"Red Rover, Red Rover" by Perry Elisabeth Kirkpatrick

About this book:

  “He's a spy, and he needs her help...

   Emily Abbott is working hard as a coffee barista in downtown Phoenix, keeping one eye on her tiny college fund and the other on the mysterious new guy with his profound lack of coffee-making skills.

   Just when she thinks they might be getting the hang of working together, she's abruptly thrust into his world of espionage and danger. Brent Peterson needs her help to keep Red Rover safe and the information he carries out of the wrong hands. But she's just a barista—what can she do?

   Much more than she thinks.”

My personal Rating-

I’ve had this book my TBR for a while due to hearing some book friends rave about the series and this first book was quite fun! Was it realistic? No, probably not, but it’s a fictional spy agency, so who’s to say it can’t be that way? (I would have preferred a mention of someone flipping other another not have been mentioned, but elsewise, it was quite clean.) I smiled a lot during this short story and am definitely interested in reading the rest of the series.
