Twins swapping identities, a British spy looking for a traitor… working undercover has never been more fun until love enters the equation. Still reeling from a devastating loss, Audrey Powell tries her best to run her mother’s teahouse. It’s a disaster and she almost burns the whole place down. Handsome Brit Liam James swoops in and offers to help. She’s attracted to him immediately so he must be a poet, her weakness. When her supermodel twin sister arrives, the two hatch a plan to swap identities, at least for a while. It all seems so innocent, but Audrey soon learns working undercover is hard work. When Audrey discovers Liam’s a British spy looking for a traitor, she realizes she’s in over her head. Does she know the traitor? Worse yet, is it someone close to her? Audrey and Liam will have to work together in order to capture the criminal. Working undercover has never been this rewarding, especially when it comes to falling in love.

Undercover in Venice Beach is a whirlwind of emotions fueled by love, secrecy, and tea. From the first page, the descriptive narration allowed me to escape to beautiful Venice Beach, California. I connected with Audrey right away. Her grief came out in strange ways, but honestly so. The sparks fly between her and Liam so it was entertaining to see them both try to deny their feelings for each other. The suspense subplot enthralled me, and I kept wondering what was going on and how it would be resolved. The plot moved at a fluid pace with plenty of colorful characters to interact with. The romance was slow at times and sweeping at other times. If you’re looking to be swept away, pick up Undercover in Venice Beach. Highly recommend!

My Rating: 5 stars

The premise of this is so cute and I had a really great time with this book! Highly recommend this as a fun beach read, or something to get absorbed in easily! I really loved it!
