Book: The Love Interest

[chase_acow]

There is a secret organization that cultivates teenage spies. The agents are called Love Interests because getting close to people destined for great power means getting valuable secrets.

Caden is a Nice: The boy next door, sculpted to physical perfection. Dylan is a Bad: The brooding, dark-souled guy, and dangerously handsome. The girl they are competing for is important to the organization, and each boy will pursue her. Will she choose a Nice or the Bad?

Both Caden and Dylan are living in the outside world for the first time. They are well-trained and at the top of their games. They have to be – whoever the girl doesn’t choose will die.

What the boys don’t expect are feelings that are outside of their training. Feelings that could kill them both.

Yes, they fall for each other and it is kinda adorable. It's a thick book, but it's a quick read. I enjoyed it, but I just wanted more depth to the universe. If I make it to Yuletide, this is definitely something that I'll request, because there's so many opportunities for character moments, angsty tension, and the eventual triumph of good over evil.

Basically, this is a very adequate book that makes you like the characters and wish for more emotion and plot. So, exactly the kind of book fandom lives on. Fic for the book will be easy, but fusions with other characters as the 'Nice' and 'Bad' are going to be A++. : )

Also the cover is gorgeous.
