The Blonde Who Came in From the Cold

Ally Carter

5.0

Mercy

I cannot recommend this book enough, It’s so much fun. The witty banter, the competitiveness, the forced proximity, the pining, the need to protect each other, the twists… it’s all so good. I would protect my sweet sassy baby Alex with my life! She really deserved her happy ending and I’m so glad she made it through this rollercoaster with King by her side.

Andrew Eiden and Emily Ellet did such a great job bringing King and Alex to life in this book. They really nailed the balance of serious and emotional with the sarcasm and wit. The longing reflected in these characters is incredible.

This book jumps around through the couple’s ten year history so there were some moments where it was hard to remember what year and/or which mission was being described, but to me it wasn’t bad enough to disrupt the flow of the story. It was really fun to see the way their relationship evolved and regressed as they both fought through their feelings on and off for years.

I would say if you’re worried about following this kind of timeline jumping, a physical copy or ebook may be a better fit for you than the audiobook.

Ally Carter’s writing has such a fun and unique balance of mystery with the romance. I always have such a good time reading her books.
