Description
'Binge-worthy, vibrant and bursting with life' COURTNEY KAE
Harmony Hale has been putting the art in con-artist for years. Now, she's finally ready to take down the town mayor who ruined her father's life. But Harmony's tried-and-tested con - selling a non-existent music festival - requires her to win over the insufferably stubborn librarian who could lease her the land for the festival site.
Autistic librarian Preston Jones spends his days fighting conservative book challengers and looking after his younger sister Lacey. He has no time for a romance like the ones in his books - and certainly none for the brash festival promoter knocking down his door.
Preston sees things in black and white, and Harmony is nothing but trouble. But when Harmony promises to help save Preston's library programs, he begins to wonder if this hustler with a heart of gold might be the one he's been waiting for.
With Harmony's con coming to a crescendo, she must choose between revenge and running again, or the happily ever after she never saw coming...

"My Kind of Trouble" is a romance written by L. A. Schwartz, here at her debut.
I loved this book! Fast, light and fun, it entertained me so much. The effervescent writing and teasing pace kept me glued to the pages, pushing me to finish it in a few hours. I'm not particularly fond of romance books written in the third person, and "My Kind of Trouble" is written in third person, but I admit that didn't bother me.
The small town of Brookville won me over with its delightful settings and extremely picturesque atmosphere! The accurate and vivid descriptions allowed me to easily imagine the various places and I liked them a lot!
Harmony and Preston, protagonists with their respective third person povs, won me over! Harmony is a skilled con artist, who acts not out of malice but motivated by a kind of sense of justice. Having arrived in Brookville to take revenge on its wealthy mayor, responsible for ruining her father's life, she is ready to create a spectacular new con. Harmony is an ironic, determined, and cunning woman who beneath her deceptions and manipulations hides a good heart and deep scars. I liked her, amused me and found her well delineated! Also I loved her being plus size! My heart, however, goes to Preston, an autistic librarian and piano teacher, totally dedicated to the care of his younger sister and committed to confronting those who want to shut down his library programs and get him fired. I loved Preston and found the representation of autism really well managed! Preston's little sister warmed my heart, but in general I enjoyed many of the secondary characters. The development of the relationship between Harmony and Preston made me laugh, smile and swoon and I can't express anything but kudos!
Thank you to the Publisher and NetGalley for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
