Fields’ Rule #1: Don’t fall for the enemy.
Berry Fields is not looking for a boyfriend. She’s busy trailing cheaters and liars in her job as a private investigator, collecting evidence of the affairs she’s sure all men commit. And thanks to a pepper spray incident during an eighth grade game of spin the bottle, the guys at her school are not exactly lining up to date her, either.
So when arrogant—and gorgeous—Tanner Halston rolls into town and calls her “nothing amazing,” it’s no loss for Berry. She’ll forget him in no time. She’s more concerned with the questions surfacing about her mother’s death.
But why does Tanner seem to pop up everywhere in her investigation, always getting in her way? Is he trying to stop her from discovering the truth, or protecting her from an unknown threat? And why can’t Berry remember to hate him when he looks into her eyes?
With a playful nod to Jane Austen, Spies and Prejudice will captivate readers as love and espionage collide.
Spies and Prejudice by Talia Vance
Oh my gosh, this book sounds AMAZING! Cute, funny, interesting, contemporary, mystery… with a Jane Austen twist? How freaking cool is that??
So I had never heard of this book and now I can’t wait to read it because it sounds so much like me. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
I’ve seen this around before, and I agree that it sounds very funny and something new at the same time. I hope it’ll live up to all our expectations.
My WoW
Ooooh, I like the sound of this one. Not liking the cover though.
Aww, really? I like the cover! 😀
This looks so cool! I’m am loving this new trend of retellings – especially Jane Austen ones. 🙂
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. YES YES YES YES YES! I have been SO excited for this one!! It looks so amazing and so fun and just eep! And you can never go wrong with good old Jane Austen. 😀
No WOW for me this week, but I’ll be back on next week!

I love the sound of this one too! I’m super excited for its release, plus I love the Jane Austen influence it has. Great pick!
OMG yes! I want this book so freaking bad! I actually requested it and got an email back from the publisher right away saying that they would be shipping out my copy right away. This was over two months ago 🙁 Maybe I’ll try again…
I’ve been on a YA bum for a while but this is one of the ones I am really looking forward to.
BTW- I read your review of the Isadora book. What a freaking bummer. I’ve been waiting for that book ever since I read Paranormalcy and she would blog about this book all the time. Then I saw the cover and wanted it even more. I won’t be reading it though. I LOVE Egyptian mythology but it has to be a part of the story, not an afterthought.
If you want to read a really good Egyptian mythology book, you might like this one (plus it’s an NA book!):

Aww I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t gotten your ARC! 🙁 That’s a huge bummer! Fingers crossed that they still send it out!
And I know, I’m SO bummed about The Chaos of Stars! I wasn’t crazy about Mind Games but I gave TCoS a chance because I love love love Egyptian mythology and it sounded cool.. so I was disappointed when it fell flat for me. 🙁
Thank you so much for the book suggestion!! I’ll definitely add that to my pile. 🙂 And go stalk your review, of course.
I don’t even participate in WoW anymore but I look forward to yours in my mailbox every week 😀 I always find the BEST new books from you!!
Aw, thanks Lauren! 😀 I’m so glad you enjoy them!
