of Sam & Rick the characters of Sam & Rick have 5 previous books in another series called Sam Jellicoe. It covers how they met and I'm sure more details on the backstories. A Kiss in the Dark is a standalone that would read easier if the reader was familiar with the past books. It worked out ok for me, but more understanding would have been nice.
Sam & Rick are an intense couple. He's a titled British billionaire use to getting his own way and Sam is a cat burglar who's been on her own since a teenager. They clash, butt heads, grudgingly compromise, and have a lot of hot sex. The story of Sam's security firm working for a Sotheby's sale works very well and the story flows around it. I was able to figure out the existing characters and the new ones were no problem at all. I'm not going to include spoilers but one tidbit I loved is when a character gets to tase a big dumb guy. I live vicariously. I found it to be an enjoyable read.
