Library Journal: Debutante with a Dangerous Past

 

Full review: 

Nancy Black wants to escape her scandalous past, but falling in love with Lord Matthew Stringham was not in her plans. As Nancy attempts to stay out of trouble and be the perfect debutante, her past catches up with her, jeopardizing her life, love, and hopes for a safe, comfortable future. Full of intrigue and mystery, Hastings's Regency rags-to-riches story will keep readers hooked. The plot moves along quickly, and the language is reflective of the time period. The central romance is introduced almost immediately and grows throughout the story. The criminal past of the main character adds mystery and tension, keeping readers wondering what will happen next. VERDICT With romance, mystery, and scandal, Hastings's latest book (after The Marquess and the Runaway Lady) has it all. Perfect for a quick weekend read and for fans of Regency romance.—(Library Journal, vol 148, issue 7, p1)

Review: The Spy and I by Tiana Smith

  The Spy and I by Tiana Smith Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smart, sexy, and spies! What more do you want from a book? Seriously, I absolutely loved it. Dove Barkley is a cyber security specialist (aka penetration tester) who is mistaken for her super spy sister! She teams up with a hot CIA operative named Mendez to clear her sister's name. I loved all the spy details. If you liked the TV show "Chuck" and/or "Mission Impossible" film series you will devour this book! The romance is a longing, slow burn, where Dove isn't sure what is real and what's not. Steamy kisses, but no bedroom scenes. The action and fighting is exciting. And the twists kept me on the edge of my seat. I can hardly wait for the companion book! #TheSpyAndI #TianaSmith #Berkley @berkleyromance #RomCom #SpyBook #Romance #BookReview #BookRecommendation
