Synopsis
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:
- She has a splitting headache.
- The hottest guy she has (probably) ever seen is standing over her, telling her to run.
And oh yeah…
- 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…
Recommend to…
if you like stories that are heavily romance/the couple
if you like grumpy man and sunshine woman
The Good
I. The conflict of Sawyer being spy and having a relationship
II. Twists- did not see them coming
III. Hit on elements that usually don’t get hit on with amnesia
The Meh
I. It is heavily romance like 95% and 5% espionage
II. Zoe is kind of annoying and felt childish at times
III. Not connecting with the jokes and overall vibe at times
The Bad
I. Did they build the romance? I ask this when this story was again 95% romance.
II. This feels very cardboard cutout/tropey in terms of characters they came off flat at times
III. I honestly think the execution of the story was not for me. I kept wishing for more espionage/mystery to balance out the story.
Thoughts
A. Blond Identity is a play on The Bourne Identity
B. This would be better as a movie or show?
C. Spent half of this book trying to pinpoint what movie this book is like
