THE SPY WHO WANTS ME
by Lucy Monroe
3rd book in The Goddard Project series
Trade Paperback
Kensington Brava - January 2009
Secret Agent Elle Gray looks like a super model, fights like Bruce Lee, and even has a fully functioning brain. She works for a super secret government organization that even most Presidents have never heard of. The mission of this organization is to preserve US advancements in technology and science.
Beau Ruston is a former college football hero who chose science over the NFL. He is informed by his mentor and superior that Elle is coming in the guise of a security expert. They are the only ones who know she is really a secret agent and they are not to let anybody else in on the information.
Beau hates liars and to him coming in and lying about who she is makes Elle a liar. But the hard-on just a picture of her gives him makes him decide that although he will not have a relationship with a liar he will get laid.
Then there are the secondary characters.
Matej, Elle's scientist brother who just started working for the company, and the woman he deflowered in college and then dropped the next day but has decided 10 years later is the one woman for him, Chantal. They are also major part of the story.
Lady Mischief enjoyed this book. The characters were likable in a very surface kind of way.
Chantal forgave Mat far too easily for all the heartbreak she suffered after his early rejection. Without throwing any spoilers into the mix the Lady will say this, Chantal was in trouble and needed help, but even so, she should have held his balls over the fire for a bit before giving him a HEA.
Matej brougnt Chantel to Elle, who could provide the help only she provide, and since it was Elle's job she would have provided it whether Chantal was with Matej or not.
While reading this book Lady was struck by how much time and page space was devoted to the secondary characters. Although Lady did not actually count the pages, it felt as if the pages were almost equally divided between the four characters.
Lady would rather have seen less of Mat and Chantal and more of Beau and Elle. There were times when Lady had to check the back cover blurb to see who the book was suppose to be about.
The book moves smoothly along. There are no slow spots. The "down" times have humor to hold the reader in the book rather than skipping ahead or turning on the television.
Stock the freezer with ice treats before you read this one. The sensuality level is HOT.
