Description
They were each other’s first love. Now they might be each other’s last hope. Perfect for fans of Ally Carter, Spies, Lies, and Alibis is an unputdownable binge-fest, full of laughs, heart, and mischief.
Cybil Langford has spent years hiding behind her polished, professional facade as the executive assistant to a powerful real estate mogul, where she’s perfectly positioned to collect intel on her boss’s criminal network. But when her mission leads her into the path of Lorenzo Ramirez–a ruthless crime boss with deadly plans–she’ll need every ounce of cunning and charm to stay one step ahead.
Then he walks back into her life.
Ben Bradley is deep undercover for the FBI, living under an alias, as a financial advisor with a reputation for helping the wealthy and corrupt launder their money. His target? Lorenzo Ramirez, a dangerous crime boss with his hands in everything from smuggling to murder. But when a familiar face from his past suddenly reappears, things get . . . complicated.
The last time Cybil saw Ben, he was an annoying prankster–and her first crush. The last time Ben saw Cybil, she stole a piece of his heart. Neither expected to run into each other at a high-stakes fundraising gala where crime, corruption, and undercover agendas collide.
Forced to work dangerously close, neither knows the other’s true agenda. Cybil sees the boy who once broke her heart, now a man whose motives are deeply suspect. Ben sees the woman he never got over but can’t determine if she’s an innocent caught in the crossfire or a willing accomplice. As they navigate a world of spies, lies, and fragile alibis, they must dismantle the walls around their hearts.
The intel is classified. The trust is fragile. And their covers are one lie away from blowing wide open.

Summary
Spies, Lies and Alibis is easily my favorite Natalie Walters book that I’ve read so far. From the very first chapter, the story pulled me in with its blend of intrigue, humor, and charming chemistry. It felt like stepping into a lighthearted 007-style adventure, and I loved all of Ben’s subtle James Bond references sprinkled throughout the story.
The characters were an absolute highlight for me. Cybil was wonderfully spunky, full of sass, and impossible not to root for. Her banter with Ben made every scene entertaining, especially because neither of them was willing to let the other win. I absolutely adore romances where the characters are constantly trying to outwit and outmaneuver each other, and this book delivered that dynamic perfectly.
One of the things I appreciated most was how Walters created such strong chemistry between the characters while keeping the romance clean. The connection between Ben and Cybil felt genuine, fun, and full of tension without relying on explicit content. Combined with the many laugh-out-loud moments, it made this such an enjoyable read.
What makes this even more impressive is that I picked up the book knowing almost nothing about it—I chose it based solely on the title and the author. It turned out to be one of those delightful surprises that completely exceeded my expectations.
In fact, I enjoyed the story so much that within a week of finishing the book, I downloaded the audiobook so I could experience it again. The narrators did a fantastic job bringing the characters and humor to life.
If you enjoy romantic suspense with witty banter, clean romance, engaging characters, and a fun spy-movie vibe, Spies, Lies and Alibis is one I highly recommend.
