Publisher Description
Avery Clavens is an average, somewhat socially awkward woman who works as a research assistant in a New York library. At least that's what everyone who knows her believes. In actuality, Avery was caught doing something wrong in her youth by a secret government agency, and when faced with either jail time or being recruited by the agency, she found orange really wasn't her color.
After seven years of nothing too exciting happening in the office, she is forced to go undercover with an agent she's pretty sure speaks the English language as interpreted by Martians. It doesn't help that she feel drawn to said agent, or that there is a weird spark anytime the two of them touch.
Can the two of them stop arguing long enough to get their man? Avery doesn't know, but dealing with Agent Barnes definitely isn't in her job description.

Excellent book
It has humor, mystery, and the lead characters are strong and believable. Loved the story.
Enjoyed
Someone mentioned misspellings but unless they cleaned it up, I didn’t see any problems. I enjoyed this book and loved Nate. Avery was funny too but the fact that no salt was mentioned in her mashed potatoes lol and she tend to go too far with the way she was to him and I also didn’t like the way she talked about her mom would who seemed to be a lovely person. Seems a bit immature. I would have given a 4 if not for her actions. I am willing to read the next one and hopefully she is better.
Not great, at all
There were plenty of misspellings, which I guessss are the editors’ problem but it was still annoying. The flow of the book made no sense, the actions throughout the book made no sense, the “development” of the relationship between the two…made no sense. One minute: we can’t have a relationship bc we’re coworkers, no story in between, then they’re saying things like “you’re dreaming about me” like 5 pages later. It’s just not connecting
