WOW! This book was crazy suspenseful and insanely sexy! From the first page I was hooked and immediately loved this story…” He wants her off his base . . . and in his bed.The last thing Senior Officer Gabe Wilcox wants on his base is some CIA agent snooping around except when it turns out to be Agent Lucia Rizzo with her smart mouth, killer curves, and legs he can’t wait to have wrapped around … wait to have wrapped around his waist. She should be off limits . . . but then, Gabe didn’t become a Navy SEAL by backing down. He’ll help Lucia with her investigation—and show her his commands will be far more pleasurable behind closed doors.
She’s there to work . . . not fall for the rock-solid senior officer in charge.
Agent Lucia Rizzo has spent her entire career with a singular objective—become the very best the CIA has to offer. There’s just one last mission standing in her way: uncover a traitor within the SEALs and recruit the sexy-as-hell SEAL, Gabe Wilcox. From the moment she arrives on base, Gabe, with his cocky grin and cute as hell dimples, proves he’s the undeniable distraction she never saw coming.
As the investigation heats up, and truths become lies, Gabe and Lucia must work together to answer the only question that matters: When everyone’s lying, and lives are at stake, can they even trust each other?
A Covert Affair is a stand-alone military romantic suspense with a take-no-prisoners CIA Agent and the Navy SEAL who brings her to her knees.

Kennedy Mitchell can handle angst, heat and suspense like a boss. And A Covert Affair was an excellent example. I fell for the story hook, line and sinker!
Lucia is a bada$$ woman. She has a special skillset of ability to read people’s reactions and body language. And when she is assigned to a secret op to find out a mole in the SEAL and also lure Gabe Wilcox to recruit to CIA, she did not know this will be a mission beyond physical danger and psychological warfare. Gabe was not prepared for Lucia’s bright and blinding light. Can they get out of it physically and emotionally alive?
I loved Gabe. Kennedy Mitchell has a way with dangerous alpha man and Gabe was no exception. The chemistry between Gabe and Lucia was pure fire. I loved Lucia. She has a contradictory mess of character traits. And I admire and adore her. The storyline was full of twists and turns and I was glued to the pages!
If you love your romance with a sexy edge of thriller and bite of angst, A Covert Affair by Kennedy Mitchell is a must read for you!
Received ARC for honest review
Wow!! This book was fantastic! I don’t always love books about the CIA or about SEALS, but this one exceeded my expectations. Lucia is a CIA agent who has been tasked with finding a mole within a SEAL team. Their missions have been sabotaged and Gabe is the SEAL who has been assigned to help her.
Lucia is badass!! She is strong, independent and can defend herself against almost any situation. She’s also smart and is called a witch because she can read people so well. She is woman; hear her roar! She also allows herself to be vulnerable with Gabe and to show a softer side of herself to him.
Gabe is also pretty badass. As a Navy SEAL, he’s prepared to defend himself and others. He’s protective of Lucia, but he also allows her to fight her own battles. He revels in her intelligence and abilities. He never makes her feel less than because she’s a woman. He treats her as an equal and that was so refreshing.
These two together were HOT! Their chemistry was explosive and the tenderness between them was beautiful. They truly understood each other and had the other’s back. They brought out the best in each other and were a great team.
I highly recommend this book. It was well written with an intriguing plot that had unexpected twists and turns. The character development was superb and the romance flowed well. If you like romance, danger, and smart and passionate characters, this book is for you.
Read the book thanks to a gorgeous new cover and boy am I glad that I did.
I know authors grow by each book they put out, but wow, even a few years old, this book was just as epic as the books the author is currently releasing.
I don’t think she could write a bad book even if she tried!!
Like all her other books, the characters and plot will draw you in from cover to cover and refuse to let you go.
I know this was a standalone but hope the author decides to bring them back to life in the future.
Definitely a must read!!!
Fastpaced, action-packed, suspenseful, and da#n sexy!
I always like that moment at the beginning of a book where you know one will fall, but who will it be? And how?
Lucia and Gabe are having a hard time keeping their hands off each other from the first minute, but then Gabe gets called out. He’s gone for a few days, and when he gets back she’s got questions he can’t answer.
It’s the CIA vs the SEALS, the dream team of lies and secrets, who will win, and what does winning look like? Gabe’s not sure if he’s the only one invested, and Lucia’s not sure he won’t be increasingly angry when she can’t answer questions. That’s how love dies, failure to communicate.
Can Lucia and Gabe survive to get back to each other? And WHO is the mole? A fun, fast-paced, sexy AF game of hide and seek. I can’t wait to see what Kennedy Mitchell will give us next! A new to me author that gave me a heck of a wild ride.
