Publisher Description
He'd be a terrible spy.
But he might make a good husband.
Call him Teague. Finn Teague. A jack-of-all-trades, he's been everything from ski instructor to cook, but he's always craved a job that wouldn't bore the living daylights out of him. He longs to be a shaken-not-stirred kind of guy but knows it'll never happen. Currently a lawyer, Double-Oh-No spends most of his time in his L.A. apartment, ogling his two gorgeous neighbors -- a view to a thrill -- and fantasizing that he's a secret agent.
Amber Robinson, an elite operative for a top-secret government agency, is tracking a suspected terrorist's mistress. Her hunky neighbor Finn seems to be doing the same and Amber suspects he's a spy -- just a very, very bad one. Setting out to seduce him and crack his secret identity (yes, she has the best job ever) Amber unwittingly takes Finn on a passion-filled, high-stakes adventure that'll teach him to never say never again.
USA Today bestselling author Julie Kenner presents a hilarious and sexy spy caper full of intoxicating, for-your-eyes-only romance!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Formerly a freewheeling jack-of-all-trades, 37-year-old Phineus Teague is now a corporate lawyer whose real world of tedious paperwork can't compete with his escapist fantasy life as dashing espionage agent Python. But Finn soon learns that dreams can be deadly when his klutzy role-playing ignites the suspicions of two neighbors: the woman he pretends is his exotic nemesis "Tatiana" (and who's actually a genuine villainess scheming to steal a super-weapon from one of Finn's corporate clients), and dishwater-dull Amber Robinson, a real-life Bond Girl on a mission to foil the theft. While an initial overload of goofy details (i.e., organization names like S.C.U.M. and 007-type secret weapons) threaten to keep the plot at parody level, elegant character development eventually wins out. An ample dose of hot sex satisfies the book's romance genre requirements, but the author's flair for fast-paced suspense and sparkling, snappy dialogue enables the book to move past its romance roots and appeal to a wider readership. Cameo appearances by characters from Kenner's previous romantic intrigue, Nobody But You, will please her fans, and action that literally doesn't let up till the last page should keep readers returning for more.
