I bought this book myself. Opinions are my own.

One night. One Christmas wish. One killer on the loose.
Unlucky in love, Lilly Hart regrets volunteering to cover the New York CIA intelligence desk on Christmas Eve. That is until field operative Dylan Fox—the swoonworthy spy she’s spent far too many hours daydreaming about—dials in requesting her assistance. But before Lilly can explain his life is in imminent danger, their call is cut short, and it’s up to Lilly to dash through Manhattan and find him before it’s too late.
Dylan Fox can’t believe his luck when a gorgeous brunette crashes into him on the sidewalk and drags him into a crowded, dark bar. But when he realizes it’s none other than Lilly Hart, the intelligence analyst with the sweet voice he’s fantasized about for three long years, he thinks all his Christmases have come at once. Although, with an assassin on their heels, it could be a rendezvous to remember for all the wrong reasons.

After reading ‘The Hit’ a few weeks ago, I knew I wanted to read more books by this author. So when I saw that there was a novella available in this series, I knew I wanted to read it as soon as possible.

In ‘The Rescue’ we read about Lily Hart and Dylan Fox. Lily volunteered to cover the New York CIA intelligence desk on Christmas Eve, because she simply didn’t have any plans. When her favorite field operative Dylan Fox calls for assistance thinks seem to look up a bit. Lily has been daydreaming about Dylan for a long time, but they never met before. All they do, and they do it often, is call. Dylan doesn’t even know what Lily looks like. But when Lily finds out Dylan might be in danger, and no one is available to assist, she decides to help him out herself. From the moment they meet it is clear, the connection they had on the telephone is even more intense in real life.

‘The Rescue’ was a fun short novella that I really enjoyed reading. If I didn’t already had plans to read more books by Julie, I sure would have now, because this book leaves you wanting more. Lily and Dylan have this fun friendship, that has only ever been through the phone. And when they do finally meet the chemistry between them is undeniable.

I loved how the author made me love this characters so much in only such a short time. And I’m even more determined to continue reading this series now.
