Texas Confidential #5

The Secretary Gets Her Man

The covert agency's newest operative is about to get her man!

The Agent: Penny Archer, former teenage bookworm, lately of the Texas Confidential secret agency, had finally come home to settle a score.

Sheriff Joe Colter, the most popular boy in high school, was now the local law. He'd never forgotten Penny - or how he'd once crushed her girlhood fantasy.

The Mission: Coming back to her hometown had only one appeal: show Joe Colter the woman she'd become! Trouble was, she hadn't realized he could still make her feel things she had long forgotten: anticipation, desire...and completion. Suddenly Texas Confidential's most resourceful agent was under heavy fire and in danger - of losing her heart!

What fun

I enjoyed this sweetly written story, Penny and Joe what a pair. I loved Penny she’s strong, sassy, smart, and utterly adorable. There was just enough mystery to keep me guessing. As usual it’s the love story that stands out. I have enjoyed all of Ms. Neff’s books that I have read and I’m sure will read.

1.5/5 STARS! This was mainly sex with a side of some mystery that the characters really did not seem to care about. I wanted more of the conflict, less of the romance. Also, hate her leaving her career behind. Did not fit Pennys storylines imo.

I liked the premise. After the promising beginning I soon lost the interest and DNF the story.

Unlike the other books in this series this book was heavy on the sex and light on the suspense. Very disappointing.
