I’m a special ops agent, more or less, though I don’t let the government tell me what to do. Private contractor. Part of a gang of women who infiltrate black ops and run riot on the bad guys. There’s one bad guy in particular I’ve had my eye on—Vane Bartow.
Maybe he’s not bad in the classic sense, but he’s certainly bad for me—always stealing my focus. So now I’m going to steal something from him. At least that’s the plan. Until I get caught. Until Vane shows me exactly why he flusters me, fascinates me, and ignites every bit of curiosity—and desire—I have inside.
This had no build-up for the romance. We're told that the characters are interested in each other from afar, and then bam! they're together. They barely speak before they're a couple.
Listened to this on the podcast Read Me Romance. Based on the way this short story is written, this is probably not the right author for me. There was a lot of telling and no real build up before they got together.
Mink's books are honestly cute, fun reads. Short enough to be an excellent palette cleanser between the heavier/darker stuff I read...and they have cats.
