I usually don’t start a series mid point but the title and the chance to try a new author enticed me to give it a try.
The story centers around two individuals who recently graduated from their law enforcement training. One, with a new job as a policewoman the other as a sheriff.
Even in training these two seemingly opposites were always sparing, but the sparks were also flying. Maybe not evident to them but certainly to others.
Eden Brixton , a by the book woman, is not happy when she is assigned an undercover mission with none other than her nemesis, Marcus Swain, a former Marine whose childhood was not the best, and who is definitely not a by the book kind of guy.
As the undercover progresses, so do the feelings. But trusting someone else is not something either gives easily. Will they be able to complete the operation? Will the end of it mean the end of their budding relationship?
This was an easy read and an entertaining book. My one issue is that too much of the book was spent between the sheets, not always necessary for the plot.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Entangled Brazen. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Oh, yea, this one’s a scorcher! Make sure you have a fan nearby and maybe chapstick too cause Swain is lick-your-lips delicious. A really fun read! HEA, of course. It’s a stand alone but the others in the series are just as good so make sure to read those too!

An Entertaining Romance.
Eden can’t stand fellow cadet Marcus Swain, so is not best pleased when they have to pretend to be a couple for an undercover op. But doth the lady protest too much?
Loved how this romance and the undercover op unfurled. A recommended read.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I received an advanced reader's copy of Undercover Engagement by Samanthe Beck from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve read a few books by Samanthe Beck before and am familiar with the Private Pleasures series so I was excited to have an opportunity to be an advanced reader for the latest novel.

Overall, I felt this was a solid romance novel and I found it to be extremely well written (something I expect from the author and have not been let down by). The plot was engaging and evenly paced. The characters were nicely written (layers, folks!) and the dialogue was hilarious at times and a little heartbreaking at others.

And while our main characters - straight laced, by-the-book rookie cop, Eden Brixton, and swoon worthy con man turned maverick rookie cop, Marc Swain - had flaws, they were likable and had chemistry from the start. Once they began their undercover assignment, the heat was quickly dialed up to 11 (the steamy scenes were wicked hot).

This was a quick, fun read and I cannot wait for future novels by Samanthe Beck!

This was a fun steamy read however I thought the relationship between Eden and Marcus was a little disjointed. I felt I was reading scenes without transitions. The characters had chemistry but the story needed to be filled out.

Steamy and exciting, this was the perfect rainy day read. I have been on a romance kick recently and this book is why.
