This was a great story for a first timer. Sneed sure does have talent if this book was any indication! I loved it. I have read it twice already. I liked the storyline and the characters were great! Even though Cary seemed like a name for girl, but he was all man, my kind of man at that! If you love a suspense cat and mouse game and mystery, than you will love this book by Sneed! Great read, and much success to the author!
Talent Uncovered

I could tell by the clouds above that a cold rainy night was ahead. I climbed up the small flight of stairs and ducked into my apartment. Glad to be safe from the approaching weather, I sprinted into my apartment in anticipation of a relaxing night of reading. I made some tea, grabbed my fluffest comforter and curled up on my couch with my just bought copy of Love Undercover. While those clouds outside rumbeled and snored, dropping their rain on the poor commuters tied up in the maze of traffic below, I was in San Francisco. I was following a young woman and a young man who I was so glad this talented new author was able to create for me. I read and read, oblivious to all that was around me, just waiting for them to become whole.
Wonderful Debut

Jessica Larson was a go getter. She felt she didn't have time for a relationship. She is stranded on an unfamiliar road in a storm. When she is rescued and taken to a bed and breakfast not too far from where her car broke down, she meets the intriguing and handsome Cary Riley. Jessica has never had an instant attraction to any man, but Cary was fine!Cary Riley is intrigued with Jessica Larson as well. Cary is at the inn to get a little rest. It didn't look as if Cary would get any rest, because he is always feeling guilty about his parents death. He decided not to allow anyone get too close to him, not even his brother and sister. Well, he heart betrayed him, when he laid eyes on Jessica Larson.This story was written with action in mind. Tamara Sneed did an excellent job in making the characters believable. Her story was well written. I hope she creates a story for David and Erin. GREAT JOB!

This book by Tamara Sneed was excellant. She puts everything that a romance reader looks for in this book. I love how she develop the love between Cary and Jessica. They seem to be someone you know. The story develops at a good rate and has you turning the pages to see what would happen next.The secondary characters put the comical scenes into the story and really helped to bring everything together. I hope to see a book on Tamara's bestfriend and brother.Good job Tamara I can't wait for your next book "A Royal Vow."

Congratulations Ms Sneed on an excellent delivery of Love Undercover.I enjoyed your author comments describing the Greek Mythology class and the subject matter being used as a foundation for your story-line. I love the stories involving around government agencies as it was illustrated in this story.The main characters: FBI Anti-Terrorist Agent, Cary Riley and Financial Consultant, Jessica Larson. You managed to use the philosophy of the Greek Mythology class into the development of Cary and Jessica's relationship which was very well done. You established the ground work in how they meet and the road they had to travel to the ending of the book. The minor characters: I loved Jessica's brother's (David) role he played as the over-protecting big-brother; her best friend, Erin and the constant bickering she and David does that enhances the story which I am not going to give that part away. The roles of the agents: Dan and Tyler, of course to again enhance the life as FBI agents. Again, not to discuss too much about their roles but they are indeed very significant to this story.The book would not have any excitement without controversial issues of the past that always seem to get in the way mostly throughout the book. But for all our lives, we all seem to have issues that one must resolve in order to move on in life and that is what Cary is faced with but I was happy that he finally sees the light. I also enjoyed the patience of love that both Jessica and Cary's brother Logan project in this story. As the saying goes, Love Does Conquer All.Ms Sneed, I don't know how you feel about sequels, as some authors don't like to pursue them but just for consideration purposes, I liked Cary's brother Logan in this story and would love to see you develop a story-line in the future for him, along with introducing the sister that is mentioned in this book but did not make any appearances.Ms Sneed, this was a very good book that I truly enjoyed and recommend to my fellow readers to read. Since this debut book has provided us with a sample of what is yet to come, I look forward to having the opportunity to reading your next book.
