Thank you to the author and NetGalley for a copy of this audiobook! I enjoyed the narrator(s) of this audiobook overall, but struggled to connect with the characters and didn’t feel the chemistry between them that I would hope from rom-com.
I was glad I read this, but it wasn’t overly memorable to me either.

OK, this book is over the top implausible, but hear me out. Sassy characters, spy stuff, assassins, fighting, conspiracy, double agents, treason... and a PG-rated romance full of Christmas. I'm struggling to put into words that this book was nutter than a fruitcake, ridiculously cheesy, and I truly enjoyed it. Every bit of it pleasantly surprised me.

This was such a fun read to kick off November and holiday season! The narrator amplified the story and was wonderful. Who doesn’t love spies?! But also this book had mr laughing out loud at multiple points.

“I love you too. All versions of you.”

Later On We'll Conspire by Kortney Keisel
A Christmas Spy Rom-Com?
Yes Please! Okay, I admit, I went into this totally blind, only knowing who the author was, and that it was part of a multi-author series, and that it is a Christmas book. I was so pleasantly surprised when I got into it and discovered, not only is it all of those things, but also a spy rom-com, one of my newest obsessions. 
First off, the meet-cute was hilarious, and very wow! Kortney is the queen of the best meet-cutes.
I loved so many aspects of this one. The spy aspects kept this one moving at a fast-pace, some of the big plot twists were so great (though I used my great sleuthing skills and predicted the biggest one). No spoilers here, so I am not going to say anything else about that.
I really enjoyed the fact that Christmas was a big part of this, from the expletives like "Jingle Bells!" to gingerbread making, and many more parts, made for such a fun read/listen.
The chemistry between Lacey and Park was so off the charts.
I felt so bad for Park as he explained his back story. So sad!
I definitely recommend this one. Made for a fun, adventurous, Holiday read!
Audio Thoughts: I always enjoy a book where Andy Harrington and Amanda Friday are the narrators. They always do such a wonderful job on dual narration, and this one was no exception.
My Favorite Parts:
Meet Cute
Making Gingerbread houses
First kiss
Spy Rom-Com
Their banter and chemistry

Thank you to Netgalley and publisher for the review copy. All thoughts are my own.

Words cannot describe how I am feeling write now so let’s go with emoji: 🤯😂😂😭😳🎄🫶🫶🤭🤭🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️😭😭🤯🎄🎄🤭🤭🥹🥹💀💀🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♂️🤯🫶🎄🥹🥹😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This book!!!! Oh my goodness I love this book! I read this book when it first came out a few years and it was a four star but listening to it this year it was a solid five! The narrators are perfect for this book and I could stop listening to it!

A must listen this holiday season!

Thank you NetGalley and Kortney for a copy of this book to listen and review.

Lacee is heading home for the holidays when she bumped into international spy, Park Bradshaw. Now they are spending Christmas together. Although, I kind of figured out all the twists and turns, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book and would recommend it if you're looking for a holiday romance with action.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

It's November 1 so I can officially review a Christmas book, lol. This one didn't have too much of a holiday feel, but it was a fun story. It was my first Kortney Keisel book and I have since read one more. I didn't love the narrator as much as other books I've listened to, but, the story kept me interested and I enjoyed the characters and seeing what was going to happen. I thought I had maybe figured out the plot twist and I was happy when it was confirmed. If you like spy stories, this is for you. So glad I had the chance to read an ARC of this book. Thank you NetGalley. So glad I could find a new author to read!

I had to turn the volume down on this book because the female narrator sounded like she was shouting every single word. Aside from that, this was a cute story. I liked the spy, adventure part of the story. It was a bit far-fetched but fun! I would recommend the physical book if you want to read this story.

A fun and light reading full of banter, Christmas, family, friendship and a touch of suspense. Park and Lacee are great together even while lying to each other to achieve their goals. The dual narration from Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington makes the audiobook very interesting

This audiobook is if Die Hard and an Hallmark movie were to have a baby!

I read this book last year when it first came out and absolutely loved it! So when I had the opportunity to listen to it I jumped on it and it DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT!

I love the meet cute between Lacee and Park in the department store and just all the hijinx that ensues between the two of them throughout the book. Their banter puts a smile on my face and a giggle on my lips. When my husband asks me why I'm giggling while I'm listening while doing the dishes, I know it's a good book!

This story is action packed and the narrators do a great job keeping the intensity while still giving us great banter and laugh worthy moments. I love duet narration and Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington are fantastic at delivering their lines. I can't recommend this audiobook enough!

Later On We’ll Conspire by Kourtney Keisel
Contemporary romantic suspense. Dual POV. Closed door.
Lacee is going home to her parents for the holidays. Having a handsome and fun man along for the ride is unexpected and apparently a bit dangerous. He says his mother lives in the same small town and since her rental car from the airport is somehow cancelled, her only option is to accept his ride offer. But there seems to be some strange men following Park.

🎧 I listened to an audiobook version narrated by Amanda Friday and Andy Harrington. This is an interactive pairing of voices instead of chapter specific so the performance is almost like a conversation. It’s the ultimate dual narration. Both do a fantastic job with their person as well as narrating to the audience. Playing off each other was especially fun with the two voices.
I listened at my usual speed of 1.5 and still feel that because it matches reading and conversational levels, that I didn’t miss anything.

The mystery and spy games were fun and since Lacee had so many active and physically demanding hobbies we know that she would be good at spy games. And she clearly is even when caught up in the madness that seems to follow Park.
I really liked Park’s honor of protecting and trying to help his partner. He’s a good guy and it shows.
The banter was over the top humerus and the innuendo entertaining. It’s a fast read as situations closely followed each other without lags.
A light hearted spy game holiday romance.

I received a copy of this from NetGalley and Dreamscape Select.

This book has me laughing out loud. However for some reason it feels like something is missing. I didn't hate this book but it wasn't my favorite either

Later On We’ll Conspire by Korney Keisel is a unique holiday romance that will have you laughing through all the antics.

Park Bradshaw is a CIA operative who has received his next mission from his close friend and parent asking for help. He needs to locate two microchips that contain invaluable information and deliver them to his partner. His plan is moving along until Lacee Warren enters the picture and gets tangled up in the mission. Park and Lacee have instant chemistry and don’t mind having to spend a few extra days together for the holidays.

The pacing of this story is fast and you don’t know what is coming next. The characters were fun and had an easy banter that made it easy to root for them. They are able to keep things light and humorous even with some intense moments.

There were a few moments where the plot dragged, but it didn’t last too long.

Listening to this book the narrators did a great job at bringing Park and Lacee to life.

If you are in the mood for a fun, silly, and action-filled holiday romance this is the book for you!

Thank you to Netgalley, Dreamscape Select, and Kortney Keisel for my gifted ALC in exchange for an honest review.

This is hard to rate because I mostly liked the book. There are a few weird plot choices but once we get to the twist I kind of lost it. The twist was obvious (but also weirdly written leading up to it) but the MMC response to it felt really misogynistic at times and was really off putting and out of the blue. It just felt like craming a square peg in a round hole at this point.

But, again, I was entertained just raised my ey brows one too many times.

Kortney Keisel is one of my favorite romcom writers and I LOVED listening to this favorite narrated by Andy Harrington and Amanda Friday–they are definite favorites! I love the way they read the characters and bring them to life with humor, wit, and swoon. I fell in love all over again with this holiday gem.

A jolting, crackling kiss on an escalator. An instant attraction interlaced with danger. A cross-country trip that will swoon your fuzzy socks off. This story was all that I hoped for and more!

This is not only a Christmas romcom, with all the swoon and laughs, but also a stunning and romantic suspense/spy story. Give me all the melty marshmallows in my mug of hot chocolate!

These lovable and capricious characters, Park and Lacee, were so perfect in the way they bantered, engaged, and "kissed their way through the holidays." I couldn't get enough of them and their unpredictable situation. I went through all the emotions, including twists and turns that left me breathless.

I won't forget this holiday escape and I loved every single second of it!

The narration was great, Im not a fan of duet narration, but this was one I enjoyed. The narrators did a great job with bringing these 2 people to life.

Cute but the graphic death threw me off on a cute holiday read 

🔫 closed door 
🔫 CIA operative

Thank you for this ALC!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

👩🏻‍🦰It’s like I’ve died and gone to hot redhead heaven.

😍With Lacee, I want to be a gentleman.

Unfortunately, this was a miss for me. The fact that the plot was so obvious was the biggest issue I had. I knew the ending very early on. The only redeeming part of the end was Mrs. Bradford‘s performance, it was great. Park had botched his undercover job and was now assigned random jobs. The cute meet with Lacee could have been funny, if Park had not been in his underwear. Which we find him in said attire on multiple occasions. This book is labeled as a closed door, sizzling satire, but I thought they pushed the boundaries on too many instances. I thought both characters, all though supposedly professional spies for the government, were childish and immature in their speech and their mannerisms. As far as the narrators, the male narrator was tolerable, but the female narrator was very nasally, and they were not synced at the right speed in my opinion. So sadly, I would not recommend this book. If you are a fan of satire maybe you would enjoy it. I did read most of the others in the series and enjoyed the majority of them. I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
