I Spy (Berkley Sensation)

Rating:
Summary: delightful investigate romance
Review: Joe McConnell CEO, of McConnell Aerospace, believes that a member of his executive board is selling secrets not just as an espionage spy to a rival company but to a foreign government. He hires former FBI agent Aimee Devlin of Partners in Crime to ferret out the culprit amongst his inner eight. Pretending to be an executive assistant, Aimee soon hones in on the newest member of the inner sanctum, CFO Race Gardner, who acts suspiciously.

At the same time that Aimee focuses in on Race, he pays extra attention to her as an undercover CIA agent trying to figure out who is selling secrets to the enemy. Aimee acts the most suspiciously. Quickly both realize the other is an operative and soon they combine their resources to uncover the traitor even as they fall in love.

As with DANGEROUS CURVES, the first Partners in Crime tale, I SPY is a delightful investigate romance starring two likeable protagonists. Aimee's reason for leaving the Feds is simply that her real hourly rate was below the minimum wage, something that Race can commiserate with. The who-done-it is cleverly handled so that the audience will wonder until the final altercation as prime suspects keep changing with new evidence surfacing. Jacey Ford writes a fabulous suspense laden thriller that will keep readers interested form start to finish.
