Pretty Little Accomplice
He helped her hide a body. Now she's in his debt.
Kira:
I’ve spent my whole life raising my younger sister, keeping her fed and housed and alive.
But now she’s done the unthinkable, and what I have to do goes beyond keeping a roof over our heads.
But I’m determined to protect her, and I’ll carry her crimes as my own if it means keeping her out of prison.
That’s why, when I find myself in the woods with a body to hide, I’m prepared to do whatever it takes, just like I always have.
But what I don’t expect is for my heart to give out and for the drop dead gorgeous Jax Landon to show up.
He was the rich kid in high school, popular and golden and headed to be a lawyer in his father’s footsteps.
But now he carries a gun and is covered in tattoos. He claims to know how to cover up a murder, and as much as I don’t want his help, I’m stuck with him.
Because my sister is dating his younger brother.
Now Jax is calling me his pretty little accomplice, burning anything and everything that could incriminate me, and carrying me down mountains.
He’s dangerous, infuriating, and annoyingly irresistible.
And I don’t know if my heart can handle him.
Jax:
My father built an empire in the legal world and then locked me out, instead raising me to be one of his weapons.
On paper, I’m a lawyer. In practice, a cleaner.
I make witnesses go away so they can’t testify against his cases, cover up murders for his shady clients.
It’s gruesome work, and I would love nothing more than to be in a courtroom instead.
So when I return home to make sure my father doesn’t condemn my younger brother to the same fate, I’m pissed to find that my brother has already entangled himself in a murder.
All to help a girl and her older sister.
I should put a bullet in both of them. That’s what my father would want. No loose ends falling back on the family name..
But Kira Noland is a thorn in my ass. She’s too beautiful to kill, has too much tenacity to snuff out.
The fight in her is admirable. Even as her heart falls apart, she just won’t quit.
I have to have her even if she doesn’t want me, have to help her even if she doesn’t want it.
But if our father finds out, she’s dead, and if the detective snooping around finds one shred of evidence, she’s incarcerated.
Neither is acceptable, and if I have to, I’ll burn down everything to protect her.
Pretty Little Accomplice is a spicy dark romance with a morally gray hero. It is intended for those 18+ and has trigger warnings. It has elements of forced proximity and small town corruption.

I am kind of split over this book. I think it is well written and I like that the storyline was not super predictable. But, and maybe it was just me that didn't realize this when I started the book, but for anyone that is planning to read it, know that this is the first part of a series, not a stand alone. I personally would have not read the book had I known that (I really don't like series, that's obviously a personal preference).
As for the content of the book, I think what bothers me is the character development of Kira. She starts out as this tough FMC but by the second half of the book she feels like a completely different person. Like things start just happening to her and she does not feel like an active character in the book. You know, how if Indiana Jones weren't part of the movie the outcome would have been the same? It felt very similar here.
Finally, I am still giving this 4 stars, since most of the critique I had was just a personal preference. I will say though, I was tempted to give it 3 just for how much I disliked Nix in the book (and then I remind myself that this is just a book and it is not that deep, although man is she annoying 😂). I will not be reading the next part(s?) of this series but still it is a well written book, so for those who like series, this might be a good book for you.

wow wow wow! There was no slow build up for this one. Right out of the gate we have a DEAD BODY and a FMC in an ambulance in chapter 1! The entire book was such a roller coaster ride. Things would be crazy then calm just a little then BOOM crazy again! All while the characters are trying to navigate it all and keep one of the FMCs alive and everyone out of jail! This was an ARC read for me and Im so glad I was chosen as a reader. It ends on a cliffhanger and I NEED to know what happens next!! Im look forward to reading more from Gigi Meadows.

Rated only one star because book ends on a cliffhanger with no warning in any of the promotional materials/blurb that it CANNOT be read as a standalone.
A real waste of my time.
I typically would have rated it four stars for writing/story, but not forewarning about the cliffhanger ending is a sin I won't ever forgive.

I am beyond mad. Don’t tell me it’s Book 1 of 1 and END ON A CLIFFHANGER! What the actual..?!?! I just wanted a standalone and now I have to wait God knows how long to find out what happens because there is no mention of a Book 2 Absolutely not cool. I obviously liked the book or I wouldn’t care if it ended on a cliffhanger or not. I thought the author did a great job of writing Jax snd Kira their chemistry and banter in the beginning was delightful. I really liked the way he commanded all situations and took care of everything and also was trying to balance whether or not he was going to “take care” of Kira or not. I loved her tough exterior and the way she also took care of all of her situations, but I do think around midway through the book she really changed and couldn’t stop worrying and over worrying about everything so she lost a lot of the edge that she had that made her so much fun as an FMC. She did get some of her sass back near the end, but would’ve liked to have seen a little bit more. Nix and Caleb‘s relationship was also solid writing and I like the arc that they had but again so incredibly pissed off that it ended on a cliffhanger.

Morally gray, protective, a little unhinged, but completely gone for her? Yes please.
I really enjoyed this one.
The whole “helping hide a body” setup immediately pulled me in, but what kept me hooked was Jax. Morally gray, protective, a little unhinged, but completely gone for her? Yes please.
I loved that he fell first. The way he took care of Kira, even when everything was messy and dangerous, hit that perfect balance of intense and soft. And the spice? Definitely delivered without taking away from the story.
If you’re into:
• morally gray heroes
• forced proximity
• protective, “I’ll burn the world for you” energy
• small town corruption vibes
This one is worth picking up.

Not worth continuing Kira has no real personality no ifea why he likes her. Also no one is dumb enough to forget they left DNA in their vehicle. They burned everything else but she forgot to mention to the professional the other truck. He would have had them start from the beginning all the way to the end when they found each other each step they took so he knew about her truck.
She is trying to make a barely tolerable book a duet which is ridiculous. Not enough plot or story to make another book.

This book plot unfolded around Insta-love, which I always hate because… why? You love her? You’d die for her? You just met. That’s crazy. Where is the slow burn? The buildup and the tension? The characters and feelings development? Not here.
But to make matters worse, the main character, Kira, was supposed to be this strong, independent caretaker, who raised her sister and managed a house since the age of eight. And yet in every scene, she was either in a hospital bed, fainting, being carried, crying, or making some stupid decision that would lead to one of those former things. I was so unimpressed with her. Like, if you just wanna write a helpless, needy, pathetic, main character then do it. Don’t write her into a big sister, competent, tough image that doesn’t match the plot at all.
Also, why is everybody stupid? Why did they burn everything to the ground except the truck? I was over this book pretty early, but for some reason, read to the end/“cliffhanger“. Definitely not continuing to book 2.

Such a captivating and original read!
Right away I was pulled into the story! It was filled with twists and turns, action, danger and much more!!
Then we have are main characters, Jax and Kira. Together, these two had such great chemistry and spice.
I cant wait for the next book!

Review of advance copy
This was a great story that kept me engaged from beginning to end! i love how the author pulls you in with the dual perspective. Kira and Jax's personality comes out great and their chemistry is hot! They both are protective over their siblings. Kira goes through heart issues at the same time as trying to help her sister get away with a murder of a deadbeat cop. While Jax is protective towards his brother who helps Kira's sister with the murder coverup, Jax is pulled towards Kira and helps her with the murder cover up as well. Never a dull moment, they face one issue over another. Then when you think there's closure in the end, it continues but ends with a cliffhanger unfortunately.
I enjoyed the book and would recommend for others to read.

Kept me on the hook throughout the entire book and I was shocked by the climax... Jax is going to lose his mind after that cliffhanger. Can't wait for the next one!

Captivating and intriguing. I was entranced throughout the book and I need the second part NOW.

4.5 because it ended on a cliffhanger, but 10 stars to Jax - I’m so in love with him, I don’t even recognise myself.
