Super cute insta love story. It was a great break from all the slow burns recently. Storyline was interesting and I don’t know if it’s just me but the main character reminded me of Anna from frozen. Her personality was relatable but I do think she was super chill at times that definitely called for more panic. Overall a good comfort read.

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.

This is a classic spy romance novel complete with mistaken identities, subterfuge, globe-trotting, code-cracking, and explosions. It’s definitely insta-love, but a fun and fast-paced story that fits neatly within the genre.
