OK, first I have to say that I love the premise of this book! I love love LOVE the spy/spook/secret agent man idea add to that my favorite male/male genre and you will have a faithful fan in me! These two guys made me laugh out loud all the way through the book. There was a decent bit of action and the sex scenes were enough to make a really sexy book without being over the top smut. Now for the not so good. The author is repetitive. Seriously, overwhelmingly, annoyingly repetitive. The book would literally be HALF the length it is if she would just tell the freaking story once and get on with it. Every scene, every bit of dialog, every thought is written at least twice (from each man's point of view)if not 4 and 5 times. Now some may like this style but I found it tedious and I ended up skimming half the book. Like I said, I loved the idea...liked the plot....really loved the characters and setting .... but the execution left me with a headache. This is the first in a series (the second "Not My Spook" was JUST a good story wise and JUST as tedious to read lol) ..... Usually when I like a book as much as I liked this one, I would automatically begin a reread. Not sure I will be able to do that with this one. I will definitely continue to buy the books as they become available and I will cheer Quinn and Mark on during their journey but I will continue to hope and pray that the author takes a look at how annoying it is to read, reread and reread AGAIN the same thing OVER and OVER .....
