***The first book in the Her Super Spy Trilogy, is is a story of Romantic Suspense, Espionage...and murder. Unlucky in espionage, lucky in love? Samantha King is a hopeless romantic when it comes to love. On vacation in London, England, she meets a guy that she could really go for. But he disappears on her, breaking her heart. The next morning, she finds out why - he was murdered in the alley behind the pub. The killer is after her next. Tom Bridges is a Data Intelligence Officer for the civilian branch of MI5. He wants to find out who killed his friend and retrieve the evidence that the agent was bringing in. Sam has it and he knows it. He’s going to have to keep her safe in order to get it from her. Because the killer knows she has it too. Even if she doesn’t know it. The attraction between Tom and Sam is immediate. And platonic, to her disappointment. If Tom will stop being all business and give her a chance, she might be able to break the romance curse. If they both live that long.

London, England, The Shakespeare Pub. The killer punched Manning’s solar plexus & knocked the wind out of him.
The TV news reporter said MI5 Officer William “Will” Manning (Digital Intelligence Unit MI5 Courier) has been killed.
Police are looking for a young woman.
Sammy “Sam” King (f) & Robbie George (BMF) went to talk with the police.
Agent Tom Bridges (MI5 DI Intelligence/Data Analyst Unit) interviewed her.
Director Lydia Barrowman & Agent Bridges were discussing the case.
The man who killed Will, shot at Sam.
I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.
Warning: This book contains descriptive accounts of extremely graphic adult content, violence, or expletive language &/or uncensored sexually explicit material which is only suitable for mature readers. It may be offensive or have potential adverse psychological effects on the reader. If you are especially sensitive to this type of material, it is strongly advised not to read any further.
An awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very professionally written who-dunnit murder mystery book. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a huge description list of unique characters, settings, facts etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great murder mystery movie, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

If you like steamy Romantic Suspense, Jess Austen's books are for you!
Sam King, of Lexington, KY, is on vacation with her best friend in London. When she screws up her courage to visit a pub she meets with a nice hot Brit and engages in flirting. Just when she thinks he's as into her as she is him, he's spooked, spills their drinks, and is nowhere. Just her dumb luck! The next day she discovers he had been brutally murdered.
Tom Bridges is a special agent for the civilian branch of MI 5. The murdered man is his protege. He meets Sam in an interrogation room and treats her like a suspect when she is doing her civic duty and reporting what she has witnessed. He's taken aback when this Rubenesque beauty sizes him up and takes him down a couple of notches. They are instantly attracted and sparks fly.
Through in a diabolical villain and we have the makings of a classic spy thriller with a large helping of romance. Readers of Catherine Coulter, J T Ellison, and Jayne Ann Krentz will love this series.

I had a little trouble staying interested in this storyline but to give the author a fair shake I read through to the end. Overall just “not bad” for me. The previous reviews I read are small outlines of the story so I won’t get into that. Instead I will say that the love (sex) scenes for me we’re not so much steamy, as described, but overly graphic, according to my own taste. The story itself dragged her and there and lost my interest. Sorry but must be honest. For someone else this may not be the case and could be a thoroughly enjoyable read.
