But there’s more at stake than ever before.
Emerson
I never forgot him.
He was—is—everything.
But the timing was off;
I had more happening in my life than I could handle.
And now, with him right there,
I can feel how much I’ve missed:
His touch, his scent, his taste.
Except, there’s more on the line
Than a love affair.
We have to keep it professional.
But can I do that when
I need so much more from this undercover agent?

Caught me from the very first page all through to the HEA!
Lynx or Lennox, is so flummoxed when he finds out the Dr. Charles he’s meeting, is non other than HIS Emerson. I’m laughing at what I can imagine, in his British dialect, is his affront to this whole operation, not quite knowing yet, how to proceed regarding the lovely Emerson.
Then there’s Emme, or Dr. Emerson Charles, the madly skilled scientist. Socially inept and a bit klutzy to boot, but totally adorable, who is working up a head of steam because she thinks Lynx doesn’t remember her. She’s oblivious to what’s really been going on around her, but catches on fast in a big way. I fell in love with these mains, their undeniable attraction to each other and smoking hot chemistry, all while they each still had a professional image to maintain, let alone work together. I found myself chuckling at these two sometimes-love bits of humor, along with heat at the right times, in a well written story.
There is a whole big story going on that involves espionage, China, and their power over pharmaceutical drugs, among other trade practices. This is crazy good believable fiction, and knowing how long ago this was written, just blows me away with what’s now happening in real time. This is page turning intrigue and suspense, along with some nail biting action to make you forget it’s even a romance-very well plotted!
Absolutely loved the characters. The dual POVs gave me the ability to know each one’s thoughts and feelings more intimately, to feel their journey in my heart. I went through a lot of emotions while reading, and a blissful sigh of happiness at the end.
This storyline was riveting with all the twists and connections, Ms. Slade is so well known for!
I’m currently binge reading all the Invincible and K-19 books and loved this book of Lennox and Emerson. I love all the interaction between all the books and how they all come together. You always get a great story with every book. “May the bold, the true, the gallant prevail.” Great words and toast.
I voluntarily reviewed this book.
This was a huge disaster for a mostly otherwise fun series. The story was ridiculous, the characters mostly pathetic and obnoxious. Each and every alpha male was more obnoxious than the other. Honestly, it was painful to listen to. And a narrator who normally is amazing and brings to life each character blew it in this book. Terrible accents that further ruined the listen. Also, Emme is supposed to be an incredibly brilliant woman and yet acts like a total immature idiot. Sorry, but skip this one. I wish I did.
Undercover Agent is Lynx and Emerson’s story. They met several years before at a conference, had hot, wild sex for one night, before Emerson leaves to go home the morning after. They come together again because Emerson’s neighbor is missing and at first they act like they’ve never met. Once they finally admit that they did have a past things start heating up between them. Lynx is an agent for the CIA and one of their agents is missing, along with 3 others, in China. Lynx and a team have to put together a mission to go get them. In the middle of all this Emerson is in danger as well.
There is a lot of suspense, intrigue, alpha males wanting the same woman, bad guys and good guys. The plot of this story is a good one and I enjoyed the story; however, for me I would have liked a bit more romance than all the intrigue going on but that is just me. I did like getting the POV from each character so the reader can get an idea of what they are thinking. Irish and Lynx’s back and forth over Emerson was a bit funny as well. This is a good story and well written.
This is a new to me author, but I love her writing style and can’t wait to read her other books! Loved the chemistry and connection between Lynx and Emerson, the suspense and the action were well written. The only thing that sort of brought this down was the ending, I feel like there could have been more to the explanation of Saint and the decisions he made.
One night and a second chance. This read had a bit of suspense and good chemistry.
Undercover agent for the CIA, Lynx is on a job, he’s supposed to be meeting a Dr Charles when he bumps into Emerson the woman he had a one night stand with three years before, it turns out she’s Dr Charles, whilst they both recognise one another neither one of them say so and understandably Emerson is confused as to what’s going on with Lynx when she discovers the mission he’s on and the fact that she’s in danger, there’s a lot of emotion surrounding the pair and the attraction between them is overwhelming however what’s going to happen once the mission is over? after all they do live apart, an ocean separates them, will they get their happily ever after or do they go their separate ways, again?. Read Undercover Agent to find out for yourselves, you won’t be disappointed, I read this gem of a book in one sitting and I look forward to reading more from this particular author.
A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This is a great start to the series and this one was about Lynx and the mission he is tasked with and struggles he goes through. Emerson has struggles with work and this story points out how she deals with it all. The mission and twist keeps you turning the pages.
Super smart, Emerson finds herself in the middle of something unexpected with a man that she never thought she would see ever again, Lynx.
The circumstances are unique but the attraction is off the charts for this couple that find themselves thrown together 3 years after their first and only encounter.
Love and intrigue are exactly what they both needed to come together as they should have always been but had to many reason or obstacles in their way.
If you are looking for a read that will pull you in and make you invested in their outcome. Then this is the Book for you. Not one but 3 sexy Britt’s that will make your imagination soar into the next stratosphere!
I recently discovered both Heather Slade and The Cocky Hero Club novels, and boy am I glad that I did!! I absolutely loved the story. The characters were awesome…equal parts sass and steam from both Lynx and Emerson, which made for a page turning story that I just could not put down. Lynx, the cocky British undercover agent and Emerson a scientist with mad skills thrust together to save the world, while trying to fight the feelings they have for each other…what could go wrong?!? While this was a romance novel, there was also action, adventure, and mystery woven in, which I really enjoyed. Heather’s writing pulled me in at page one and before I knew it, I was done with the book. I loved her descriptive writing – describing the characters and the story in a way that sucked me right in and made me feel like I was part of the story…like I was walking alongside the characters living the same things they were. This story had equal parts romance and action/adventure and I loved every minute of it! While this was the first book I read by Heather Slide, you better believe that I will be picking up many more of her books in the future (more specifically the near future)!
Undercover Agent by Heather Slade is a phenomenal romantic suspense book. Ms. Slade has given readers a book that is not only well-written but will keep them reading past their bedtime. This is one of those books you just can’t put down. It is written in first person, alternating point of view format, my least favorite (ok, I hate it) but the author made it work in this book. I still think it would have been better in third person, but that’s a personal preference. Emerson bumps into the man she had a one-night stand with at her apartment building. When Lynx bumps into the woman he hasn’t been able to forget he pretends he doesn’t know her…because that’s what M16 agents do. Lynx and Emerson’s story is loaded with drama, humor, smokin’ hot sexy bits and the suspense level is low. I enjoyed reading this book and look forward to reading more from Heather Slade soon. Undercover Agent is part of A Cocky Hero Club Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.
ARC for honest review with no compensation
Undercover Agent by Heather Slade is part of the Cocky Hero Club World by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. Love Ms. Slade’s books and now getting to read a whole new series by various authors.
Lennox ‘Lynx’, Edgemon, we read about in Decked, part of the Invincibles series by Ms Slade and hoping he got his own book and here we are…
Lynx and Emerson ‘Emme’ has a one night stand in England a while back and neither could forget the other…fast forward to being thrown together again, missing agents, different lives on opposite sides of the ocean, chemistry, suspense, drama and so much more!
Undercover Agent is part of the stand-alone Cocky Hero Club series. FYI: It features Lennox Edgemon aka Lynx,the brother to Edge whom we meet in the Invincible Intelligence series by Heather Slade.
Lynx and Emerson shared one night of passion 3 years ago. No last names were exchanged so neither expected to see the other, although both were impacted by that single encounter. Fate intervenes and they meet again on a professional level. Emerson is a brilliant strategist on all things regarding China’s politics and policies, specifically regarding the United States. When an undercover agent and an outspoken doctor go missing in Hong Kong, it will take Emerson’s brilliance and Lynx’s contacts to bring them home safely.
I love this author. She uses words like an artist uses a canvas to draw a reader into the world she painstakingly creates. Her characters have deep emotions that spill out on the pages of her novels as they navigate the situations they encounter. She writes steamy, open door sex scenes that do not overshadow the plot and always leaves a reader with a satisfying HEA ending.
5 stars!
4.5 stars
Such wonderful characters and a great storyline. A book packed full of danger, emotions and action. Lots of twists and turns to have me eager to find out what would happen next.
What a great book!!! It had everything I look for, great writing, wonderful characters, mystery and lots of chemistry. This is the first book I have read by this author, but I will be looking through her library of work very soon. Lennox and Emmerson are two strong willed and maybe a bit stubborn lead characters but very likable and I was cheering them on from the start. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book for an honest review.
Who doesn’t love a good suspense story with a hot British man but I loved that Emerson was just as smart and helpful in the .entire process.
Emerson is shocked to find her one night stand from three years ago in her apartment building looking for a neighbor that has been away for two weeks. Could it be a coincidence or could it be much more than she imagined? She hasn’t been able to get Lynx out of her mind all these years.
Lynx recognized her right from the beginning but he had a job to do. A fellow agent to help find. As far as he understands this woman is the key to finding out. The more he sees her in her role at work, adapt and roll with the punches that him and his fellow agents keep throwing her way, the more she intrigues him.
Will they let life pass them by again without giving into the draw between them? But his time in the States is limited so why bother? It will just leave her with a broken heart again.

This one will captivate from the first page to the end. Lennox, aka Lynx, is a senior agent with MI6. His latest case brings him back in contact with Dr. Emerson Charles, aka Emme, his one-night stand from three years ago. As a scientist, Emme comes off as an endearing, socially awkward klutz who does not believe that Lynx remembers her. She has her head in the clouds and is oblivious to the goings on around her, until she catches on. Readers will not be able to help falling for these characters as their chemistry is beyond hot but tempered as they are professionals who must work together. The storyline is well written, filled with drama, intrigue and suspense that just keeps the action moving and the pages turning. It is written from a dual point of view giving both characters’ perspectives and feelings to enhance their journey. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.
Written in the Cocky Hero Club World Undercover Agent, Lynx is a devilishly handsome Brit who is sent on a mission to locate a missing fellow agent. When he arrives at his apartment building he can’t believe his one night stand from a few years ago is standing in front of him in the vestibule. In Emerson’s rush to get out of her building, she inadvertently lets in the handsome young man whose voice takes her back to the one wild night she had with a stranger and then disappeared. The sex was amazing. The sparks are flying and the electricity between them only intensifies as they are thrown together in this international suspense.
Heather Slade creates stories filled with strong sexy alpha men that have a sense of honor to uphold while trying to find the possibility of forever. Her heroines are strong intelligent woman who are pulled between their jobs and the probability that they may just fall in love during a mission that can put both their lives at stake.
This is a worldwind story of intrigue, espionage and commitment. Can these two find their way back to each other? Will Lynx be able to save Emerson and bring his fellow agents home safe? You’ll see.
WOW! I loved this story, it has you all up in your feelings. Drama, suspense, action, love, humor, longing and so much more. Emerson and Lynx are relatable characters, ok maybe not for the typical person, but believable yes. I mean Emerson is a genius and Lynx is an M16 agent. From a one night stand three years ago they both longed and fantasized about the other for that whole time. Then one day he walks into his missing agents apartment building and there she is… Can they make it through all that’s going on and actually have a relationship? Will they be town apart by his job? Will he survive his mission? HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING!!
I received this as an ARC and this is my honest and voluntary review.
This story ticked a bunch of boxes for me. It was far from predictable. It was super sexy. It starts a whole set of other books within this world. I know nothing about this author except she wrote this story well and managed to capture my attention thru one sitting. That’s huge. I’m looking forward to reading the next two in her world.
