A Conflict of Interest

When I first read A Break in Communications, I immediately wanted a book following Kelcey and Veronica. I assumed that, if it happened, it would happen next year. I never expected my wish to come true just one month later. And A Conflict of Interest is every bit as good as I hoped for.

Kelcey and Veronica's history and dynamics are just so compelling. Watching Veronica accept the fact that she's absolutely in love is great, and Kelcey's struggles with with trusting her are totally understandable. These two are both so, so damn fun and Seabrooke does an excellent job at voicing each of them. I laughed out loud at multiple points, and I just couldn't get enough of them. More than anything, it was great to see Kelcey and Veronica get fleshed out, with aspects of their characters that once only served comedic purposes getting explored with the depth and humanity they deserved.

The returning supporting cast was absolutely wonderful. I loved Anna and Lucy, so getting more of them was absolutely delightful. Most of the supporting cast is giving more of what they offered in the previous book, but they were a delight there too so I really can't complain.

I was never expecting to get to read this book, much less so soon, but it's everything I could've dreamed of. An absolutely delightful holiday romance, two perfectly unhinged leads, and some of the best yearning I've read all year. Definitely check this one out.

I received an advance copy in exchange for a review, but all opinions and ideas expressed are my own.
