Synopsis

In this modern blend of heisty hijinks, romantic tension, and madcap mystery for fans of Ally Carter, Catherine Mack, The White Lotus and , an undercover operative with a rookie handler who’s as hot as he is blundering must infiltrate a suburban mom smuggling ring while dodging a killer from her past…


She’s had dozens of identities—but none of them have ever fallen in love.


When confidential informant Erin Daniels is abruptly pulled off an insider trading investigation and sent across the country with just a few hours’ notice, she’s definitely not expecting her new assignment to involve infiltrating a smuggling ring in a . . . suburban mommy group? She’s also not expecting to meet a clumsy field agent who is hot as hell—or to hear that the man who handled her assignments for the last 10 years is dead.


Erin’s spent the last decade as a secret operative for the intelligence agency that arrested her con artist father—and ostensibly is keeping her safe from retribution. With her former handler the only constant in a life spent on the move, inserting herself into dangerous situations, Erin has to adjust to newcomer Cal Bray, and his sometimes-blundering attempts to protect her—all while trying to deny her growing attraction to him.


But before they can get too far into the mommy ring, a vengeful figure from Erin’s past reappears, bent on killing her—and coming uncomfortably close. Drawing on her years of experience and Cal’s best instincts, Erin is determined to exorcize her ghosts for good, and find out what a real life, on her own, is like—and if Cal is willing to lend a hand . 


Review 


I received the Alias Agenda in return for an honest review TLC Book Tours. 


Erin was a con artist with her dad till the day they ended up cought and she’s forced into doing missions for the intelligence agency. When she’s sent on a mission to watch house wives her new handler is very much unlike her prior one she’s hd for the last 10 years. Bodies start piling up and her past comes back to get her. With the help of her new handler Cal she may just make it out alive and learn the truth along the way. 


I really enjoyed Erin's character you can't help cheering her on through the story and I really felt like I was able to connect with her. I think Cal is a perfect partner on the case to team up with as they go after the mom group. I loved the little bit of romance tossed into the whirlwind mystery that has returned from the past to get her. I enjoyed the mom group they reminded me of playdates when my teenager was little. 


This is my first book by the author and i'm hooked. I ended up devouring this one ins just one reading session. The author has done a beautiful job creating lovable characters and a story that keep me captivated till the very last page. I enjoyed every moment of the story and loved the sweet sprinkle of romance between our main characters. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the authors books because this one was so much fun.
