The Writing
The writing is a bit confusing in the beginning, you don’t really know who the main characters are bc it’s written in 3rd person. I love a good 3rd person book, but like I said, this was just not very well done in the beginning. Other than that, the writing is fairly good. But doesn’t make up for the stupid MC and weak FC.
The Characters
MC is the classic "I’m a nice guy and did something kind so I deserve sex and whatever I want". Every thought he had throughout the book made me feel violently uncomfortable. Every time I read a romance book, I always wish the entire book was in 3rd person so that I could hear the MC’s every thought about the FC. Now that I got my wish, I’ll never wish for that again. It was giving a bit too much of real-life male thoughts. We read romance to see men in a positive light, not to see them how they are irl

4 little moon melted my heart stars!!!
This was just too sweet, I just can’t handle it when a tough guy is thrown for a loop by a tiny tot. It wasn’t exactly a meet cute for Ethan and Juliet but it was sure a adorable meet up for Ethan and Luna. Ethan thinks he is a total bachelor and lives a bachelor life, I actually think he might have fallen for Luna first. Its really sweet how Ethan has all these rules and he’s so respectful of Juliet and her space and boundaries. However he is an FBI agent and he needs to uncover all of the mysteries that is her past and of course that causes tension.
Juliet seems to come off timid in the beginning but I think it might have more to do with her being sick. She is amazingly strong for having gone through what she did and survived as she did. It was nice watching her come out of her shell with the contractors and even Ethan. Two of my favorite interactions were when she met Donovan and Viktor. Also the Gatorade part with Donovan was pretty funny. Of course she has to overcome her past to have a future and I liked seeing her become so much stronger for it.
This was such a sweet story, I fell head over heels for all of the characters. I don’t think there was a single person I didn’t like. Is there a book about Viktor? Will there be a book? I’m excited for the next book I can’t wait for it to come out.

I loved this story, I am just not a fan of 3rd person but other than that, it was good.

[2.75 Stars] Codename Romeo is my first Lucy Leroux book, and I thought it was just ok. I thought the romance and the plot were underdeveloped, and the book was too short. Overall, it was fast-paced and entertaining but didn't have much substance.
