So here's my review of a fun little romantic who dunnit by Stephanie Bond
Blurb from Goodreads:
A romantic adventure in the spirit of super-cool, super-sexy Agent 007!He wasn’t the man she wanted to trust…
When art curator Kat McKray is wrongly accused of stealing a priceless historical love letter, she has to rely on a sexy British agent to help her—no small feat when she’s his prime suspect. The man is infuriating, but when the stakes turn deadly, it’s nice to have a hard body up against hers…
She wasn’t the woman he expected to fall for…
Former British Agent James Donovan took this assignment to accompany a silly little letter to the States on a lark, but he didn't count on the trouble on the other end in the form of a curvy American temptress who has an alarming amount of secrets--and enemies. He feels bound to protect Kat even when all fingers point to her as the thief…and he has a bad feeling that a bulletproof vest isn't going to protect his heart this time!

Ok so I've read all the reviews and I've read the book. I'm not sure where people are saying that it has all these sexy scenes (yes there were one or two that I can remember that were spelled out but the rest were implied....."The next morning") or that it's trying to be James Bond-ish. People, take this book for what it is, it's a fun romance that tips it hat towards Ian Fleming. The only thing this hero has in common with James Bond is that they are both English and were "super" spies in their time although the author does poke a lot of fun via her characters at her hero and his possible similarities. This is a classic boy meets girl from across the pond. Yes he's English and she's American. Yes, they are totally opposites but isn't that what you love about a good romance story? Not everyone wants to read about beautiful people hooking up but yes, we do love a howt guy! Anywho, this was a fun read with a nice little "who dunnit" in the middle. It's only 100+ pages, so it's not like you're going for a huge novel, buy it, enjoy it for what it is and leave it at that. If you want a quick read that will leave you with a cheesy smile on your face at the end because you know you love a good HEA, then I recommend it.
5 out of 5 books!
