The Spy and I

By: Tiana Smith

Narrated by: Jaime Lamchick

Right place. Wrong person. After a case of mistaken identity, one woman must work with her sister’s sexy spy partner to save the world in this heart-pounding romantic comedy.

The first thing to know about Dove Barkley is that, even though she works as a cyber security analyst, she is one hundred percent not an undercover CIA operative. But when a group of bad guys mistake her for her super-spy sister (news to her!), Dove gets roped into a dangerous government mission that she’d very much rather be left out of, thank you.

Too bad Mendez, the man who claims to be her sister’s partner, says she's in too deep to back out now. He’s smart, capable, and has a body almost distracting enough to make Dove forget about the team of trained assassins after her.

Dove has information that can help prevent a national tragedy, but there’s mounting evidence that Mendez might not be who he claims. More importantly, she's running out of time to save her sister. Because the last thing Dove wants is for either of them to go out with a bang.

An excellent cozy romance with lots of action

Fast paced and fun, this was an unexpected treat. The hacking was very believable, even if the espionage twists were obvious. I didn’t realize this was a cozy, so was a little surprised to get to the end with nothing more than kisses. Still, the MCs had great chemistry and Dove and her sister’s relationship as former foster kids gave the story added heart. This story introduced one of the MCs for the next book and
I’ve already wishlisted it.

Cute closed door romance

For those of us who like closed door and soft kisses, this is a great read. I do feel like some lines were a bit heavy on the cheese but cutesy. Certain procedures like of the CIA are mentioned that sounded not too accurate but I’m not in the CIA.

a really fun listen
