Thanks to Berkley for the eARC, via NetGalley. All opinions are my own. 

I loved Tiana's first book, The Spy and I, and was thrilled when Mr. Nice Spy was announced, and that the MMC would be Adam Chan. I was even more thrilled when I received the eARC of the book. I devoured it in a day, and loved it all!

In this book, the Big Bad from book one, Holt, is still active and the CIA is determined to track him down. When the FMC, Andee, takes a DNA test and discovers Holt is her father, so does the CIA. And so does Holt. What happens next requires Andee and Chan to trust each other and work together to secure their freedom, in part by pretending to date. 

I love a suspense romance, and this book did not let me down. There was chemistry between Andee and Chan, as well as healthy doses of conflict to keep me wondering how we would get to an HEA, in addition to the two MCs being free of Holt. 

I think readers who enjoyed The Spy won't be disappointed by Mr. Nice Spy. I really hope Tiana writes more books in this universe; I particularly would love one with Madison, the sister of the FMC from The Spy and I, as the lead character!
