Praise for It Had to Be You
“It Had to Be You is an astonishing read, equally romantic and twisted, deliciously sexy and disturbing! This book answers the question I've been pondering for years: What if John Wick was a rom-com? Eliza Jane Brazier managed to write two characters who are like no one else, in a book that is the new blueprint for Enemies to Lovers. I kicked my feet when they kissed—and kicked them even more when they tried to kill each other! If you’re the kind of reader who enjoys unique romance novels with an edge, a whole lot of unpredictable twists, and the idea of a seasoned assassin traveling across Europe and falling for the person they’re supposed to kill, this is the book for you! A humorously dark, upsettingly sexy, unique love story about the horrors and delights of being seen as who we really are—with lots of swords and plenty of smut!”—Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically
“Just when I thought I couldn’t love Brazier’s writing any more, she releases It Had to Be You! Sizzling chemistry paired with wild plot twists makes this book impossible to put down—and to forget! 25/10 would recommend!”—Lynn Painter, New York Times bestselling author of Happily Never After
