Lovers Under Cover #3
No One But You
When undercover cop Matt Guiliani arrived at the Bar Naught ranch in the dead of night to sting a vigilante leader, he got the biggest surprise of his career: His prey was already dead... and Matt was staring down the double-barreled shotgun of the beautiful and frightened Fiona Halsey.
With a sinfully sexy body and sass to spare, Fiona was no innocent. But how she was connected with the murder or the secret organization, Matt wasn't sure. He only knew that Fiona was the one woman to scale the walls of his impenetrable defenses. Yet to let down his guard in this assignment, with Fiona, would be costly. Because this time it would mean his heart...if not his life.

Carly Bishop completes her Lovers Under Cover trilogy in "No One But You." Undercover agent Matt Guiliani is infiltrating a militia leader's ranch when the man is murdered. When it becomes clear the local police are intent on framing Fiona Halsey for the crime, Matt can't stand by. Fiona doesn't trust this man who's suddenly defending her. She suspects he's the killer himself! Matt has no idea Fiona has some deep secrets of her own. How will he react when he discovers who this mystery woman really is?
I had mixed feelings about "No One But You." There are several very good things about it, and several very big problems too. This is the third book in a trilogy and it does not stand on its own. The characters from the other books keep showing up in this one. Unless you are interested in knowing what's happened to them since their own stories, their appearances are distracting and don't serve much purpose here. This will be rewarding to readers who read those books. Anyone else won't get much out of it. The storyline is also a direct followup to events in the first two books. The author makes a brief attempt at summarizing what's happened before, but it will be hard to understand unless you've read the other books. I have, but it's been over a year since book two came out and I was confused. A bigger problem is how the events in this book often are confusing on their own. The storytelling is sometimes muddled and it's hard to tell what's going on at times. In the end, I had a general idea what the entire story was about, but I would have a hard time explaining the individual details.
That is not to say I didn't enjoy parts of "No One But You." The case the undercover agents have been investigating in all three books takes on an international aspect in this book, which is a nice change from most Intrigues. Fiona is also a British heroine with a fresh, unique life history. In spite of the ranch setting, the story feels unique because of these different elements Bishop adds to her story, which is always nice. Though the story as a whole is sometimes hard to follow, some isolated scenes work very well.
I can't recommend this book, not on its own anyway. Anyone interested in "No One But You" should buy "No Baby But Mine" and "No Bride But His" first and read them back-to-back-to-back, or reread the others first.

Matt is stubborn, so is Fiona, so they bang heads a few times. I like Matt's gumption, he improvises and never gives up. Fiona only wants one thing and she'll do anything to get it. A twist at the end, very nice surprise.
