When You're Mine by Blake Pierce (Finn Wright #1)

This book is a fun detective story that is set in Hertfordshire, England. It follows Finn Wright, a suspended FBI agent who goes to England to reconnect with a college friend Rob after a heartbreak. Finn is thrown into a consulting position with the local police force to work on a high-profile case alongside his friend Rob and Detective Amelia Winters. After a connection is made between Rob and the deceased, he has extra motivation to protect his friend from being fired from his position.

Finn is teamed up with Amelia Winters, an absolute bombshell, that immediately has Finn forgetting about his broken heart. Even though there is relationship drama and mistrust on each side, you can tell there is some tension.

The story was fun and enjoyable, but it felt like it was thrown together at times. Especially at the end where the murderer is revealed, and the confession is given. It makes sense and works for the details given in the story up to that point, but it also felt like it was grasping at straws at the same time.

I found this book on a stuff your kindle day and I don't believe I'll be reading the rest of the series.
