Summary: Too short
Review: This is another in the series of books about Denise Cleever, secret agent for the Australian government. It has the typical McNab development, there is a problem, Cleever goes undercover to solve it and meets a woman she shouldn't be attracted to, but can't help herself. Actually, the book is good SHORT reading and that's the point. The book is only 180+ pages long and there isn't a lot of character development. If you're looking for short escapism, McNab will never disappoint you, but her books are just too short and don't contain enough story in them. Now that the market in lesbian literature is expanding, she's dropping into the second tier of authors. Naiad was famous for publishing short novels like this, but those days are rapidly disappearing. McNab needs to catch up to the times.
