Synopsis quoted from Goodreads: "Annie O’Toole has a past....The last time Annie saw Sam, they were lying in each other’s arms beneath a canopy of stars. Now Annie paces a secluded airfield at midnight, awaiting the arrival of an unmarked Navy helicopter. Her assignment: Get this Navy SEAL back into fighting form pronto–and keep his identity a secret. But who’s going to protect her from a man who looks at her as if she were a stranger and who doesn’t remember the one night she’ll never forget?
His name is Sam McKade.
Six foot four inches of tough, trained professional, Sam risked his life in an act of rare courage, saving a busload of schoolchildren from certain death. But becoming America’s newest media hero can be dangerous for a man with an undercover past. Sam could do a lot worse than this secluded beach resort. Ditto the sexy therapist who seems maddeningly familiar–if he only knew where or when. But he’s about to find out–as a dangerous enemy surfaces out of his shadowed past, leaving a trail of bodies right to Annie’s door.
Now the rugged SEAL who doesn’t believe in love or commitment is about to risk everything...because for Sam McKade, protecting this woman, this extraordinary woman, has become the most important mission of his life...."
The 2 Beans Worth: This book has actually turned into something of a mystery all in its own right. I went to find the book so that I could write this review, only to discover it seems to be missing! I have checked my boxes of books to get rid of, my shelves of books to keep, my stack of read but not reviewed, and my to-be-read stacks. It's simply "poofed" from the existence of my house. Hunh. So needless to say, I had to snag my synopsis from Goodreads this time. I'm a little bummed, because I do remember enjoying this book.
My Spy has a little bit of everything for everyone, and it's part of a series so you can stay with the characters a bit. This is a story that's got romance, action, suspense, and humor at times.
The character's interactions are realistic, their personalities are dynamic, and while the military aspect might be a touch outside realistic it's entertaining.
Ha! I just figured out why I can't find it. I checked it out from the library. I was just thinking, "Wait. I know I've read Annie's sister's story, so why don't I have the book...let me check something." I went to Goodreads and looked up the series, and yep, there they were. Hot Pursuit is the next in the series and it's a you-should-read-this-book too.
So, if you haven't heard of or read Christina Skye yet, then I'd recommend you check her out. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Her characters are definitely her strength and she plays to it. So you're in for some fun!
Bonus for you! I never wrote down Hot Pursuit on my list of books read, so you get a 2-for-1 review today. Keep reading for the review of HP.
