Two rival con artists.
One Miami heist.
Ocean's 8, but make it sapphic. Chloe Bly has been quietly stealing from Miami's rich and careless to pay off her late mother's medical debt by using her hotel catering job as cover. It's a solid system until she gets caught. And the person who catches her? Her longtime rival, Harper Parisi.
But instead of turning Chloe in, the hotel owner coerces both women into teaming up to pull off a much bigger job. What follows is a slow-burn heist with a Miami backdrop, sharp writing, and enemies-to-lovers tension that absolutely simmers.
This is Jenna Voris's adult debut, and it shows real range. The rivalry between Chloe and Harper crackles. You know they hate each other, but you also know something else is going on underneath all of it. The supporting characters, Priya and Logan, round things out nicely and give the story some breathing room from all that charged energy between the leads. The Miami setting is a great fit for the story's vibe.
This one is a slow burn. If you want nonstop action from page one, you might feel the setup phase dragging a little. But once it gets going, it delivers.
If you love a good heist, strong female characters, sapphic romance, and the general vibe of "be gay, do crime" then this one's for you. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
