Summary:Fields’ Rule #1: Don’t fall for the enemy.

Berry Fields is not looking for a boyfriend. She’s busy trailing cheaters and liars in her job as a private investigator, collecting evidence of the affairs she’s sure all men commit. And thanks to a pepper spray incident during an eighth grade game of spin the bottle, the guys at her school are not exactly lining up to date her, either.

So when arrogant—and gorgeous—Tanner Halston rolls into town and calls her “nothing amazing,” it’s no loss for Berry. She’ll forget him in no time. She’s more concerned with the questions surfacing about her mother’s death.

But why does Tanner seem to pop up everywhere in her investigation, always getting in her way? Is he trying to stop her from discovering the truth, or protecting her from an unknown threat? And why can’t Berry remember to hate him when he looks into her eyes?

With a playful nod to Jane Austen, Spies and Prejudice will captivate readers as love and espionage collide.

My Thoughts: Whoa, I really loved this one! It was so cute and funny.

We are introduced to Berry who spies on people. She does it for her father of course. They have a business and Berry is an essential part of it.  Usually she just gets information on people who are cheating, not that big of a deal right? She can blend in well, nobody pays much attention to a teenager.

Until one day Berry sees her best friends father handing a paper to a women with Berry’s mom’s name on it. Berry's mom committed suicide a while ago, but of course Berry starts wondering if there is more to the story.

Also, add in a few new hot boys to the mix. Berry ends up becoming friends with two boys, one of which is Tanner. The first words Berry ever really heard out of his mouth was that she wasn't anything amazing. How RUDE. That sure does put him on her bad side that is for sure.

Berry must dive into the secrets and her mom’s past. She has to find out what went on and she’s determined to do it with all the help she can get.

I loved this one. Seriously loved. I laughed out loud, I giggled to myself, I smiled, I shouted. It was fantastic. There were a few cheeseball moments but they made it even cuter.

And Tanner, oh Tanner, how can you say she’s not amazing. Biggest lie you ever told, right? Bet you regret saying that!

I loved all the characters, loved the plot, and loved the boys.

Overall: Awesome story! Please read it! Part mystery, part love story, and part awesome!

Cover: It’s cute. I could see her looking like this!
