Spies Don't Fall for Their Neighbor by Meg Easton: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 

The Book

It started with a water leak. It spiraled into spy-level chaos.

In my defense, I wasn’t trying to spy on Owen. I was just curious about the handsome, tool-belt-wearing guy with the easy smile and perfectly scruffy face who moved into the townhome next door. But then a water line breaks, the wall between my kitchen and Owen’s gets taken down, and suddenly I’m experiencing next-door-neighboring at an alarmingly close range.

I spend my days behind a computer screen helping intelligence operatives navigate dangerous missions. My nights? Between Owen’s historical theater restoration, his investor (whom I’m convinced is shady), and my unfortunate inability to act cool around Owen, things are getting complicated.

But even though romance isn’t part of my mission briefing, Owen keeps making me wonder if maybe I could be seen and safe at the same time.

Am I falling for my neighbor? Possibly.

Initiate emotional containment protocol.

Or bring cookies. Either works.

“Spies Don’t Fall for Their Neighbor” is a closed-door romantic comedy brimming with chemistry and witty banter. In a world where the family business is the spy business, prepare to laugh, swoon, and fall head over heels in love.

Book Review

Since the very first book in this series, I have been absolutely obsessed. Spies + romance... what could be better? I have loved every book in the series (and those connected as well), and I could not wait to get Charlie's story... and it absolutely did not disappoint. I absolutely loved Charlie and Owen together. There's no better way to truly get to know someone better than to have the wall between you torn down... and I do mean the literal wall after a water leak in the wall connecting their homes leaves them with nothing but a sheet of plastic separating their kitchens. Their story is one filled with accidental eavesdropping, some embarrassing moments, sweet post it notes and gifts, just the right amount of danger and adventure, and oh-so-much chemistry... and I was here for it all! If you love spy movies and a good romcom, this is a book/series not to be missed! 

Spies Don't Fall for Their Neighbor is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is the third book in the Romancing the Spy series. While I think this could probably enjoyed as a standalone as well, I do think those who have read the previous books will have a much better understanding of Charlie's family dynamics/business.
