{Review} The Espionage Effect by Kat & Stone Bastion (@KatBastion @StoneBastion)

When desire sets you free…control is a matter of perception.

I'm Devin Hill.

Darkness taints my soul.

I'm suffocating. Drowning.

The sweet promise of air? Pure illusion.

Tested as a genius at age seven, I hide my emotions, become what they expect...bury my secrets. At nineteen, I trudge toward a predestined path, blinders on, heart safeguarded.

Until I dare to be wild.

Until Alec Marquez crashes into my world.

Until all that follows redefines everything I've ever known.

What happens when you stumble into a world of spies...and discover you belong there?

Devin Hill is off-the-charts intelligent. With an IQ of 162 and an eidetic memory, she’s more than capable of taking care of herself. So when a much-needed vacation with her best friend takes an unexpected turn, she should be prepared to deal with anything.  She was never prepared for this.

After the loss of her twin sister at a very young age, her parents relentlessly groomed her for greatness. Archery lessons, puzzles and intricate brain games were nothing out of the ordinary for her.  And now that Alejandro Marquez has appeared in her life, she’s going to need all of her skills more than ever.

“You do realize, I know the statistical probability of your being here as coincidence is so astronomically high, it’s effectively nil. Three ‘random’ occurrences where we cross paths in one day defies the theory of Occam’s Razor.”

The corners of his lips twitched.

 “Do you kiss with that extraordinary mouth?”

Alec seems like the perfect summer fling – gorgeous, intense and mysterious.  When Devin throws caution to the wind and enters into a passionate affair with him, she can never imagine just how many secrets that one man can hold.

“But prior to the notion of wild sex with virtual strangers, before the idea of a vacation even blinked into existence, one thing had fueled me more than anything ever had. And the dark giant who’d been slumbering deep inside me, craving vengeance for a child who’d been robbed of any semblance of a normal life, stretched, gradually coming back to life. Alec hadn’t merely awakened me sexually. He’d opened my eyes to an entire realm of possibilities I hadn’t considered before. In the past few years, I’d grown restless and unfulfilled, blindly led down a road I hadn’t wanted, had never asked for. Yet now, I saw my path clearly, as if an undeniable shining beacon on the far horizon drew me in.”

The Espionage Effect is one of those books that will hook you on so many different levels!  It mixes the best of erotic romance, romantic comedy and mystery with an ending that you will never see coming to create a unique reading experience that only Kat and Stone could bring to marvelous life.
