"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.

This was a darling romance book! I always love a bit of Ocean’s 11-style action and while this didn’t have that, it did have. a sweet talking, sexy con-artist. Harmony is a witty whirlwind while Preston is as straight as a ruler and they compliment each other perfectly.

I love the representation of autism and LGBTQAI+ throughout the book as it’s so casually written and clearly not done just for performance. I also really appreciated how neatly the story slide into place! Everything worked out perfectly in the end, and even though there was miscommunication it didn’t feel frustrating. Often times these books can annoying skirt conversations that really people would have just for the sake of drama but because of the pacing and character development it felt much more believable.

Looking forward to whatever comes next from this author.
