***3 Stars***
I really wanted to like this book more than I did but I think what seems a clever title actually took away some of the enjoyment of reading this book as I already had a preconceived idea of what was to unfold. ...
Fisher is an undercover operative stationed in London living somewhat of a double life, he and Zach we are told are in a happy relationship following what Fisher intended to be a one-night stand in London pub. And again this is where this book fell down for me, I would have much preferred to have seen a chapter of the relationship between them both prior to the events that revealed their true identities as I believe that would have made the shock factor far more for the reader rather than just the character.
I liked the characters Fisher and Zach and their moments together were enjoyable, I enjoyed seeing Fisher fight with his emotions at the betrayal. And some good side characters too. However, as I say with the preconceived idea of the story I felt I was reading the action scenes by rote.
This was a new author for me and I will look at her other work as the quality of writing wasn’t bad just a shame this one fell a little short for me.
