The problem with a freebie short is sometimes you get what you paid for. Saying this, did I like it? Why yes I did. I enjoyed the overall. I found it to be a really quick read but not necessarily what I expected. I didn't really expect a whole lot considering it was so short and a freebie but I have to say regardless of price for something they should let you know that the story is a lead in to another book. We've all read series before where we had lead ins to the next volume but I don't know that was the purpose of this entire short story. I actually liked it for the most part but I was less than pleased with the ending.Being a quickie we are thrown into the story fast which more often than not works for me. This is my escape so I don't worry myself about the realism of how fast bonds and relationships are formed.I found the main characters to be likable and enjoyed the salting of humor. Of course there are the main characters, secret agent Kizzie and a sexy bad guy in Xander but I was really interested in X's cohort Phil Marchande. There's a story in his story somewhere and I'm hoping this comes to light in the future.I was hoping for more sex scenes either at the party or in private but it was enough to titillate me and leave me wanting more which I believe is what this story was all about. There were 2 things I didn't care much for and that was to overdone references to James Bond. The first time was cute, the second smirkable but after that it became annoying to me. The second was the way this ended. I was not aware when I acquired the story that it was a lead in for a series. I wish it was divulged. I would have read it anyway but at least I would have been prepared for the cliffhanger ending. When I read "to be continued" I almost flipped I was so ticked. Back to my usual of having to hunt out the rest of the series so I can see how the hell this wraps up. I did say I was enjoying it!
