Ex-Interpol agent and CIA analyst are thrown together when bullets start flying. He's a charming playboy; she's a practical workaholic. There's  a big dose of insta-lust to their romance and I thought the (sexual) spark off was a bit wtf. But going into it, I enjoyed their dynamics and chemistry. He sees way beyond her quietness, and takes every opportunity to uplift her. She grounds him and makes him see there's more to life than ONSs. 

Plenty of sizzle, sexy times and dodging danger - she's super tough when she needs to be. But her self-esteem issues go through repetitive cycles, though he constantly shows her how great he thinks she is. And I always enjoyed a playboy falling like a ton of rocks! 😂 The book's not that deep, but it's breezy and fun.
