"A sensual reading experience"
Tired of working undercover, FBI agent Carter Sinclair
wants a desk job. His superior informs him that if he
completes one more assignment successfully, he will be
transferred to the position of Special Agent in Charge of a
field office. However, once he learns who his partner is,
Carter reconsiders whether the job is worth the cost of
partnering with Agent Tori Lowell, whose report linked
blackmail schemes involving the Kama Resort near Santa
Barbara. Tori always wanted to go undercover, but until this
assignment she never received the opportunity. She blames
a tryst with Carter when they attended the academy together
and wants to avoid a repetition of her only mistake in
life. However, this is her chance to prove she belongs in
the real field and not behind a desk as an analyst though
she is quite good at the latter. As Tori and Carter act
like newlyweds while investigating the Kama Resort, they
fall in love. Carter wants Tori at his side forever.
However, Tori's ambition and her need to emulate her father
may prove stronger than her need for her beloved. Though the lead couple go undercover as operatives at the
sex spa, the title is more for their work under the sheets
together as the story line is much more romance than police
procedural. The lead duet is a delight though readers will
wonder why Tori is dissatisfied with her desk work (perhaps
she never sees the fruit of her labor as is common with big
companies and government agencies). Fans will relish Julie
Kenner's sexually heated tale starring two UNDERCOVER
LOVERS. Harriet Klausner
