A Covert Affair by Kennedy L. Mitchell
5.0
Covert Affair is Navy SEAL Senior Officer Gabe Wilcox and CIA Agent Lucia Rizzo coming together to uncover a mole among the former’s ranks.
Synopsis:
Lucia Rizzo is CIA and on a mission to identify rogue agent(s). But she’s suddenly called back to base where a bigger assignment is waiting for her.
Gabriel Wilcox is smitten with his new coworker, even though it rankles him that one of his team members might be a traitor. He can’t help but be fixated on her since she set foot on their home turf.
While work is important, they both feel that their mutual attraction might just be the beginning of something new in their lives…
Review:
At thirty-four, Lucia is tired of the ops she’s being given and wants a break or a change in her routine. But just when she thinks of going on one, after her current assignment is over, she’s reassigned. And holy smokes, ain’t there a different level of scorching hot somebody whom she totally doesn’t want to be interested in on the other end.
I loved reading Covert Affairs and somehow knew that reading a [a:Kennedy L. Mitchell|15505700|Kennedy L. Mitchell|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1542508144p2/15505700.jpg] can never be less than combustible. Especially when the author brings in a Miss Congeniality twist.
Also, it was the first time that I read about such a scenario where a clingy ex of the female protagonist and the male protagonist are best friends, and the former is all for sabotaging their budding attraction, which was kind of a balm to my feminist soul, about how men can sometimes be jealous pieces of shit too.
Anyway, the way the author builds up anticipation, yet takes it slow and sweet, is just too good. I love the way Mitchell writes her female protagonists, with those sassy mouths and badass brains. The perfect combo of vulnerable and resilient…
Gabe is thirty-six and the way they click instantly, it’s amazing; it’s pure chemistry right there. Especially their insta-messaging, which is as funny as it is flirty.
Gabe and Luce are the “it” couple for me. Narrated in the first person from both points of view, it’s pretty much fun and games and knowing and being with each other till it’s showtime. And that is when danger creeps in from all fronts. The best thing is that it still doesn’t end. Both the danger and the story!
There’s more to it than meets the eye, but I was able to guess the mole from the beginning, so…yeah. anyways, it was a damn thrilling read and I enjoyed every minute of it. And to top it off, it had a sweet and crazy epilogue perfectly suited to them both. Gabe and Luce together, forever.
