Spies Don't Fall for Their Neighbor

I started listening to this expecting a lighthearted fling wrapped in spy tropes, but Easton’s script—delivered with razor-sharp timing by Rusty Mewha and Hallie Bee Bard—elevated it into something far more satisfying. Mewha’s narration of the male lead, Jude, is a masterclass in dry charm; his delivery of lines like *“I don’t do feelings, but apparently, I do you”* had me laughing out loud in my car. Bard’s performance as the heroine, London, balances wit with warmth, making her frustration with Jude’s secrecy as palpable as her eventual exasperated affection. The production design is seamless, with subtle soundscapes enhancing the spy vibe without ever overwhelming the dialogue. My only critique? The pacing lags slightly in the middle act when the plot leans too heavily on setup rather than payoff, but the payoff arrives with such force in the final third that it’s easy to forgive. The chemistry here isn’t just palpable—it’s electric, and the audiobook’s runtime flies by because you’ll be too busy grinning (or groaning) at the banter to notice the clock. If clean rom-coms with a side of espionage intrigue are your jam, this is a near-flawless listen—just don’t blame me if you end up rewinding the last chapter three times to relive the big confession.
