Pyrotechnics engineer (a.k.a. fireworks designer) Andee Paxton has always been told that her biological father was a famous actor. When she decides to take a DNA test, she’s surprised by the results. Her dad is famous, but he’s not an actor. Those who read the first book in this series will remember criminal mastermind Holt. He’s back, and this time, he’s the heroine’s father and has escaped prison. The CIA wants to use Andee as bait in order to catch Holt. Enter Officer Adam Chan. Before they can execute the CIA’s plan, Holt kidnaps Andee and Chan. Soon, lines are blurred, and their fake relationship is starting to look like it might have promise. Between all the flirting, they’re racing to stop Holt and save the world. Though this can be read as a stand-alone novel, those who enjoyed The Spy and I will be happy that Adam’s getting his own story. Two unique main characters (a heroine in the engineering field and a hero with hearing loss) only add to the appeal of the story.
VERDICT This second book in Smith’s “My Spy” series has it all: romance, intrigue, mistaken identity, and a race against time.
