✱✱Book Review✱✱ After the Vows by Claudia Burgoa

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes a new emotional, suspenseful, best friend’s little sister romance.

His mission is to save the world
But can he keep his promise?

I’m still unsure how I got here.
There was Vegas.
Alcohol involved.
And rumor has it, Elvis was our witness.
All that happened ten years ago.

Ten.

Tall, dark, and delicious, Seth Bradley is some sort of Double-O-Seven.
—and my childhood crush.
One moment I’m Rachel Green discovering that she’s married to Ross Geller.
Next, I have to run for my life.
This isn’t how I imagined my happily ever after.

Right now, I’m just hoping to get out of this one alive.

After the Vows is the first book of the Covert Affairs duet. A page-turner that will leave you gasping with a delicious cliffhanger.

Momma Says: 5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Okay, I'm gonna need book two now, please. I knew there would be a cliffy. I knew it before even reading the first word. But, wow! Knowing did not keep me from spewing a few choice words and nearly throwing my Kindle when I read that last page. That's where I'll have to agree to disagree with the blurb because delicious isn't really the word I would've chosen to describe this cliffy. Heart-stopping, maybe? Yeah, that's pretty close, especially with the many elements that came together to get to that cliffy.

This is Seth Bradley and Teddy St James's story. If you're familiar with Claudia Burgoa's books, you'll recognize a lot of the key players in this one. That said, I don't think you'll be left out in the cold if you're new - I will go ahead and let you know that once you've met any of Claudia's characters, you'll want more. I love when she crosses some over here and there. It's like visiting with old friends.

As for Seth and Teddy, they have a kind of love/hate relationship going on, which means some fun banter to go along with the feels, the action, the danger... Oh yeah, and let's not forget they didn't even know they're married! Yep, the first half of Teddy and Seth's story is one crazy ride, and I can not wait for the second half!
