This was an awesome romantic comedy that felt like a Hallmark Movie! There's action, adventure, and falling in love!

I loved the relationship between Jace and Mackenzie! Their serendipitous meet cute was swoon worthy! Their banter was well written! I loved that this book is duel POVs!

I listened to the audiobook and I enjoyed the performances by Hallie Bee Bard and Rusty Mewha.

A 5 🌟 read 🎧 for me
A enteraining audiobook that has hooked me into reading the next two books in the series. This is a clean, easy read that draws you in because of the personalities of the characters and the clever bantering and dialogue throughout the book. The characters are likable and easy to get to know. The plot was fun, light, and entertaining! I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. #SpiesDontFallforTheirAsset #NetGalley #dreamscapemedia

This was a cute book that definitely appeals to the spies lovers. He's a spy and she accidently becomes an asset. There are a lot of moments that are definitely too coincidental and a little cheesy but overall it was a sweet read and a lovely audiobook.

This was a cute fluffy spy read. It’s more of a romcom than a spy novel but it’s endearing. It reminds me of Hallmark did spy stories.. oh wait.. it would fit on Hallmark Movies and mysteries a bit!


I am thankful to have gotten the ALC for free from Dreamscape Media through NetGalley to read which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.

This book came out in the summer of 2023 but the audiobook is being launched on January 21,2025 which is why the ALC.

The narrator’s Hallie Bee Bart and Rusty Mewha did a good job with the recitation and thankfully spoke at a natural pace for 1x speed. Hallie’s voice was a bit high pitched which gets a bit much and makes the FMC seem much younger than she is.

As for the story is was fluffy as i said above. A lot of suspension of disbelief is needed for the spy angle but that’s ok as it’s a romcom. It was enjoyable enough that I put the other books in the series (interconnected standalone) on my TBR when I need a palate cleanser.

My rating system since GoodReads doesn’t have partial stars and I rarely round up.

⭐️ Hated it
⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, really not my cup of tea (potentially DNF’d or thought about it)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but nothing special
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed it! Would recommend to others
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! Will circle back and read again

Didn’t love it. Didn’t hate it. Was very meh about it and didn’t care much for the main characters. Loved the narrator though

This romantic comedy was a lot of fun and really exciting! My attention was held on the edge of my seat by this captivating, fast-paced, and exciting mystery plot!

I adored Jace's strong protection and his status as the epitome of a swoon-worthy spy. He treats Mackenzie with such sweetness, and I adore that we get to meet his wonderful family, who will soon have their own stories!

Mackenzie is the epitome of sunshine and happiness, and I loved that she’s pushing herself to venture beyond her comfort zone.

I really enjoyed this book. It's a great mix of romance, comedy, and suspense. And of course, there's a happy ever after.

The audiobook version makes the story even more enjoyable. The soothing voices of narrators Hallie Bee Bard and Rusty Mewha really bring the characters to life. Hallie’s warm voice perfectly captures Mackenzie’s bright and cheerful personality, making her journey feel relatable and fun. Rusty’s smooth narration adds charm to Jace, pulling you into his world as a swoon-worthy spy. Together, their performances create a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re right there with Mackenzie and Jace on their exciting adventure. Whether you’re driving or relaxing at home, listening to this audiobook is a delightful escape filled with laughter and heartwarming moments.

I truly liked going on this crazy adventure with MacKenzie and Jace!

🎧 Audiobook Review 🎧

Thank you NetGalley for the audio ARC
4 ⭐️ stars

The audio version of this book is good. It has dual narration which is my favorite when it comes to audiobooks. The female and male narrators do a very good job at embodying the characters in the book.

The story was cute I love a forced relationship turned into a real relationship story.

Would recommend to others and buy a physical copy of this book.
