Rating: Summary: Not her best,but enjoyable none the less Review: I have read other books in this series and frankly was expecting more. Josh is a great character and I was glad that he got his own story,but for the life of me I couldn't understand his attraction for shy,mousey Amanda. Yes,she had gone through some bad times in the past year,but she remainded just a little too bland and needy. Also I am really tired of over-aged virgins. Fortunatly, I don't think that Ms.Hayes could write a bad book and I did enjoy this one,but not as much as I expected to. Read it,but go get the others.They were awesome!
Rating: Summary: Enjoyable read Review: Joshua Carter is an undercover agent who has built up a James Bond-like persona as part of his cover - the suave, sophisticated playboy. This is why shy, "plain" secretary Amanda Wainwright can't believe that he's serious about wanting her. Besides, she believes in love and marriage, while his past has made him gun-shy of both. In the midst of the danger they face because of Joshua's undercover work, they learn to accept each other.Although it does have some element of external conflict, mainly to do with Joshua's occupation, much of the book is focused on the relationship of the hero and heroine, their emotions, their fears and their desires. Until this book, I haven't read any books of Sally Tyler Hayes, and only decided to read this one because it received a very high rating in the Romantic Times magazine (4 1/2 stars Gold, I think). I'm glad that I decided to do so because I really enjoyed it. I found myself relating a lot to Amanda - her insecurities and fears. It was light and easy to read - great for unwinding after a long, tiring day at the office! I look forward to reading the, Her Secret Guardian (June 2000), which is about another agent, Sean Patrick Douglass, wo makes an appearance towards the end of the book.
Rating: Summary: THE SPY WHO LOVED ME Review: Joshua Carter is practically American royalty. The gorgeous, rich son of an ambassador, he lives a jet-setting life that seems to be all about pleasure and self-indulgence. But there's more to Josh than meets the eye. Like the fact that he's a spy for a top-secret government agency. Sweet, innocent Amanda Wainwright knows that about him. After all, she works with him. She's a secretary at his office, and she's seen the way Josh goes through women. So she's never taken anything he said to her seriously. But Josh isn't kidding where Amanda's concerned. After one, sweet, steamy, stolen kiss long ago, he's got it bad for her. And one day -- when an accidental encounter draws her into his dangerous world and there's no one to protect her but him -- he'll find a way to show her exactly how he feels. I hope you enjoy this book and my previous spy books, DANGEROUS TO LOVE and SPIES, LIES & LOVERS. Coming in June is Sean Patrick Douglass' story, HER SECRET GUARDIAN.
Rating: Summary: "Move over James Bond... Review: Make way for Joshua Carter, the slickest, smoothest, sexiest spy to hit the sheets in years. Sally Tyler Hayes was truly inspired when she created this dashing W.I.S.H. hero for CINDERELLA AND THE SPY (4 1/2 Gold Medal) from Intimate Moments. He's everything you would want in a lover and much, much more." --Melinda Helfer
Rating: Summary: a great sensual book Review: This is a great sensual book. I loved the sexual tension between Josh and Amanda.
Rating: Summary: A fun read! Review: This is my first book by Hayes and I bought it because of the review she received in Romantic Times. I wasn't disappointed. It moves quickly and has a hero and a heroine you feel for. The only problem I had was that the black moment wasn't so black. It sort of left me flat. I kept thinking I'd find another one before the end, but I didn't. It was the sweetest black moment I've ever read though. Buy it, read it, you won't be disappointed.

Rating: Summary: Very Good Review: This was a wonderful story. I liked both Josh and Amanda very much. Amanda was a bit TOO naive, but you could see how she and the worldly Josh were so drawn to each other. It would have been nice to see a bit more of the villain. The 'dangerous mission' never seemed that worrisome. The relationship between Josh and Amanda was filled with emotion and doubts. They make a very romantic couple. GOOD READ! KCS
