Review: The Con by Justine Elvira

*****4.5 Stars*****
 
 
Aaaawwwww I loved Jagger and Ronnie, I didn't want this book to end, I wasn't ready for it to end!!! The only semi-negative point I can think to give to this book is that I wanted to experience more of their HEA with them because I felt so invested in them as characters.
I'm a sucker for a childhood sweethearts sort of romance and although Ronnie and Jagger aren't your conventional childhood sweethearts, I do think this book should fall in that catagory. I loved how the story was written, over the span of over 10 years, watching them grow and change as characters, and I enjoyed their sporadic but sweet interactions.
This is my first book by Justine Elvira but it won't be my last, I'm really looking forward to discovering more of her work.

Synopsis
 
Jagger had three rules for every con:

1. Don't back out
2. Don't forget the story
3. Don't fuck it up

I broke them all.

I first met Jagger when I was just nine years old. He was an older boy who gave me twenty dollars to buy a new pair of ballet shoes after I dropped mine in the mud. That's when I fell in love with him.

And love would be my downfall.

I would run into Jagger over the years and I'd watch him as he'd hustle strangers out of their money with his latest scam. He lied, he cheated, and he took advantage of anyone he could. Most importantly, he never got caught.

Well, until he needed me to help him pull off his biggest con to date.

I thought I could do it. He told me it was easy to make money through deception, and I believed him because he had a lot of it.

But I should have known that nothing is guaranteed.

My name is Ronnie and now we're on the run.
