Don't miss the next hilarious and gorgeously romantic romcom from Carlie Walker - out March 2025!
________Two exes. One mission. A trip she'll never forget...
Max is just your average girl. She works odd jobs, has a soul-crushing amount of debt and just happens to have an uncanny resemblance to Europe's youngest female prime minister, Sofia Christensen . . .
So when the prime minister receives a credible death threat, the CIA approaches Max with a a life-changing amount of money if she pretends to be Sofia on the prime minister's annual Italian trip.
It would be a dream if it weren't for those pesky assassins and Flynn, Max's ridiculously hot handler - the man who broke her heart years and years ago.
With her life now on the line, Max knows she has no choice but to lose herself in the role. But losing her heart to Flynn again? Now that's a risk that she isn't willing to take . . .
Red, White and Royal Blue meets Emily Henry in this opposites-attract, fake-dating romcom. Perfect for fans of Katherine Center and Ali Hazelwood.
Code Word Romance is a mystery with a secondary romance. The focus of the story is the mystery/suspense, but there is a second chance romance story that is cute. Max happens to be a dead ringer for a Prime Minister and the CIA is willing to pay her to play the part. Flynn is her “handler”.
The story has plenty of laughs and the plot is interesting. Max and Flynn have to escape assassins, so there is plenty of danger. Overall this was a fun read with a good plot and a cute romance!
