REBECCA'S REVIEW:
"Newsflash, 007 - I don't need rescuing. Not from coffee, produce or a charming billionaire."
Embedded deep into the world of powerful real estate moguls, independently contracted Cybil Langford is assigned to surveil one of the most ruthless crime bosses on the planet, Lorenzo Ramirez. And everything was going so well until she slipped into the toilet trying to retrieve what every spy wears, all black . . . and! . . . she comes face to face (in the dark) with her childhood nemesis-turned-crush, Ben Bradley, who is for some unknown reason calls himself Craig Miller, the name of her let's-forget-all-about-him-forever boyfriend. Ben is gong to ruin everything!
Cybil is going to ruin everything! F. B. I. Agent Ben Bradley is on the hunt to take down the criminal network responsible for the death of a federal agent. What he catches however, is the hem of a very lovely dress wrapped around a very lovely lady shooting darts out of her eyes as if she can tell Ben what to do without speaking a word. Actually, maybe she can.
What a fun story! The clever dialogue is superb and flies back and forth like tennis ball in a game where neither player knows the rules. Cybil and Ben have a past, and in spite of going years without seeing each other, this second chance rom-com with a heavy dose of crime-cute between two undercover agents, sizzles from beginning to end. In spite of getting a little lost at times with the details of the financial transactions, I loved the depth of emotions and hilarious antics that Ben and Cybil brought to the story. Readers who love humor infused suspense will be clamoring for more!

BackCover Blurb:
They were each other's first love. Now they might be each other's last hope. Perfect for fans of Ally Carter, Spies, Lies, and Alibis is an unputdownable binge-fest, full of laughs, heart, and mischief.
Cybil
Langford has spent years hiding behind her polished, professional
facade as the executive assistant to a powerful real estate mogul, where
she's perfectly positioned to collect intel on her boss's criminal
network. But when her mission leads her into the path of Lorenzo
Ramirez--a ruthless crime boss with deadly plans--she'll need every
ounce of cunning and charm to stay one step ahead.
Then he walks back into her life.
Ben
Bradley is deep undercover for the FBI, living under an alias, as a
financial advisor with a reputation for helping the wealthy and corrupt
launder their money. His target? Lorenzo Ramirez, a dangerous crime boss
with his hands in everything from smuggling to murder. But when a
familiar face from his past suddenly reappears, things get . . .
complicated.
The last time Cybil saw Ben, he was an annoying
prankster--and her first crush. The last time Ben saw Cybil, she stole a
piece of his heart. Neither expected to run into each other at a
high-stakes fundraising gala where crime, corruption, and undercover
agendas collide.
Forced to work dangerously close, neither knows
the other's true agenda. Cybil sees the boy who once broke her heart,
now a man whose motives are deeply suspect. Ben sees the woman he never
got over but can't determine if she's an innocent caught in the
crossfire or a willing accomplice. As they navigate a world of spies,
lies, and fragile alibis, they must dismantle the walls around their
hearts.
The intel is classified. The trust is fragile. And their covers are one lie away from blowing wide open.
Dive
into a hilarious, fast-paced romantic suspense that balances danger
with wit and charm. Early readers are loving the gripping twists,
engaging humor, and clean, chemistry-filled romance that make Spies, Lies, and Alibis
such a fun, page-turning ride. Grab your copy today for a story packed
with intrigue, heart, and just the right amount of sass.
