Three and a half stars
Match Play by Merline Lovelace is the twelfth in the Code Name: Danger series from Silhouette Romantic Suspense but stands alone just fine (I read it without having read any of the others in the series). In it, secret operative Dayna Duncan has the chance to exercise her athletic side when her next assignment is to guard a golf star. She's one cool character who's honed her game face over years of public events, including several Olympic wins. Of course the one who can possibly rattle her is her ex, fighter pilot Luke Harper.
Merline Lovelace deftly juggles the page-turning plot while giving us the chance to see whether these two have a fighting chance this time around. Great storytelling!

OUTSTANDING! Luke and Dayna make a good team and I hope to see more of them in this series but more important secondary characters Gillian Ridgeway and Hawk are headed for a showdown. This series just continues to impress me.

I don't understand golf, but I love the thrill given by the description and surrounding.
The fast-paced story and the mission; but at the end I don't expect it to be ended that abruptly. But, as there are series to this novel, maybe I could hope to read about them in other book..
