ABOUT THE SERIES

Blake Wright is a restaurant manager.

She is not a spy. Never has been. Has always wanted to be, though. Ever since she was a little girl. The desire has run deep inside her for many years but she is honest enough with herself to note that in all that time, she has done nothing to work towards that goal except wish. So then the question comes why her adventures make her a part of this compendium. The answer is, sort of by accident.

What this now grown woman does for a living, since we know it is not being a spy, is told to us by her right away. "Even though I was only twenty-seven, I had been working for my parents at their restaurant most of my life. When I was a child, it was fun to go in and hang out, visiting with the workers and eating the yummy food. I wasn't sure how I went from there to running the restaurant majority of the time. My parents were too young to retire, but seemed to put more on my plate every day." Which explains the occupation listed above of restaurant manager.

Wright's 'transition' to that of a kind of secret agent got its start with two things, The first was being asked by her neighbor to look after her two cats while the neighbor was away for a few days, The second was bumping into, literally and accidentally, the "incredibly handsome - no, make that gorgeous - stranger" with the emerald green eyes. That stranger, whose name she would learn was Marcelo Ricci, would become someone very important in the immediate future.

The transition from running an eatery to being an undercover operative is a slow one for Wright; it certainly does not happen in the first adventure coming gradually as it does. And she will only be working on a part-time basis so she never has the chance to or urge to quit her legitimate day job. But over time she will find, ever so slowly, that her wish to be a spy comes true.

2 Biting Off More Than I Can Chew Biting Off More Than I Can Chew
Written by Amy Woodley

"The desire to become a spy was greater now than ever before. After saving Marcelo's life and stopping the criminal— I was addicted. I was ready to do whatever it took to make my dreams of being an undercover agent turn into a reality. The problem was, I had too many distractions— starting with Marcelo, the Italian hottie, my arch-enemy popping back up into my life, the banquet I was in charge of, and the handsome Private Investigator who was willing to teach me the basics. It was time I figured out some answers to the millions of questions I had— regardless of the lengths I had to go to get them. But would someone stop me before I could? I didn't know who I could trust and who I couldn't, and I wondered if I was biting off more than I could chew."

"My sister is missing! Has anyone seen her? I am a walking disaster not only because I'm sick with a nasty cold but also because the last conversation I had with Lillian was of her choosing to disown me as her sister. What if I never see her again?
I can't even fathom the thought! So, I did the only thing I knew to do- I enlisted the help of Marcelo AND Brady. Yes, I was making them work together, and they didn't like it. Not one bit.
Everything was going wrong from the torrential downpour of rain that seemed to be never-ending to me being run off the road and winding up in jail. Yes, jail."

"Stella Rivers has a stalker. Why this is my problem? I have no idea. Ever since she decided we needed to bury the hatchet, she thinks we are the best of friends. Of course I love a good mystery to solve, but this is more than I bargained for when helping Stella ends up with her living in my home and even wearing my clothes. She is disrupting my life, including my love life. Things are going great with Brady, and I would like for it to continue as so, without Stella in the middle of every date we have. Not to mention all the dates I'm having to go on hoping to figure out which guy has his sights on Stella. Including his camera sights.
Things take a turn for the worse when Stella's stalker becomes my own. Not only do I have to keep my eye out for the stalker, but I also have to watch out for my new next-door neighbor who makes me cringe each time I encounter him. I know he is up to no good. I just need the opportunity to prove it."

5 Just Another Day In Paradise Just Another Day In Paradise
Written by Amy Woodley
Copyright: 2021

"How I ended up going from having my heart broken by Brady to being married to Marcelo was beyond me. Okay, it was a fake marriage. But still.
I had booked a cruise to get away for some desperately needed downtime, which ended up being the exact opposite of what I got. Instead, I was coaxed into working a case with Marcelo, which was what I had always wanted. Not so much having to deal with Marcelo, but being invited to work an undercover investigation.
The problem was, having to pretend to be Marcelo’s wife became more than I bargained for as emotions skyrocketed and I didn’t know how to tame them. Solving the case wasn’t the only thing on my mind. Now I needed to figure out how I was going to get off this ship with my heart intact. How could a person fall for someone when their heart was already broken?"

6 Things Aren't Always What They Seem Things Aren't Always What They Seem
Written by Amy Woodley
Copyright: 2021

"I am not a criminal! I think. Wait, no, I know I'm not! Then why does everyone believe I am? I agreed to take this case, but after an ultimatum from Marcelo Ricci- I changed my mind. How I ended up right in the middle of the car theft ring wasn't my fault. I only hoped they didn't leave me there.
I had the information needed to stop the guy in charge until I learned there was a boss. There was someone even higher in power calling the shots. I had to find out who. Only I couldn't stay much longer or I would end up at the mercy of Jack Herbert."

7 Strike A Pose Strike A Pose
Written by Amy Woodley
Copyright: 2021

"Me — a model? No way! Yet, that was exactly what I had just auditioned to be, and for good reason. I was on a mission to learn what Willis and Patricia Gulls were up to. I was hoping my hunch of them being wrapped up in criminal activity was wrong, at least for Brady's sake. However, there were four model interns that I had to ensure were safe in their care, and I had my doubts. Marcelo agreed to work with me on the case, hoping this was the last one I would take on, and then we could pursue our relationship further. Everything was going smoothly until my mom heard Marcelo and I had eloped. Which we really hadn't, yet how could I explain why we pretended to be married on the cruise ship?"

"I can't believe it! I have found myself the victim of identity theft that is sweeping across the town of Dexter. Marcelo has been put on the case to find the culprits, only not with me as his partner, but Becky instead. Becky is tall, blonde, and gorgeous causing all of my insecurities to rise to the surface and it seems Marcelo is fighting his own ugly green giant as well.

MY COMMENTS

These adventures of a would-be - okay, wannabe - spy are a hoot and a half (no idea what half a hoot looks like). These almost but not exactly spy adventures take a fascinatingly unusual young woman into bizarre situations that are as enjoyable as they are unbelievable and since they are so much of the former that I did not care about the latter, well, there you are!

And she (okay, the author) has the good sense to surround the lovely Blake Wright with an assortment of equally strange (though each in a different way) characters so she had company when she gets herself into jam after jam. And then there is Agent Hughes. Ah, Agent Hughes. What would Wright's life be without Hughes?

These books are meant to amuse and to put a smile on your face and they did for me.
