4 stars!

CIA agent Sydney Swift hasn't been home in 3 years. Wanting to escape her realities, being in the CIA allows her to be anyone but herself. When she gets a call from the FBI wanting her to assist on a case, she never thought it would lead her home for Christmas or have her investigate her sisters fiancé, Johnny, the son of a crime lord who is poised to take over the family business.

In order to saver her unknowing sister from marrying a criminal, Sydney must find out when the next big job Johnny's crew is planning and take him down. When her sister announces they are getting married on Christmas, the clock starts ticking. Sydney needs to gather as much intel as possible so she decides to cozy up to Nick, the head of security for Johnny. What starts as flirting turns into an inferno and Sydney needs to work quickly...but can she also get her own man in the end?

The steamy tension in this book was perfect! Even though it is classified a holiday romance, I enjoyed this book in march! Fun characters (Grandma Ruby!) and the small town settling made this a cozy read and the secret agency aspect made it sexy. I got the anticipation tingles!

Esse é um dos livros mais sem pé nem cabeça que já li. Certas coisas são aceitáveis na ficção quando você está lendo fantasia ou algo do gênero, mas pessoas normais… melhor, uma agente da CIA que descobre que a irmã vai casar com um criminoso e se apaixona pelo guarda-costas do criminoso não faz o menor sentido! Espera-se que agentes da CIA sejam profissionais (é o minimo) mas a Sydney é tudo menos isso. Posso estar sendo chata (e provavelmente estou) mas não gostei muito

I couldn’t quite get into this book. It was fine. It takes place at Christmas, but isn’t very Christmas-y. There is something weird about reading the hallmark version of mobs and CIA agents?
