Queen B’s Decree: Mr. Nice Spy starts with a bang—literally, Andee works as a pyrotechnic expert. Andee has just done a DNA test to find and confirm her biological father and unfortunately she discovers he is an international criminal, when the CIA shows up at her doorstep.
She’s kidnapped by her father’s men, along with CIA agent Chan, who is believed to be her boyfriend. The rest of the story is basically plotting ways to escape and learn more about her father’s evil doings. The romance was a little lax, it felt more like trauma bonding; where being forced to pretend caused them to get to know each other better.
While the story sucked me in and I was hooked on the audio (I especially loved the narrator’s inflections during Andee’s inner monologue), the romance was not believable for me. I wish there had been an epilogue just to see Andee and Chan together in the future, while not kidnapped.
Overall, Mr. Nice Spy was fun and enjoyable.
