Sweet Little Spies

Masters and Mercenaries: New Recruits, Book 3

By: Lexi Blake

Narrated by: Ryan West

Since he was a kid, Aidan O'Donnell has known two things about the world. Tristan is his best friend, and Carys is the love of his life. Sharing her with Tristan was oddly easy. They both loved her deeply, and they never cared what anyone else thought. They were a team and everything was wonderful. Until the day it ended.

Carys Taggart has spent the last year and a half of her life living a lie. She understands that it was meant to protect her and Aidan, but lately when Tristan says he doesn't love her, it feels more like the truth. The wedding she's dreamed of has been put off far longer than he promised. When he asks her and Aidan for another delay, she's ready to move on without him.

Tristan Dean-Miles has a good plan and the best of intentions. Go undercover as a ruthless arms dealer so he can find a deadly bombmaker at the top of the agency's wanted list. It might be taking longer than expected, but he's so close he can taste it. Unfortunately, getting this close meant getting in way too deep. He knows he will succeed, but if he can't convince the love of his life and his best friend that he's worth the wait, his victory will cost him everything.

Contains mature themes.

Almost Too Good!

As expected, this story is just perfection as are all the masters and mercenaries books and all spin offs and all novellas. If you’re new to this series please go back and read from the beginning and feel how beautiful the kids stories are based on the parents struggles! I just love them all! Thank you Lexi Blake for another amazing adventure! Please don’t stop! Ever.

Loved My fix of Big Tag and Crew!!!

I desperately need KAYLA (Kick A Little Ass) in my greedy ears like yesterday! I wish the ending wasn't so quick in this one. it was freaking fantastic but I was disappointed not to get a honeymoon scene in. Long live Big Tag!

Thruple … love the Taggarts

Don’t stop … need more Taggarts. I love that Ian is still head of the team, and keeps his children safe and that the sarcasm is not sto

Another Great Read & Listen

Lexi Blake writes amazing stories and Ryan West reads these stories perfectly, a match made in Heaven (sigh sigh) Now waiting desperately for Kala & Coopers story & what happened that long ago night of the kidnapping. Her books have it all, intrigue, action, romance, commitment & family. And my fave sarcastic male "Big Tag" Highly recommend her books/ audible & immediately preorder as soon as come up.

non stop action and I loved it!

Buckle up because you're in for one hell of a rollercoaster ride with this book!

Carys, Aidan, and Tristan are the throuple everyone is rooting for and hoping they finally get married!

Lexi delivers in a big way with this book. There's non-stop action, couple drama, spy games and more!

Things definitely ramped up in this New Recruits world...

Loved this book so much I immediately listened to the book after reading.

The insanely talented Ryan West never fails to pull me into this world with his ability to voice so many different characters and accents!

This book is awesome!!

Long time Lexi Blake fan… and I am so in love with this series. I’ve been waiting for Aiden, Caris and Tristan’s story to play out. I needed their story. And, boy did I get it! I just wanted to know what Tristan was into, what he was doing. My heart broke for Caris when he left again. She was so hurt, and seemed broken. I’m not sure I expected everything I got, but I loved it.. so that’s a good thing.

Lexi Blake has created this group of characters and the McKay-Taggart world and it’s a place I so enjoy being a part of when I read the books. Learning more about this trio was just what I needed. This is so good, and the McKay-Taggart crew does what they do and that makes it better. I so enjoyed this book and found it such a great read, that my audio pre-order came through today and I put it right on. Now I’m listening… and I’ve read and listened to all of them and recommended them to everyone!!

Ryan West is an excellent choice for narrator for this series!! And the fact that he consistently narrates the Masters and Mercenaries books makes me want to listen to all o them.

not my favorite

I really like these books and can always count on a great and exciting story. this one was just not in my top 10 favorites.

Pure gold.....

4.5 Stars 🌟

I am not sure how many times I can say this....but I absolutely LOVE THIS SERIES. Well, this is a spin off of a spin off...but you know what I mean..... I LOVE the world and the characters that have been built.

We are now well over 30 books into the world of the Taggarts and M&M and we are now diving into the second generation. This storyline has been teased to faithful readers for a while now and I was eager to discover what the heck had happened between these three. So, yes, this story focuses on Tristan, Aidan and Carys.

I cannot stress how wonderful it is to keep coming come back to this world that has been so brilliantly and lovingly built over years and years. I was thinking in my head how I would explain the series to my husband and I just started laughing in my head. We have Big Tag (Ian Taggart) - an ex-CIA guy who owns and runs a "club" and who also runs one of the most successful security companies in the world - who's kids and the kids of all of their extended friends and "family" are now involved in the spy game too. The kids have also started their own "club" so they would have a place to "play" without the possibility of running into their parents.....and they are also involved in missions to save the world. SEE, that sounds bonkers...but it just, well, it just works. Don't ask me how. I absolutely LOVE these characters and their zaniness and the humor and hilarity and the relationships and the found family. I could go on and on.

And add to that that there is always an actual plot to each and every book.....and it is just pure genius. This plot has us finally discovering what Tristan has gotten involved in that made him pull away from Carys and Aidan in a very silly attempt at trying to protect them. And, as usually happens when one hand is not talking to the other hand - things have gotten out of hand. There is a evil psychopath who has ulterior motives (other than burning down the world) that we (and the team) eventually discover. And to say that his reasons and motivations end up shocking everyone....yep....pure gold.

Also, let me quickly mention that Ryan West has pretty much been the voice of this series for as long as I can remember and he did another brilliant job with the narration on this one as well.

I have no idea how each book in this series always feels like it flies by in a flash. I was so involved in just BEING back in this world, and add to that, that there were some really tense moments, that before I knew it....it was over. *sigh*

So, now we wait for the next book. Kala and Cooper are up next.

I. Can't. Wait.

Good love Ryan West

Story was good. Can't hardly wait for the next book in the series. Great Books

Riveting

I could not wait to read Sweet Little Spies which is Carys Taggart, Aidan O’Donnell and Tristan Dean-Miles’s story and what a story it was.

These 3 are meant to be together until Tristan walked away, destroying the life they always planned, even though all is not as it seems.

Their story was complicated but what a wonderful journey it was as they realised how they felt about one another.

The camaraderie, banter and interference from all their families had me smiling, laughing and shaking my head at times at their antics and interference.

This was a well written, action-packed romantic suspense story with a good balance of romance and suspense. I was on the edge of my seat whilst reading such is Ms. Blake’s writing, she draws you in and will keep you riveted from the first to the last chapter.

The narration by Ryan West was spot on and he was easy to listen to. He brought the story to life for me that Ms. Blake created and did justice to the wonderful characters.
