Wilde Undercover
It’s 1993 and parading on Alex Post’s yacht in a little black dress is out of character for middle school teacher Samantha Wilde. But ex-boyfriend and Organized Crime Task Force Detective Dan Anguilo needs her to be his undercover girlfriend for just one night. Once the FBI’s informant, Code name the Baron, shows up, Samantha’s crazy role will be over. But the Baron mysteriously disappears, and Samantha is stuck in her undercover role. Now crucial to the Task Force’s investigation, Samantha is an amateur among professionals, drawn deeper and deeper into the deadly world of the La Sombra del Jaguar drug cartel.
To Task Force Attorney Stuart Birkwell, Samantha is an unfortunate consequence of his botched plan. To the Surveillance Squad she’s BD, the Baby Doll. But to burned-out Detective Bobby Washington she’s smart and a breath of fresh air. When the government’s investigation takes one track, Samantha and Bobby follow their own. Together they discover the truth behind the Baron’s disappearance. But can they convince the Task Force in time to save Samantha’s life?
In the fiery climax, Samantha triumphs for the Task Force and even finds love in an unexpected place. Can she return to the classroom or does a more exciting career await her as an FBI Agent?

Wilde Undercover by J.G. Matheny has a unique premise that immediately grabbed my attention. The idea of a school teacher becoming an undercover FBI agent is creative, fresh, and makes for a fun, engaging read.
The author does an impressive job creating the world and setting the scene. While the descriptive writing adds depth, there were moments when I found myself eager to get back to the main plot.
The suspense builds steadily, and the payoff at the end is fantastic. The climax is thrilling, action-packed, and incredibly satisfying. Overall, Wilde Undercover is an entertaining read with a standout concept and a memorable ending that makes the journey worthwhile.
