Eeeeeeep!!!!! How did I ever survive this long without a new Emily Abbott book?!? As usual, this was just...fantastic. <3
Brent! What on earth!?! You really, really, really need to take care of yourself better than that. *glares* Also, the coming-off-sedation thing... *bursts into barely suppressed giggles all over again* And Emily, still managing to be totally off-the-cuff incredible while juggling concern and uncertainty and "wow, this is so cool" reactions...along with pulling off the most hilariously annoying undercover persona ever and managing to keep more than your average number of secrets from a whole range of people, including a super-perky and sweet best friend who can't be blamed for not knowing she's on a spy mission... Was that non-sentence long enough? Because I could definitely make it go longer. ;) Also, for my ongoing list of "how to be an accidental spy" tips, where do I pick up a useful family friend/random contact like Rash? (Seriously, though, he was awesome! I really hope we'll see him again sometime. :D) And I really enjoyed getting to see a bit more of Santa...and a little behind that cool exterior... <3<3
Of course, Brent's protectiveness over Emily's part in the mission was to die for, albeit with a little different flavor than normal, since she gets to be rather protective herself for once. And the chemistry between them is just so, so perfect... I honestly think I ship these two harder than the leads in a lot of romances I've read! XP And now I really, really want to know what's going to come out of the epilogue! I already can't wait for the next book! <3<3<3
