Critics Review

I absolutely loved this second chance, enemies-to-lovers love story. Academic rivals Evie and Nic’s hunt for medieval treasure through the spellbinding city of Oxford had me hooked from the first page, and Vendrell crafts their romance with wit, intelligence and empathy. Sizzling, warm-hearted and nuanced, it’s the perfect romantic read – Sophie LoxtonThe romance reader in me swooned over the sizzling rivalry, while the nerd in me geeked out over the layered depiction of history and academia. Smart, sexy and propulsive, Ex Marks the Spot is a treasure of its own – Hannah BrohmPacked full of hijinks, history and the kind of simmering tension that grabs your heart and refuses to let go, Ex Marks The Spot is a gorgeous and witty second-chance romance. I loved it! – Catherine Walsh
