Covert Assignment
by Missy Marciassa
What happens when the plan you’ve had since you were a kid has a wrench thrown in it? That’s exactly what happens to college senior Elle when she discovers intimate pictures between her boyfriend, Adam, and his project partner. As if that isn’t enough, Elle gets a new partner for her thesis, Preston Raddick, who she finds out is really funding her project as an undercover investigation for the CIA. As things heat up between Elle and Preston and she gets closer to completing her thesis, she finds herself thrown into a world of danger where she finds herself questioning if her plan is really what she wants.
The story showed a lot of growth for Elle. She is your typical good college student. She’s worked hard to stay in school funded by only scholarships since her parents find her more of an annoyance than an asset although she has finally come to terms with that. When her world gets turned upside down by her boyfriend’s betrayal and the deception of her thesis, she doesn’t know where to turn. Sure, her best friends and roommates can offer advice about her love life but how can she deviate from her paved pathway. The only person she can speak to about her project is Preston but she wonders where his intentions truly lie. As the bond between her and Preston grows, Elle find herself fighting for her life, showing strength and courage she never thought she had. And speaking of Preston, yum! I can just picture this sexy, mysterious secret agent. From questioning her life plan to sampling new things, he’s the one who really pulls her from her comfort zone. The only real question is if he’s in it for the long haul.
Missy has done a wonderful job of creating a coming of age story. The plot snatches you up and doesn’t let go until the very end. Her main character, Elle, shows a lot of growth throughout and the romance is ahhhmazing. It doesn’t hurt that there’s a hot agent involved either. The ending offers closure for this part of the story but offers a cliffhanger of sorts pulling you into the next book. I can’t wait to read Covert Interview which comes out on December 2nd.
I would recommend this book to fans of new adult romance. With the CIA angle, it would also be appropriate for those who like a good romantic suspense.
