**Originally written for Book Bliss book blog. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 3.5 starsGeneral: Please not that this is not the first book with these characters and while it is readable I recommend seeking out their first book together to fully understand this one. Not having done so myself my biggest critique of this novella is that I had no connection to the characters for a very long time. Yes, things were explained so I could logically catch up but there were very little characterization moments which took me awhile to get into the book because of. Also, there were some moments that were strange grammatically and I could not tell if it was a time period device or something off in editing as it wasn't during dialogue or inner thought but description.Aside from that this novella really was good. I enjoyed the idea behind Nemesis tremendously and fully intend to read more in this series. You don't often read a good spy agency book when all the cool tech gear isn't present and this one still was. Also, despite me not connecting with the characters, the connection between Ada and Michael was steamy!Characters: Ada- Ada is a little bit lost in her mind in this novella. She has been through changes and is neither here nor there with her thoughts on anything except her feelings for Michael until the end of the book. I did enjoy her once I got passed not knowing much about her. Her transformation was apparent even though I didn't fully know her and I think that is a great accomplishment. Plus the heat between her and Michael was more than enough to push me forward.Michael- Michael was also sparse in info but felt a little more developed than Ada but had no growth- which is totally fine. Michael starts the book helplessly in love and finishes it there as well. The scenes narrated from him were for me far more interesting and I'm glad he got his happy ending.
