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!

I enjoyed this one better than I expected, I was not expecting that twist and I loved it! Moved the plot from a 4 star to a 5 star.
I listened to the audio for this one and I loved it. You have to love Amanda Friday when she's on the audio. She is unique, funny and really gives the reader the best experience. Our male voice wasn't bad either, loved him too, but Amanda really does shin brightly.
The story was great I love a romance suspense, and this did have a romantic feeling and a light suspense, I mean he is a spy! It was a light suspense and light action, so no gruesome stuff, things did fall in place easily - hence the light suspense - but it was still an exciting read.
I absolutely loved the inner thoughts from our characters and how our narrators played them out - it really adds to the experience when they can make you feel what the character is feeling. Although sometimes it was hard to figure out what was an inner voice and what was dialogue being said out loud.
And of course I love all the chemistry the author put in this clean romance. It just comes to show you don't need the spice to get all the feels.

I had no idea that this was going to be such a fun spy novel, with great romantic suspense, when I picked it up! I just knew I really enjoyed the previous book by Keisel that I had read and thought this would be another good one, with a Christmas theme.

I was very pleasantly surprised by all of the twists and turns and the agency involvement, with the very innocent Lacey running into agent Park in a clothing store changing room, thus changing her Christmas and her entire future.

This is a fantastic and unexpected plot and I really loved every minute of the excitement - the surprise twists (I started guessing at certain aspects because I read a lot of thrillers as well as romance, so I had a good idea when the surprise came up), and Keisel did a great job!

I definitely recommend this one to all romance readers who are looking for light romantic suspense but aren’t ready for a real thriller, and enjoy clean, sweet and swoony - kissing only. It’s definitely very well-written, and I’m looking forward to picking up more from her, and more in this Christmas series!

It was narrated by Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington, who both did an absolutely brilliant job. I loved the performance by each of them and really look forward to plenty more books with their names attached. Very well done!

I received an advance listen copy from NetGalley and Dreamscape Select, and this is my honest feedback.

I loved this series of standalones when they came out, and I'm loving rereading them through audio this fall
This is a cute little story about spies and its so silly, quick, and fun

I really enjoyed this one. It was funny and romantic and had lots of mystery and action.
I absolutely loved the witty banter and the long winded conversations Lacee had with Park- they made me laugh.
I was so happy that it was a dual narration! Both narrators were amazing and it made the story so much fun to listen to.
I loved the story, loved the characters and loved the ending.
This would be a really fun movie.

It’s giving Hallmark Channel holiday mystery. And I’m here for it.

I’ve only read one other Kortney Keisel book (Summer Ever After) and this was very much in line with that in terms of tone. Plus a dash of holiday cheer, a sprinkle of humor and a splash of espionage. Fun!

If I’m taking the mystery aspect of this book seriously (I’m not), I should mention the twist is pretty obvious and there are a few glaring plot holes. These things don’t bother me since at its core, this book is a holiday rom com. A cute little love story with lots of flirty banter.

All in all: An action-packed romance filled with sweet moments, silly humor and festive holiday fun.

I recommend this book if you’re into:

Holiday Romance
Clean Romance
Contemporary Romance
Romantic Suspense

3.5 rounded up to 4.

3.5 stars ⭐️ Later On We’ll Conspire is a fun, clean holiday romance. Park is a spy and meets Lacee when she walks in on him in the dressing room. He put a microchip that had sensitive data on it and he had to follow her across the country to get it back. The romance is solid. It is closed door, which was fine. The plot started out interesting became somewhat ridiculous by the end, but still was entertaining. The audiobook was done well. Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington did a good job with the duet narration. It was a quick holiday rom-com. If you like clean rom-coms, you will like Later On We’ll Conspire.

Thank you to Netgalley for an ALC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Later On We'll Conspire by Kortney Keisel is a total blast! If you're craving a mix of spy intrigue and holiday cheer, this book is for you. It's like watching a classic action movie and a Hallmark Christmas special at the same time.

The characters, Park and Lacee, are absolute gems. Park's sweetness is totally swoon-worthy, and Lacee's outrageousness will keep you laughing. Their flirty banter is electric, and you'll be rooting for them from the very beginning.

So, grab a cozy blanket, a cup of hot cocoa, and get ready for a fun-filled adventure with Later On We'll Conspire.

Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington did a great job narrating this audiobook in duet narration. The duet narration added to the fun experience and made you feel a part of the action.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for the ALC of this audiobook. I voluntarily listened and gave my honest review.

I absolutely loved this fun story! Kortney, you know how to write a fun book. I loved the characters, and their journey the story told was so fun. Loved every minute.

Later on We'll Conspire by Kortney Keisel is part of the Christmas Escape series, where each book is authored by a different writer, allowing you to enjoy them in any order. This story offered a refreshing twist on the usual holiday romances. This romantic comedy featured two undercover CIA operatives (Lacee and Park) and was packed with action, adventure of of course, romance.

I've been eager to explore Kortney Kaiser’s works, so I was excited to receive early access to the audiobook. A big thanks to NetGalley, Kortney Kaiser, and Dreamscape Select. The audiobook features dual narration by Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington, which I found really enjoyable.

It was a fun blend of action spy movie and a romcom and what’s not to love about that? And the plot twist?! Didn’t see that one coming at all! Very fun.

Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for approving the request for the audiobook of "Later On We'll Conspire".
3.75 stars
It was my first attempt to try an English audiobook, I hesitated before requesting it because English is not my first language. Still, when I started listening to it, I found it easygoing and fun and I was addicted. I listen to it while commuting to work, night care routine time, washing dishes, or during everyday life chores like I was so hooked, and now I am confident about listening to more audiobooks.
.
I thought it was an ARC before requesting but later on, I realized when I opened Goodreads lol. Reading a Christmas escape book was not on my fall tbr. It was an incident I enjoyed a lot. A huge appreciation for both narrators who made me laugh and smile in public. It was hard to control my expressions sometimes.
.
I didn't like female lead much but it doesn't mean I hate it. The thing is I don't like girls/women drooling over men from the very start or vice versa. this girl was the same and it kicked me a lot stop defining how broad and tanned his abs are. except for that, the storyline is pretty cute and fun to read.

Oh what fun! This cozy Christmas romance was action packed, and I really enjoyed the narrator Amanda Friday. Andy Harrington was good, and I liked his narration as much as I like any romance narrated by Teddy Hamilton.

Keisel hits readers with an avalanche of jokes per minute at the start of this story, and then keeps the (snow)ball rolling with a creative spy plot that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Loved the Leavenworth setting, and had a lot of fun in this kissing-only holiday romp. If readers enjoyed To Have and To Heist, they’ll love this pepperminty (and clean!) audiobook.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Select for the ALC in exchange for my honest review!

This was a super cute Christmas rom-com, with the added fun of espionage! Both Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington did a fantastic job narrating, and I really enjoyed that this was a duet narration instead of the usual dual narration.

I’ll start with the good - the duet narration on this is wonderful!

However, this story isn’t really for me, and the characters and their relationship development really felt incredibly flat to me.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this audio in exchange for my unbiased review!

Newly available on audio, this was an extremely fun holiday romantic suspense from last year's Christmas Escape series. Kortney Keisel is a favorite indie author of mine and this pivot to a kissing only rom com between two undercover CIA operatives was full of romance, action and adventure plus a memorable cast of secondary characters. Everything that I love and have come to expect from Kortney was there in spades. Possibly my favorite in the series and highly recommended if you haven't yet gotten a chance to read this one. Perfect for fans of books like Carlie Walker's The takedown. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review! Read by Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington (two relatively new to me narrators) made for a delightful listening experience!
