Live, Love, Spy

Masters and Mercenaries: New Recruits, Book 2

De: Lexi Blake

Narrado por: Ryan West

Life can be awkward when you're a child genius. For Louisa Ward, that came in the form of meeting her one true love at age twelve--TJ Taggart. But being a year younger and a full year ahead of him in school always made things weird. Working in the CIA has made her into a strong and capable woman. Until she sees TJ. Fifteen years later, she still gets butterflies every time she sees the gorgeous soldier, but she's tired of waiting.

TJ could always see exactly where he wanted to go in life. But joining the Army would require a sacrifice. Since meeting Louisa, TJ knew she was the woman he wanted to spend his life with. But he couldn't ask her to live that life with him. There would be a chance to sweep her off her feet when his time in this dangerous life was done.

On a top-secret mission, TJ's unit is ambushed. As he waits to die, all he can think of is the time he wasted and how badly he wants to be with Lou. He's shocked when his sweet, quiet girl shows up leading a CIA special ops squad to bust him out. Back in Dallas, it's time to claim the woman of his dreams. He has a plan to win her over, until the adversary who almost killed him returns to finish the job.

Contains mature themes.

TJ and Lou

TJ and Lou are finally showing their true feelings for each other as they work on figuring out who is framing him. Listening to Ryan West is always a pleasure.

A soundtrack played in my mind as I listened

Amazing. I laughed, I cried and I felt thoroughly entertained. Somehow a few songs kept playing on repeat in my head as I listened to Ryan West telling this story. 1. Richard Marx: Right Here Waiting. 2. Roxette: It Must Have Been Love. 3. Carly Simon: Nobody Does It Better.
Thank you, Lexi and Ryan. You keep me coming back for more.

This book was like coming home

Lexi Blake is one of my favorite authors and I’ve ready the whole MM series so this book was the emotional equivalent of going home for Christmas. I loved it! The family dynamics, the connection between the MCs and the story line were all excellent! I recommend this book so highly, even without experiencing the older books, but it’s best as a part of the whole wonderful work Lexi has created! ♥️♥️

And things just get crazier......

4.5 Stars 🌟

I'm not even sure what to say anymore. I LOVE this series. We are on the second generation of this wacky "Found Family" of crazy spies and are now dealing with the next generation of "adult" kids. They are just as crazy bonkers as the first gen crew. But luckily for us - we are already in love with every single one of them - so their absolutely crazy, neurotic, bats**t behavior just slides off our backs at this point.

This is seriously a series that I can not explain in a way that would make ANY amount of sense to any one else who is not on this crazy ride with me. I'm not even sure if someone just dropping in to this book as a stand alone would even like this book - when those of us who have been along for EACH of the previous 28 books just are THRILLED the second we see a new entry .......definitely not able to explain the feeling.

About the book - we are deep into another large over arching drama that has a few sub plots between the CIA, MI6, the Australian and the Canadian..... - but we are FINALLY going to find out what the heck is going on with the trio...and WHY the heck Tristan has been MIA for the last couple of years.

Are you confused? Yep, you should be. The kids (well, I guess they're not kids anymore)- Kala, Kenzie, Lou, Connor, TJ,......who am I missing? The ones that are giving Big Tag chest pains.... Well, let's just say that the trio has some 'splaining to do....... and I am extremely interested in what these answers are going to be.

love

the death of Innocent people. That the twins need to keep a secret, I wish they could not live a lie. I love the way all the brothers stick together love the Taggart.
Apostrophe s

Awesome as always

Lexi Never disappoints. I love the way the story has evolved over the years. These characters are their parent’s children and it’s so much fun to read.

Outstanding

After reading the first book in the latest series from Lexi Blake, featuring the children of the original series characters I was excited. I could not wait to read Live, Love, Spy which is TJ Taggart and Louisa (Lous) Ward’s story and what a story it was.
Lou is a genius and now works for the CIA. Growing up was challenging as she was always the youngest in her year since she was gifted and on an accelerated track.
From the time she was 12, she has been in love with TJ but she was not on his radar, or was she? Joining the army, he has no intention of dragging Lou into that life and so he left. When he is captured during a mission gone wrong, TJ knows he has lost his chance of a future with Lou.
Their story was complicated but what a wonderful journey it was as they realised how they felt about one another. The camaraderie, banter and interference from both their families had me smiling, laughing and shaking my head at times.
This was a well written, action-packed romantic suspense story with a good balance of romance and suspense. I was on the edge of my seat whilst reading such is Ms. Blake’s writing, she draws you in and will keep you invested from the first to the last chapter.
Ryan awesome did a stellar job with his narration.

not as amazing as her earlier books but good anyway. just you g person angst

look forward to next book to come out wondering who it will be to hook up next
