The Spy and I by Tiana Smith
Did not finish book. Stopped at 59%.
I'll start by saying that I think the storyline/plot was going in a good direction. A little predictable, but a fun time altogether.
For some reason though, the writing style and I just didn't get along. The author has more of a "tell, don't show" approach - with describing how smart Dove was or how hot Mendez was. The mix of insta-lust and constantly telling us that Mendez was attractive and could make any woman swoon was enough to put me off a bit.
Dove also just seemed a little naive. The CIA is good? She never thought they would sacrifice civilians? She constantly belives Mendez is on her side or that her sister could be not so innocent? Eh.
I think I'd be willing to read the rest normally but this book just caught me at a bad time with little patience.
