Summary / Synopsis
Dove Carroway has two lives…
By day, she’s the bubbly, pink-clad media journalist who writes sensational stories about a vigilante serial killer. By night, she becomes the Baby Doll Killer, an avenger with a flair for punishing the worst of humanity—men who prey on children. But her most formidable challenge isn’t a criminal; it’s her insufferably charming work rival.
Wrenley Campbell is the perfect gentleman to everyone but Dove, the one person who grates on his nerves with her sunshine act. But Wrenley’s secrets are darker than the articles they write, and when Dove unburies the truths he’s hiding, she finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected.
When their battle of wits escalates into something that hits too close to home, Dove steps into his world as her deadly alter ego, intending to terrify him into backing off. As Wrenley pieces together who she really is, their rivalry turns into a fiery connection that neither can deny.
Secrets this dark have a way of coming to light, and soon, they will have to decide whether their love is strong enough to survive the shadows or shatter under the weight of their haunted pasts.

My Takes
The FMC almost had me DNF this book. I had to take breaks from her. Honestly, her over the top Pink girl persona was too much for this tomboy. I was hoping for a Butcher and Blackbird vibe and it's not that. But maybe if it had half the budget. It just wasn't a win for me. You may love it. If you like books where the female is the killer, feminine rage, morally gray FMC, Shes the masked one, Touch him and die, workplace, Enemys to Lovers, Pink Over the top Pink..
On the upside.. she does murder petos.. so there is that..
Oh, the book did set me up though to want to read book 2. Her best friend.. that one should be good.
