Eagle Eye
Could one little mistake derail everything she’s worked for?
Undercover journalist, Cameron Phillips, is known for his forthright exposé articles uncovering scandals of New York City’s rich and famous. Using the pseudonym Eagle Eye to hide his identity, he is free to wield his finger pointing, no-holds-barred articles at leisure.
Jillian Jeffrey, teen fashion industry’s latest darling, has a heart for the less fortunate. Her goal is to raise enough money for fashion icon Anna Delany’s, Like No Other charity foundation. The donation will not only keep the charity afloat, but will place Jill in the running for a coveted position on LNO’s board of directors.
In a moment of weakness, at the charity gala, Jill reluctantly accepts a bet from her ex-boyfriend and uses a homeless man to raise twenty thousand dollars. Unknown to Jill, the homeless guy is the cynical, undercover journalist, and Jill has just become his latest exposé target.
In a twist of fate, Cameron is soon hired to shadow Jill as she volunteers with the charity. Shorthaired and clean-shaven, he looks nothing like the bearded, disheveled man Jill had encountered the night of the gala. During their time together, he not only discovers the noble reason behind the bet, but witnesses first hand his article’s negative impact on her business. Faced with the prospect of losing her, will Cameron come up with an antidote for Eagle Eye’s toxic exposé before Jill loses everything she’s worked for?

Romance, especially by most popular contemporary writers is as far from my radar as two geographical poles are from each other, but this week I've found I need a sweet love story fix so I am binge reading the genre but only carefully selected titles.
As far as romance goes, I love the movie You've got mail and this is the benchmark of what I may enjoy in a romcom book. I think I like sweet, sappy and happy love stories with fun plots and likeable characters and this one is only the second story I've found that caught my attention and that ticks the boxes I like.
A fun love story, with a fun mistaken identities premise and heart. A biting judgmental reporter goes under cover as homeless to write a piece on it and meets a girl with a generous heart but mistakes her for a cynical socialite and when he writes an article that includes her, he just might have got into more than he bargained for. But over time, he discovers that he just may have been totally wrong. Jill has such a sunny, cute disposition, it was difficult not to like her, she also does a good job with her teenage fashion business. I liked Cam's progress too, very much. I liked seeing him realise what a fool he has been and admit to it. The plot in that respect of conflict was really engaging for me. Jill has a mind of her own, though she might assume too much sometimes and I felt she was very compatible with Cam, I enjoyed their dynamic. The anticipation here related to how the conflict will be resolved.
I found it immersive; it was a very easy read and I finished it in just over 3 very pleasant, relaxing hours. I liked the writer's explanation at the start, what prompted this one. It's sweet, cosy and warm.

Designer of teen fashion, Jillian Jeffrey, is on the cusp of making a name for herself in the NYC fashion scene- a dream that could easily become a reality with a seat on the board of directors for her favorite charity, Like No Other. With a heart for serving the less fortunate, Jill can think of nothing more fulfilling than combining her two passions into one. When an unexpected opportunity arises for her to raise a significant amount of funds for the organization, and gain a better shot at the position, she jumps at it- unaware that the mistake she’s about to make will put her at risk of losing everything she’s ever worked for…
Cameron Phillips is an investigative journalist writing candid exposés under the pseudonym Eagle Eye. While working undercover gathering information on New York City’s homeless, he finds himself at the receiving end of a humiliating bet- and at the hand of a young fashion designer no less. Not to be bested, he gets his revenge in his latest exposé. But when his next job has him shadowing his latest victim, Cam realizes he made a huge mistake, and the painful consequences of his article may be farther reaching than he anticipated. Can he right his wrong before it’s too late? And more importantly, will the girl of his dreams ever forgive him for hurting her so deeply?
Romance fans look out! Author Darcy Flynn knocks it out of the park in this second installment of her Like No Other series. Richly drawn characters and a moving story about the places where human struggle and compassion collide form the backbone of this fantastic book, along with a well-paced plot that gathers in intensity and holds you in suspense until the end. While swapping between perspectives of Jill and Cameron, readers are also offered a thoughtful and compassionate look into the troubling issues of homelessness and teen runaways, as well as the exciting world of fashion, and inspirational volunteer work. Smart, original, and emotionally engaging, Eagle Eye is a memorable read that is sure to please. If you are a fan of clean romance with a compelling story, you’ll love this book!

-"“If that’s the case, I dare you to try one of your schemes with, let’s say… that guy over there.” He pointed to a man on the corner who was holding a sign that read, ‘Homeless Will Work for Food.’...
“Get him to go out with you.” He gave her the once-over. “Dressed like that.”...
Just get him to go back to the hotel ballroom with you for a little while—let’s say for an hour. That shouldn’t be too difficult for you. I mean, look at the guy. He’s shivering in his shoes, and by the looks of him, could use a hot meal.”...
Con the guy.”...
...-“What makes you think I’d even contemplate using that poor man for your personal entertainment?”
- “Because, I’ll donate ten-thousand dollars to any cause you want.”-
I was drawn in by the original plot of this story. An investigative reporter goes undercover to write a piece on the homeless and a misunderstanding might cost a young fashion designer her entire career as a result. People are rarely one hundred percent who we imagine they are. Judging a person by their social status or their wealth (or lack of it) can sometimes have disastrous results.
Once again, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this story by this very gifted author. It is a stand-alone novella, although there are some brief mentions of characters from the previous book. It is a clean romance. Very well written with a mature voice and a plot that kept my attention throughout. I got so into the storyline that, at one point, I found myself crying when things started to fall apart for the main character. I highly recommend this book.

Unlike Darcy Flynn's lighter romances set in idyllic rural areas, Eagle Eye takes place in the cutthroat New York fashion scene, and the main characters go into some really shady areas of the city. But Darcy proves herself capable of the challenge, and this story packs as much of an emotional punch as all Darcy’s other books. I had a hard time putting this book down.
