“I love you, too,” she said in a somber tone. “I think. I’m pretty sure, though. It’s scary, isn’t it?”“Damn terrifying.” He dropped the pen he’d been using to figure the square footage of the rooms and turned in his chair so he could haul her down onto his lap. “I thought we’d just have some fun to...
Pretty typical novel with a heroine kills a bad guy. Lily Mansfield is a hired assassin, who has worked for the CIA most of her working life. She had friends and almost a daughter, but they were killed, she's looking for revenge but after the revenge she has to live. Lucas Swain is a CIA agent se...
I'm giving two stars to this book because it was intellectually dishonest. Am I supposed to believe that a person who chooses to become an assassin for a living is a good person? I couldn't believe the justifications of the main character. She wasn't haunted by the lives she had taken because she ho...
I usually like to read about CIA agents and their espionage. But Kiss Me While I Sleep doesn't seems to hold my interest. The plot is too descriptive. I like to know what the characters are thinking in their head, but this is just too much. We read a lot about what the heroin 'planning' to do,'going...
The espionage in this romantic suspense was great but the romance started so late, they hadn't even met in the first third of the story, and there was lots of mental speculation about their relationship. Lily does jobs for CIA but makes an unauthorized killing for personal reasons so CIA agent Swai...
The only reason I gave this book 2 stars is because of the mystery line. I've missed reading thrillers and I was curious to find out what would happen in the end. However, the love line was hopeless. It was... words fail me, actually. Words are not able to describe just how implausible, ridiculous a...
Actual rating 4.5 starsI just have one complaint with the book - WHERE IS JOHN MEDINA? Honestly i was hoping to get a bit of action from the super-spy, even if just a teensy bit. Not that the book wasn't good. It was awesome, maybe the best Linda Howard book I have read so far. The suspense kept me ...
An experienced female assassin with a heart of gold, walks off the reservation one day and plinks the man who killed her only friends. CIA send in a Texan operator who has a penchant for fast and sexy cars to remind her that it's not a good idea to leave the reservation...did I mention he also has a...
Another fun Linda Howard read. This one is part of the John Medina series, which I didn't realize until later. It doesn't have much to do with him except that it's set in the same world of CIA espionage at the other books in the series. The general story was intriguing - a rogue spy out to get reve...
interesting characters and great chemistry save the plot from jumping the shark.
