I love a good spy story. Give me some thrilling espionage full of intrigue, great action sequences, and a dash of romance. I can never get enough. Now, two spies falling in love? *swoon* That’s something I’ve loved ever since I watched the opening sequence of Spy Kids way back in the day. (Whenever someone turns that into a movie or novel, please let me know.) My love of spy romance stories only grew from there. Nikita (2010) is still one of my favorite TV shows, and I was pretty obsessed with Agents of SHIELD back in the day (before the Marvel/DC superhero fatigue got to me). Then there was Agent Carter, Chuck, and, more recently, Killing Eve to satisfy my spy cravings.
So, spy romance novels? Yeah, I’d say that’s my thing. These aren’t just regular old spy novels or thrillers, either. No, I expect a healthy dose of shoot first, swoon later in my spy romance. That is to say, these books need to be equal parts romance and spy hijinks to really nail the assignment. Good thing the spies in these six books know how to get the girl—or guy—and get their target.
