Lady Eve's Last Con
Lady Eve's Last Con | Rebecca Fraimow
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Ruth Johnson and her sister Jules have been small-time hustlers on the interstellar cruise lines for years. But then Jules fell in love with one of their targets, Esteban Mendez-Yuki, sole heir to the family insurance fortune. Esteban seemed to love her too, until she told him who she really was, at which point he fled without a word. Now Ruth is set on revenge: disguised as provincial debutante Evelyn Ojukwu and set for the swanky satellite New Monte, shes going to make Esteban fall in love with her, then break his heart and take half his fortune. At least, that's the plan. But Ruth hadn't accounted for his older sister, Sol, a brilliant mind in a dashing suit... and much harder to fool. Sol is hot on Ruth's tail, and as the two women learn each others tricks, Ruth must decide between going after the money and going after her heart.

This book was not doing anything for me. An inter-galactic con woman, a jilted sister, the mark being the jilter, and the guy‘s sister who is also a love interest. Sounded promising, but wasn‘t to be.

I really enjoyed the blending of sci-fi with 1920s aesthetics and society. The first half definitely felt like an opulent space opera.

The book began to lose me when the con artist confessed her scheme with very little prompting. The mark's sister suspects her of lying, there is some plot stuff and then she fully explains her plan to marry her brother for money because he wronged her sister.

The plan doesn't make a whole lot of sense and it makes even less sense to tell that to your mark‘s sister, especially when she loves her brother.

The romance was flat with both siblings. I don't know how she was going to get Esteban to marry her, they had zero chemistry, and she was trying to con him. Be a better gold digger.

PuddleJumper The book suffers from having too much going on. The characters are never given any depth, their relationships are shallow and a lot of it has to do with the amount of stuff going on.

This is more space opera than con/heist or romance. If you want sapphic space opera then give it a go.

Thanks to #Netgalley for the #ARC 5mo
