Review
Unfortunately, I was underwhelmed by this. I thought this was super boring and it didn’t seem to me like the main characters had much chemistry. Also, the male narrator’s British accent was not good and didn’t match the character well. Viktor seemed like an 80 year old man, and it was like a cold shower every time he spoke. Not attractive at all!!
❝ I cannot help but imagine that anything originating in your mind would be a sight to behold.❞

A reluctant con artist and professor with too many secrets are bound together in Ali Hazelwood’s intoxicating new dark academia romance – available only in audio!
Veronica “Vero” Mercer grew up with grifters for parents, and she knows her way around a con. When grad school bills pile up and her friends are in trouble, she turns her art history skills into a forgery side hustle.
It’s supposed to be a short term deal, but her work draws the attention of Dr. Viktor Ashworth, a reserved, very British professor. Instead of turning her in, Ashworth kidnaps her – politely – and makes an unusual offer: forge a mysterious ancient manuscript for him.
Soon Vero finds herself spending long nights with Viktor, bent over rare vellum samples and obscure inks. But as the con grows riskier, Vero has to wonder: what does Viktor really want, and why can’t she stay away?
