Book Review: The Spy Who Stung Me

 


Honeytrap, I’m home!

Signing up for an intergalactic dating app was not in my job description. But when the government agency I work for needs someone undercover to investigate a potential human trafficking ring, I’m the only woman for the job. Everyone in the agency says I’m too unfeminine and coarse to pull this off, but I’ll show them I can be as sweet as honey.

The mark? A seven-foot-tall alien man named Hunnei Ral Xeric who looks like a bee-themed superhero.

In our communications, Xeric is considerate and earnest—but that has to be a facade. Maybe my time here on Earth has jaded me, but Xeric isn’t like any man I’ve met before. It only gets worse when I start asking questions about his proboscis and he starts going off about how enjoyable he finds it to suck the nectar from between—

This is supposed to be a sting operation, dang it! So why is my heart all abuzz?

Planet WLN269 Needs Women is a new shared world series that imagines what it would be like if human woman decided to leave behind one male loneliness epidemic to solve another on a planet in the Andromeda Galaxy. All stories feature low-stakes alien-human romance stories, lots of steam, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.


My Review

Bea wants to do more than just be a "honey pot". Yet as the lone female amongst her male dominant co-workers, she does not really get an option to do more. Xeric is kind of in the same boat as Bea. He is surrounded by female co-workers.

I loved the miscommunication trope. Not really sure if this is a trope but I am saying it is one. The conversations between Xeric and Bea are hilarious. Not to mention Bea mistaking certain anatomy of Xeric. Bea giving Xeric a lesson on what to call the female anatomy is funny. 

This book is the bee's knees! If you are looking for your next monster romance, then, you will have read this book. A laughing good time to be had with this book.
