You know… I’m not really sure how this is going to go. It seems like she is going to use and manipulate him. But the flashbacks were so cute. I do quite hope she comes around on the matter. But I guess… spies and enemies to lovers really don’t always mix. Sometimes it’s enemies to emotionally malleable pawns. :(

I wasn’t expecting an enemies to lovers situation in my political intrigue murder mystery spycraft book. But I’m really not mad about it.
I know I should probably not be shipping these two characters together so quickly, but what can I say, I’m a sucker for the trope.

Book continues to scratch the analyze the text itch. I started highlighting for themes, and now it feels kind of wrong not to do that. But also my brain is tired and sometimes I just want a fun little story.
