Good thing I did not pay for this!!!!! I would be angry. Bottom line- cheesy novel about a spy on the last day of his assignment. Spy meets con artist.... they get the bad guy have sex and go off into the friendly skies. YICK- oh double YICK!!!!!!
I was disappointed because what this book really was was the final chapters of a much longer, much more detailed spy novel. But this was just like, okay, we found the bad guy, now let's arrest him. Oh, and let's fall madly in love with the con artist who's conning him. The end. I just think it could have been so much MORE.
Twas alright. A spy's last mission and he meets the girl of his dreams. The get the bad guys and ride off into the sunset.
I am glad I read the first book in the series before I discovered this. This short story is good for what it is. I found it to be entertaining and lighthearted, but not as satisfying as the novels.
Ms. Johnson tells a much stronger story when she has the word count to flesh out the characters. However, it was a nice introduction and I was not too disappointed in it.

This would have been great if it was just a short prologue to the first book in the series instead of being its own book.
