Later On We'll Conspire had all the elements I'm loving lately - romcom, banter, mystery elements, holiday theme. Was it realistic? Not so much. Was it perfectly plotted? Eh. Was it a fun time? Yup! Park and Lacee were fun characters, the Christmas setting was delightful, and the pacing made for a really quick listen. I enjoyed the narrators and recommend this book if you're looking for a different spin on a holiday romcom or just need a little bit of escapism.

Thank you to Dreamscape Select for gifting me with an ALC to review! All opinions are my own.

This was a fun rom-com about spies. I had a blast as the two MCs worked on the mission. Lots of fun twists and turns and great side characters. The narrators were amazing but they ended up being a bit spoilery.

I received an arc from netgalley and the publisher.

3 stars for the story. Two goofy agents mumble their way through to solving the case. The narrators made it very hard to listen and finish this book. Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape for this free digital copy. I am leaving this review voluntarily

This book wasn’t the experience I was hoping for and that may be partly due to the audiobook experience. While the narrators weren’t necessarily bad, their voices felt more suited to light-hearted holiday romances rather than a high-stakes spy romance. The delivery lacked the tension needed for moments like "OMG, someone is shooting at us," and stayed on the same tone throughout, which made it hard to immerse myself in the story.

As for the plot, the first half was overly focused on Christmas—almost to a fault. The characters made decisions based on Christmas-related whims, which felt excessive even for a holiday book. While there were a few amusing moments, the plot just didn't hold my interest, and I almost didn't finish it. I really had to push through. moments, it wasn’t enough to keep me fully engaged. The second half of the book did improve, with the pace picking up and more action, but even then, it didn’t quite live up to its potential.

If you're looking for a thrilling spy romance with a festive twist, "Later on We'll Conspire" might not be the best choice.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review, and while it had its moments, it ultimately didn't work for me

4⭐️ read for a Hilariously funny Christmas story!

When a Spy needs a little Christmas magic to get out of a tight situation. With the added bonus of cheeky banter, and funny back and forth. The right woman drops into his changing room like a gift from Santa himself! If only he knew!

I really enjoyed this book from the first page to the last. It’s an easy Christmas must read.

Really loved this spy romance there was intrigue hidden identities witty banter and more it was so good

This was a GREAT story to listen to! AWESOME narration! Great main characters. The plot was easy to find. The story was engaging and easy to follow. Will be purchasing this book. Shout out to Netgalley and publishing for allowing me to listen and review this story.

4 STARS!

Thank you Netgalley ans dreamscape select for the ALC. My opinions are being left voluntarily. I have enjoyed the r3stnkf the books in this Christmas series However this none left me scratching my head and wondering what was going on.... I found it confusing and boring.

3.5/5☆

Campy, ridiculous, unbelievable

You have to separate from reality too much for me to enjoy this one. It was so ridiculous, I should have DNFed it. It is not the type of book I enjoy.

I am sad that such a cute title was wasted on a book I disliked so much.

Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington narrate the audiobook. I do not enjoy Amanda Friday- I find her narrations annoying. I usually give a narrator a few times before writing them off, and I am at that point. Andy Harrington is fine. Kind of monotone and staccato, but tolerable.

I received an advance audio copy in exchange for an honest review.

If you're looking for a holiday read with a mix of spy action and rom-com magic, Later On We'll Conspire delivers! It feels like James Bond meets Christmas, with thrilling espionage and sweet romance blending together in such a satisfying way. Lacee, a charming chemist, brings her "sciency" flair to the story, and her periodic table-themed accessories are just delightful (I definitely need that charm bracelet). She has the brightest personality and is so relatable and loveable! Park's affection for her quirks adds a lovely touch to their budding relationship, and their chemistry is truly captivating. And that twist at the end? It blew me away! A must-read for anyone who enjoys action-packed romance during the festive season.

This was pretty darn cute. From the cheesy lines, mystery plot, and epilogue. I loved that it was Christmas romance adjacent. It was obviously taking place at Christmas and it factored into the plot to some extent but it was also more. There were some twists here and there that I saw coming pretty early on but I think they interesting and well done.
Amanda Friday & Andy Harrington were fun. I think their styles added to the quirky, fun vibes of this story and I liked their diction and speed.

My first Kortney Keisel book. I really enjoyed the all the characters as well as the banter and adventures between Lacee and Park. Fun Christmas Rom-Com and fast moving plot. Steam level is low - kissing only.
Many thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I did not like the voice of the female narrator at all. I don't know what it was, but I couldn't get past that. The male voice was not perfect, but better. As far as the content of the book I thought it was very sloppy and poorly put together. Even for a spy novel, most of it was not believe able and very well thought out. I was excited to listen to this, because I had loved some of her other books. I tried hard to like it, but in the end only could make it about 1/2 way through.

Loved this! I sorta figured it out, but it was still really good. A great twist on a holiday theme. I enjoyed the characters and the action and adventure of it all!

This book was hilarious and thrilling and romantic. The characters are perfect, the setting awesome and the romance well developed.

Perfect holiday read.

Amazing! It was a five-star audiobook read for me. This book is so good I enjoyed every minute! It is hilarious, swoon-worthy, action-packed, and amazing!! The narrators did a fantastic job!

The story was so captivating with its blend of spy intrigue and romantic chemistry. It is masterly written! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading, and I was fully engaged with it and didn’t want to put it down. This book has it all! Romance, hilarious moments, banter, wit, and action are all present and make it nearly impossible to put this book down!
The book gave me ‘Knight and Day’, ‘Mr & Mrs. Smith’, & ‘Mission Impossible’ vibes. Loved it!!

Spending Christmas single was the plan for Lacee until she bumps into a handsome stranger who always seems to be in the right place at the right time. What starts out as a casual holiday fling in her hometown turns into a holiday on the run for their lives where making it home for Christmas is the least of her worries.

This was quite interesting 😂 For this to even make sense I had to suspend my disbelief to enjoy the intense scenes once they came into play 😂 I also figured out the plot twist but loved the explanation about how everything was planned.

I loved that despite the main storyline there were quintessential Christmas activities woven in that Lacee and Park participated in. Those definitely helped tone down the intensity of the story. They had chemistry early on so seeing how it all played out as they tried to uncomplicate their predicament was exciting.

I enjoyed the duet narration on this one 😄 Thank you to Netgalley and Publisher for an ALC in exchange for an honest review.

Rating: 4⭐
Steam level: 1🌶️ Kissing only

Holiday romcom meets Mr. & Mrs. Smith with a bit of Mission Impossible thrown in. This is a campy novel but it's a fun, suspenseful read. Don't take this book too seriously, expect lots of shenanigans and you will have a great time. Spice level is very minimal as there is only kissing. I liked the fast paced storyline, the action and the banter between the two MC's.

Audio narration done by Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington is done well!

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Select | Kortney Keisel for access to the ALC in exchange for an honest review.

I want to start by saying I enjoyed the narration. It was done very well.
This book is a very interesting twist on a holiday romance. It's like Mr. And Mrs. Smith and a Hallmark movie has a baby. There are twists and turns, hilarious side characters and sweet romance. I feel like the book was paced very well and the reveals were well times to keep the reader guessing. This is also set at Christmas time but is not overwhelming with the holiday cheer. It is a fun holiday read for this Christmas season.

Narrators Amanda Friday & Andy Harrington performed wonderfully. I really liked their characterizations and how they brought the story to life.

This is such a fun, wacky holiday romcom. This had everything I hoped it would: action, thrills, romance, humor and great kissing scenes. I had a blast listening to this. Never a dull moment.

I really liked the spy element and thought it brought a unique twist to a holiday romcom. Definitely a fun read!
