ARC Review : Covert Assignment by Missy Marciassa (NA)


Book Blurb

Covert Assignment is a New Adult, Coming of Age Novel with a strong romantic element. Elle is ready for graduation and full-fledged adulthood: no more living like the leftover of her parent’s divorce. She’s about to graduate with her degree in Information Science (the 21st century term for Library Science) and has a ten-year plan as well-designed as any model for analyzing metadata: earn her JD/MBA, enjoy a couple of years as a single professional, then marry her college sweetheart, Adam, and start her own family.

Yet Elle feels like she returned to an alternate universe her final semester. There are pictures of Adam with a classmate who must be surgically enhanced, but he insists he wants Elle. CIA recruiters show up on campus, and they aren’t just interested in recruiting Elle for future employment: turns out she’s already working for them since they’re funding her thesis. Hot operative Preston Raddick is tasked to work with her. Preston isn’t just hot: he’s hot for Elle, but is he offering happy ever after or happy for right now? A fling with Preston could be the beginning of a new life plan, which is exciting and scary, especially with espionage thrown in. Elle needs a predictive model to tell her which decisions have the greater likelihood for happiness…

Covert Assignment is about the unexpected turns life can take when making “adult” decisions.



Toot's Review by Stephanie Silva

If you realized the guy you have been dating for two years was “blowing off some steam” with a gorgeous girl by some pictures that were posted on the internet, would you forgive him?

Every girl on her right mind would send him to hell but…it isn't easy to throw away everything you two had. He understands a part of you no one else does and you were even discussing marrying one day so…is that reason enough to forget the betrayal?

Elle is a strong woman that is trying to find her place in life. After her parent´s and remarriages to other people she feels she is a stranger in their lives. Her father doesn't even pay for her tuition and her mother even gave Elle´s old room to the child she had with her new husband. She lost her family but she thought that Adam and her friends would have her back.

Life is unpredictable, right?

Missy shows us Elle´s struggle to find her place on life.

She is used to order, planning and routine but when Adam betrays her plans were destroyed. This is a story of how a girl realized how strong, intelligent and beautiful and that expanding her horizons isn't always that bad. In fact, it was the key to her happiness.

Did I mention a hot, strong and charming CIA agent was the master mind behind her path toward happiness?

Didn't I?

Well, you would have to read Covert Assignment and find out whats going on in Elle´s life?

3.5 stars :D
