PAULA'S REVIEW
Ever since I learned about the Amber Room that was dismantled during the threat of WWII, my interest is piqued when it crops up in a story I am reading. This book has a interesting new slant on the mystery of WWII artifacts and the entities who are after them.
This writing duo has offered a suspenseful, intriguing scenario involving a rabbit statue and everyone from the FBI to a Russian organization is after it.
The FBI agents Kira and Bryce are going undercover as a married couple to try to get into a secret auction covertly selling stolen art. The characters are thrown into dangerous situations but the authors make it so believable and quite adventurous. “Things just went from impossibly bad to apocalyptic in one second.”
I enjoyed the relationship between Kira and Bryce because they are attracted to each other and have to pretend be married but at the same time they must focus on being professional. A key element is how their backgrounds play into their present circumstances. For Kira, it is a spiritual awakening and Bryce has to follow through in his faith to be able to forgive.
This is a brilliant start to a new series by fantastic collaboration.
*A complimentary copy of this book was provided by Revell through NetGalley. I was not required to post a favorable review. All opinions are mine. 5 stars and a solid faith thread
BackCover Blurb:
Special Agent Kira Miller's new career at the FBI has started--in translations. It's not the opportunity she was hoping for to show off her skills, until she detects a lead in some paperwork. Now assigned an undercover role, she's in her element as she gathers intel on an art smuggling ring. She's daunted not by the mission but by her cover--posing as a married woman to the fake husband she met less than twenty-four hours earlier.
Special Agent Bryce Lambert's assignment to go undercover as a newlywed couple with Kira has the two of them moving next door to the prime suspects, and a relationship is the last thing he wants, fake or real. With secret auctions and hidden treasures, there's plenty to keep them busy--if only they can play the part their lives and careers depend upon while keeping their own hearts in check.
Romantic suspense novelists Lynette Eason and Kelly Underwood collaborate in this fast-paced, clean thriller delivering fake-dating tension, forced proximity, and FBI intrigue--perfect for fans of Elizabeth Goddard, Irene Hannon, Dani Pettrey, and edge-of-your-seat reads.
