Author: Amy Spector
Release Date: January 19, 2018
Category: Contemporary, States of Love
Pages: 106
Every man has secrets, but some are bigger than others….
Felix Peake escaped a shady past to carve out a successful career as an expert in Mesopotamian art and gain the respect of the Chicago art community. But when an assistant curator—a man Felix could easily see himself falling for—asks him to reauthenticate a cuneiform tablet to avoid a looming scandal, Felix’s carefully constructed life could crumble.
The tablet is a fake, and Felix is intimately familiar with the artist. Master forger Carter Janson—Felix’s ex and first love—disappeared from his life six years before without a word of explanation. Now, to hold his world together, Felix must find the original tablet, steal it back, and replace the forgery—all before the museum exhibit debuts. It’ll mean slipping back into a role Felix wanted to leave behind and risking his promising future. But even then, he can’t do it alone. He’ll have to confront that rat, Carter Janson.
4 Stars!!!
I'm going to be perfectly honest here, I wasn't sure if I was going to like this book at first. It was a little strange at first and frankly, I wasn't too fond of Felix, one of the MCs. However, once Carter Janson came into the picture, I had to change my mind. While it took me a while to warm up to Felix, I really liked Carter from the start. He was sweet, fun, self-deprecating and a bit deluded regarding his art, hahahaha, but there was something about him that I found endearing. They were good together, though, and it was nice that they managed to get past their differences.
The mystery of who'd exchanged the tablet Felix was asked to certify was well done, it was a bit predictable, but the author managed to give it a humorous, ingenuous twist.
All in all, That Rat, Carter Janson was an unexpected surprise. It was well-written and a fun and engaging read that I can recommend!
