The Double
by Helena Newbury
emotional
tense
fast-paced
This book is the exact reason I love Helena Newbury’s work and have read most of her books. You always know you’re going to get a great action packed romance from her. Before I started reading her books, I didn’t really know action romance was a genre but she made me fall in love with them!
The plot centres around an FBI agent - Hailey - who has to go undercover to infiltrate a Russian Bratva Boss’s organisation - Konstantin. She does this by having reconstructive plastic surgery and making herself look like Konstantin’s current girlfriend who the FBI picked up after she was in a car accident.
Hailey thinks she knows what she’s getting herself I to, she thinks she knows the bad guys from the good guys, but then she’s absorbed i to that world and she starts to see parts of Konstantin that no one has ever seen before.
The mixture of steamy sexual romance (and this book I’d say is one of helena’s steamier ones), danger, constantly being on the edge of your seat to see if Hailey will be discovered...it’s addictive and brilliant.
I love that there’s quite a few scenes where the romance isn’t shown by someone saying I love you, but by the little things they do for each other, and the actions of the characters.
Highly recommend and personally think it’s her best book!
Steam Rating: UK movie rating 15-18
