A light easy fun ride! It's definitely a book where you should suspend your disbelief and just go with the punches.
I was a little bit pulled out of the story when it was revealed that Mendez's orders were to shoot Doves sister on site. And Dove obviously gets upset but then Mendez just goes "well I'm not actually going to do it!!" And she goes "oh okay" *cue makeout scene*.
The entire rest of the book she's doubting everything he's saying because he literally tells her not to trust him. But she can trust him when he says that apparently??
Still a solid 3 stars though and if the author writes more in this series I'll probably pick it up.

3.5/5 - The Spy and I by Tiana Smith was a fast-paced spy rom-com with an instant-love trope. Dove works in cyber security. Somehow, she is mistaken for her twin sister, an undercover CIA agent, and ends up with her getting involved in a spy mission with her sister's CIA partner, Mendez. Together they travel around the world trying to escape the assassins after them and find a CIA double agent. There's a lot of adventure, action, spy talk, banter, and lightness despite having assassins after them. This was an easy and light read that felt more like a cozy mystery with a side of romance than a true romance book. While it was instant-love romance, there was no spice nor chemistry between Dove and Mendez. I was disappointed that it didn't have the tension or air of mystery that I was expecting.
