Nobody Does It Better

Lust In Translation #4

by Jennifer LaBrecque

Schoolteacher Holly Smith is on a mission. The objective? To find her long-lost mother. The setting? Venice, city of supersensuous delights. When an encounter with a suave, unbelievably tempting English tour guide attempts to derail her focus, Holly lets herself be distracted. After all, the man has very talented fingers. And lips. And, oh God, his tongue…

Undercover spy Gage Carswell is in Venice tracking a notorious agent. And he's keeping her under his personal, up-close surveillance. Each mouthwatering inch of her. But the more he gets to know Holly, the more he knows she isn't his target. Except in bed, that is…

About the author

First, let me say this is how I show up at my desk every morning to write. Dahling, I couldn’t possibly write a word unless I was wearing 3-inch heels with a Martini at hand. NOT!!! But it’s so different, and face it, infinitely less scarey than the way I usually work, running shorts and t-shirt with a cup of tea nearby, that I had to put this picture up.

I’ve been an avid reader ever since I was growing up on a farm in south Georgia. At that time I dreamed of writing poetry while living in The Big Apple and traveling the world. Fast forward, bypassing lots of not-so-glamourous jobs such as barbeque joint waitress, telemarketer, and corporate numbers cruncher, to today’s reality. I write contemporary romance, live in The Big Peach (ya know, Atlanta), and I’m working on the world travel.

I actually live in the suburbs with my husband, daughter, three cats, two rescue greyhounds, and chihuahua who bosses the whole house.

Writing is one of the best jobs in the world and one of the most miserable–depending on which day you’re asking. However, obviously the best outweighs the most miserable or I wouldn’t be working on that next book. So, here’s the straight skinny on the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.

Undercover spy, Gage Carsell, is sent to be Holly Smith's tour guide and stick to her like glue untill he gets evidence to prove she the notorious agent that has been escaping their clutches. But as he shows her around and after one encounter, Gage is positive Holly is not the agent they are looking for. Right when he is ordered to leave, he connects the dots and rushes back to rescue Holly from the real notorious agent. But when Holly buts the breaks on their week long romance they go back to their own lives. The reunion was sweet and well written. This was one of the best romance written books.

An ordinary woman with extraordinary eyes has a week-long affair with a British secret agen posing as a tour guide in Venice. Whew - what a plot! Of course, there's a case of mistaken identity, emotional trauma from the past, a lovesick Siamese cat, and a villainess whose really just misunderstood. Gotta love Harlequin! And a good, enjoyable read.

a spy who's sinfully wealthy . . . I may have to give up category romance for a while.

Ok book. Thought it dragged in places and found myself skimming parts.
