Description:
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.
Review:
The Spy and I by Tiana Smith is a fun spy thriller, that I thoroughly enjoyed. We meet Dove Barkley, our heroine, works as an IT cyber security analyst, who tests company’s security systems on their networks to make sure they are safe from hackers. One day, she is accidently mistaken for her twin sister, Madison who she learns is actually an undercover CIA agent. Someone hands her a briefcase, with documents, and before she could do anything, the person is killed; Dove quickly runs away.
Mendez, our hero, works for the CIA, and is looking for Dove’s sister, who he feels has gone rogue; he pretends to interview, Dove. He meets with Dove, to get the papers, and claims he is her sister’s partner. Dove then gets involved in a dangerous government mission, to catch Holt, a wanted criminal trying to take over the CIA. She worries, as everyone thinks Madison has gone rogue, and is determined to prove her sister’s innocent. Can she trust Mendez?
What follows is Mendez gets Dove to help, especially with her knowledge of being a hacker, and her amazing abilities. They go travel to Prague to find the bad guy, escaping assassins who are trying to stop them. Dove does see Madison a few times, with her trying to convince her to not help Mendez and go home. Dove finds herself falling hard for Mendez, as he was not only smart, but so very handsome; in a short time, the sparks fly between them with sizzling chemistry. To say too much more, would be spoilers; especially with the last third of the book being fast paced and filled with exciting and intense nonstop action.
The Spy and I was a fun enjoyable romance suspense spy thriller, with a great couple, expert cyber hacker, espionage, sisters, hot male spy and dangerous bad criminals. The Spy and I was so very well written by Tiana Smith.
