About the BookAn action-packed, second-chance rom-com about two rival spies who must join forces in order to stay alive, from New York Times bestselling author Ally Carter.
Ten years ago, they joined the CIA.
Six years ago, he left the game.
Five years ago, they fell in love.
One year ago, she ran out into the cold with absolutely no intention of ever coming back.
And two minutes ago, they woke up, bloody and bruised and handcuffed together in the dark.
They don’t know where they are. They don’t know how they got there. And they have absolutely no idea who is after them or what this nameless, faceless villain wants.
The only thing that’s clear is that, after ten years of covers and chemistry, secrets and lies, these two rival spies have been sucked into their greatest mission yet, and now they’re going to have to team up to stay alive. (If they don’t kill each other first.)
MY THOUGHTS
This was a super fun romantic comedy. Full of hilarious laugh-out-loud moments and exciting high-stakes action, this book was nearly impossible to put down.
There are two POVs, Alex and King, and also two timelines, the present and the past, which starts ten years ago when they first met and became spies and leads up to the present time. I thought it was really fun to see how their relationship evolved over time and to see all their ups and downs.
Speaking of their relationship, Alex and King had amazing chemistry. Their banter was so much fun. They made a great, albeit reluctant, team.
I will say that while I really enjoyed seeing their past and present, there were a few times where I had a hard time keeping track of which timeline we were in and who the narrator was. But, other than that, this was an absolute joy to read. While it is the second book in the series, I believe it can stand alone okay. Although, you might miss out on some of the fun of how the two books are connected.
NOTE: This is a closed-door romance that includes some strong language.
I received a copy of this book and voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and comments are my honest opinion.
