There were a number of things I couldn’t get into about this book.

1. It’s about spies, which just isn’t my thing but definitely check it out if you like that.

2. I didn’t feel the flow of attraction. The first scene they meet each other, a friend is seriously injured and the hero goes from interrogating her to wanting her badly. Yet his words and actions come off as totally chauvinistic and conceited. The kisses were hot but I didn’t feel what led them there. It just seemed random.

3. I could NOT STAND how the heroine moped about her dead husband most of the book. I think there’s a way to have a widow that loved her husband but this wasn’t it. He’s been dead for 5 years and I had to read paragraph upon paragraph about how she can’t dance, go to balls, wear color, look at men, leave the house because it was an offense to her dead husband. 🙄 I appreciate appropriate grief and I think sometimes romances can skip that and just further the relationship superficially but it was just a hinderance to the whole story and relationship.
