The Blonde Identity
by Ally Carter
Genre : Romance, Mystery
Publisher : Avon
A fast-paced, hilarious road trip rom-com about a woman with amnesia
who discovers she's the identical twin sister of a rogue spy... and
must team up with a rugged, grumpy operative to stay alive.
It's the middle of the night in the middle of Paris and a woman just
woke up with no memory.
She only knows three things for certain:
1. She has a splitting headache.
2. The hottest guy she has (probably) ever seen is standing over her,
telling her to run.
And oh yeah...
3. People keep trying to kill her.
She doesn't know who. Or why. But when she sees footage of herself
fighting off a dozen men there's only one explanation: obviously. . .
she's a spy!
Except, according to Mr. Hot Guy, she's not. She's a spy's identical
twin sister.
Too bad the only person who knows she's not the woman they're looking
for is this very grouchy, very sexy, very secret agent who (reluctantly)
agrees to help her disappear.
That's easier said than done when a criminal organization wants you dead
and every intelligence service in the world wants you caught. Luckily,
no one is looking for a pair of lovesick newlyweds on their honeymoon.
And soon they're lying their way across Europe--dodging bullets and
faking kisses as they race to unravel a deadly conspiracy and clear her
sister's name.
But with every secret they uncover, the truth shifts, until she no
longer knows who to trust: the twin she can't remember or the mysterious
man she can't let herself forget...
I've been a fan of Ally's books from the time I read the Gallagher
Girls series during my teens so I was pretty excited about this adult
rom com too!
This one's fast paced and starts off quickly with our FMC waking up in
the middle of Paris with no memories of who she is and how she got
there, and immediately finds herself in danger, with a hot guy telling
her to run. Turns out he's a spy and she's been mistaken for her twin
sister who's also a spy. Now she's being chased by many intelligence
agencies and a Russian gang at the same time. Could her day get worse?
Well yes, it does🤣
I don't think I've read many action/spy rom coms before. Most of my
reads with similar elements were romantic suspense books and so this
one had a lighter feel to it and was very fun(+with lots of tropes). I
also really liked the fact that this one was a dual pov as we get to
see how the protagonist feels along with her love interest - Sawyer
too. Made for a nice grumpy/sunshine pairing without us having to
guess his feelings 😆
There's a lot of action as things keep happening constantly but lots
of hilarious moments at the same time with witty banter. I found the
romance pretty adorable too but I wasn't expecting it to be fade to
black😩 ngl I was a bit disappointed by that😂 Some moments would
require some suspension of disbelief similar to action movies, but
overall I think everything came together very well in the end! And I
hope we get to see Alex's book too after this!
Anyway, I really liked this one and I'd definitely recommend it if
you're looking for a fun, fast paced rom com with equal parts action,
romance and humor!❣️✨
