About this deal

Also, yes Filipino representation!! When Filipino food was mentioned, I got giddy! When *that* character spoke in Tagalog, I got giddy! So nice to see. First of all, this book was a completely different genre that what I normally read. I usually avoid suspense and anything scary at all costs, but when I saw Kaye was writing this book, I knew I had to give it a chance since I absolutely adored Glad You Exist. And let me just say, I am so glad I did! This book is a masterpiece. All that to say, even if you don't normally read suspense, please give this book a chance because Kaye did a beautiful job of crafting this story. Omg I can't breathe !!! How good ,excited and overwhelmed this book made me feel . Ria - I am so sorry you had to go through all those traumas but the strength you had i literally adore you for that We see Noah and Ria fall head-over-heels in love with each other, and now it’s 6 years later - Ria has been missing and Noah just found her again, the love of his life, except that she’s convinced he ruined her life and that she has already divorced him!

This book has so many, "I know him better than I know myself" and without any explanations that it drove me insane. Noah does clenches his fist; "its bc he wants to protect us, I know him" 😃 like????? ok.but after going into hiding, Ria’s in a dark place, not-to-mention vulnerable and no matter how much she tries to push him away, all Noah wants to do is take away her pain. because now that he’s found her, he’s not letting go, and Noah will do anything to protect what’s his. she decides to "sacrifice," herself and go willingly to her roommate, who btw is out to get her, and when she's at gunpoint then she realizes that her husband deserves better :) and naturally he comes and saves the day. AND Noah Thomas - do you know how much I loved you from that coffee shop scene ? You are the existence of the perfect word .. the way you always loved and cared for your wife no matter how much hurted you were ..makes me wonder i would ever love another fictional character as much I felt for you !!!! So many questions and why's right? is it killing you to know the answers? Well you'll have to read it, to find out.

I think the overall plot fell flat for me, it was all squished into one short book (I practically finished this in a few hours) and it was just all happening way too fast with little segue between each. Like cutesy vibes to "i hate you vibes but also not your fault vibes" to s**t, it's her fault not his?! I get the story, but I feel like it was too condensed and would've felt better if the plot was spread into a mini-series so that I could understand the characters better.

Customer reviews

I also didn’t love how Ria’s character was always pushing Noah away out of fear, and it was frustrating because he was also hurt by everything going on. However, I didn’t love the insta-love, love a first sight, etc. It made it hard to connect with Ria and Noah’s relationship and it made everything feel so rushed. Aku baca karena Noah nya YaAllah pasangan impian banget tapi kenapa harus ketemu Ria ya yang mana nyebelin banget. Karena kesalahpahaman di 8 halaman terakhir Ria nya baru bilang cinta lagi sama Noah. Padahal sebaik itu dan bukan salah Noah juga 🥲 Meet Ria, she works in a lovely coffee shop. And then there's Noah, an FBI agent. He happens to get coffee everyday for the past couple of months but of course he only wants his coffee from that specific place😉. The thing is, they don't really talk to each other but he's so in awe of her that he just keeps going just to admire her. Eventually one day Ria decides to talk to him... and "Hi there" is all it takes! I don’t typically read suspense romance- so I feel like I’m not the ideal audience for this book-but after reading it, I feel like Ria and Noah could totally have a duology book about them after all this chaos. I would love to see Ria (and Noah) in a healthy mental state. In this book- Ria was (understandably) severely distressed the entire time - and I really want to know her when she’s in a peaceful state also.

the author did some amazing writing with a very limited story setting and tight atmosphere that just worked out perfectly In Case You Didn't Know holds a beautiful story about two people, whose lives have been completely turned around, now having to figure out how - and if - their relationship can be restored, all while being under threat in a dangerous situation and i really appreciate that this wasn't at all about the sexual intimacy but rather the intimacy of mutual vulnerability and proper communication with emotional chemistry. it made their relationship seem very authentic and wholesome I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO WORDS FOR THIS,, the only reason I gave it an extra 0.5 was bc Noah is a sweetheart. First of all, I liked the show of vulnerability here from both characters. While reading, I could tell that their love for one another goes deep, and maybe just the way that it was written in simple yet hitting descriptions. When the drama started unfolding, it kept me confused and curious with the characters so I started guessing with them as well, which was fun to do.It’s starts with Noah, an FBI agent, visiting Ria everyday at the coffee shop where she works, admiring her from afar. Then one day Ria say hello, and they instantly have a connection. They fall in love and fast forward 6 years later, after more than a year missing Noah sees Ria in a grocery store. Noah has been trying to find her and here she in right in front of him but with no interest in connecting. From there Noah and Ria face difficult and dangerous situations, learning everything is not what is seems. I freaking LOVED Noah 😍 like so so much. he is protective and loyal, and he would go to any length to defend his family 🥺💞 Ria, on the other hand, i really did love her character a lot and sympathized with her but she did annoy me just a little, but she'd gone through a lot and her emotions were understandable. I felt bad as every time they shared a special moment, she would close herself off again as she was afraid to get hurt again (and I get that i do as I’ve often done similar stuff and felt the same) BUT I really felt so bad for Noah and Ria after all they’d been through and I felt they deserved their happily ever after, which they did get so yayyyyyy 🤍🎉 First, thank you to @ for allowing me to read her second book! So grateful for the ARC! Second, thank you to @ for convincing me to read this book with your amazing review! I enjoyed this romantic suspense with a Filipino fmc, but wanted it to be a bit more than it was. But if you are looking for a closed door romance with some crime procedural vibes this will hit that spot!

Penulisnya kayaknya dari Filipina karena ada dua dialog yang pake bahasa tagalog dan ga di translate, bikin bingung. Penulisannya juga masih kurang rapih kayak ada beberapa paragraf yang harusnya ga di enter, malah di enter. it’s been a year since FBI Agent Noah Thomas has seen his wife, Alessandria, but now she stands only ten feet away from him. I told her how I wondered if that’s why I kept gravitating towards her. Because I saw a soul akin to mine. A kindred spirit.”✨Now for my thoughts. I was very confused when reading the plot initially, especially as it is described as romance suspense - but also gave off crime/thriller vibes?! But anyway, I think the book starts off the way every romance (cringy) story starts. A cute story between the two main characters, Ria and Noah. Also, shout out to the Filipinos, the representation was great in this book. I enjoyed this romantic suspense with a Filipino fmc, but wanted it to be Goodreads Librarians are volunteers who help ensure the accuracy of information about books and authors in the Goodreads' catalog.
