    SYNOPSIS<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

    Known as Agent A, Alice is the top operative within the Agency of Undercover Note Takers, a secret government intelligence group that is fortunately better at espionage than at naming itself. From managing deceptive witches to bored aristocratic ladies, nothing is beyond Alice\u2019s capabilities. She has a steely composure and a plan always up her sleeve (alongside a dagger and an embroidered handkerchief). So when rumors of an assassination plot begin to circulate, she\u2019s immediately assigned to the case.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    But she\u2019s not working alone. Daniel Bixby, otherwise known as Agent B and Alice\u2019s greatest rival, is given the most challenging undercover assignment of his life\u2014 pretending to be Alice\u2019s husband. Together they will assume the identity of a married couple, infiltrate a pirate house party, and foil their unpatriotic plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Determined to remain consummate professionals, Alice and Daniel must ignore the growing attraction between them, especially since acting on it might prove more dangerous than their target.<\/span><\/p>\n

    MY REVIEW<\/u><\/p>\n

    ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I\u2019VE READ IN A LONG WHILE. Best read of the year istg\ud83d\ude2d\ud83d\ude2d. This book gave me everything I\u2019ve wanted from a book in a long while. Good slow burn. Good humour. Actually, they are Interesting Main Characters. Fake Marriage while they are rivals. THIS BOOK HAS EVERYTHING.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Daniel \u201cTouch my books, and you die\u201d Bixby is my favourite guy ever. He\u2019s charming, and the way Alice annoys him IS EVERYTHING TO ME. Daniel \u201cI\u2019m sure you don\u2019t mean to threaten MY WIFE\u201d, Bixby. UGH.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Alice was such a refresher from other female main characters. She can kick your ass, but at the same time, she\u2019s so innocent \ud83d\ude2d it\u2019s honestly entertaining as hell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Another thing I enjoyed about Daniel and Alice was their being neurodivergent. It is always so refreshing when I see characters who have flaws that cannot be corrected from a romance (it has happened in so many books), but you just find someone who understands those flaws, and you just feel you fit and not odd.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The overall plot of this book just added to everything. The side characters, the world-building, everything was immaculate. It\u2019s been a really long while since I\u2019ve read a book with good romance and good humour. This had both of those elements don\u2019t really well which made me enjoy the book even more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    I urge everyone to drop what they are doing and read this book right now because I am obsessed. Overall it’s a really cute romance read with elements of Fantasy and Historical romances so if you’re looking for a fun read this has to be it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
