Night Magic by Karen Robards
3.0

WELL that was certainly a book I read (picked it up on sale). It is definitely of the time it was written (late 1980s) so do expect a complete jackass 'hero' who loves to tell the heroine to drop some weight and other similar gems. Definitely gave me Moonlighting vibes now that I've seen some episodes of that.

That said, I wasn't bored? per se? The story centers on a spy who is on the run from evil Russians who have beat him up very badly, and then the romance author who they think is his lover because she dedicates her latest novel to "Puff" which is his code name LMAO.

This is so OTT and so very violent, lots of "on the run" and danger bang vibes, but definitely light on the "oh yes, this is romantic and I see why they love each other" points.

Definitely reminds me of Annie from Speed saying "Relationships that start under intense circumstances never last." LMAO
