From Publishers Weekly

Formerly a freewheeling jack-of-all-trades, 37-year-old Phineus Teague is now a corporate lawyer whose real world of tedious paperwork can't compete with his escapist fantasy life as dashing espionage agent Python. But Finn soon learns that dreams can be deadly when his klutzy role-playing ignites the suspicions of two neighbors: the woman he pretends is his exotic nemesis "Tatiana" (and who's actually a genuine villainess scheming to steal a super-weapon from one of Finn's corporate clients), and dishwater-dull Amber Robinson, a real-life Bond Girl on a mission to foil the theft. While an initial overload of goofy details (i.e., organization names like S.C.U.M. and 007-type secret weapons) threaten to keep the plot at parody level, elegant character development eventually wins out. An ample dose of hot sex satisfies the book's romance genre requirements, but the author's flair for fast-paced suspense and sparkling, snappy dialogue enables the book to move past its romance roots and appeal to a wider readership. Cameo appearances by characters from Kenner's previous romantic intrigue, Nobody But You, will please her fans, and action that literally doesn't let up till the last page should keep readers returning for more.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Sequel to "Nobody But You" -- Very highly recommended, Jui 25 2004
Par C. Penn "WordWeaving" (Greenville, SC) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
A malevolent plot intends to use a top-secret laser for wealth and revenge. Operatives Amber Robinson and her partner Brandon are assigned the case. Amber has been with the Unit since she was fifteen. It has become her family as well as providing the latest and greatest tools technology offers. She believes that she would never give up her spy world for anyone or anything; that is, until Amber and Brandon track terrorist mercenary Drake's girlfriend Diana to a apartment complex. Then Finn catches her attention.

Soon Amber realizes she is not the only one observing Diana. Neighbor Phineus "Finn" Teague watches Diana from his window as well. Little does he suspect that his innocent musings, daydreams of becoming Agent Python, will lead him into a dangerous world of spies and espionage. Suddenly his innocuous wishes to escape boring depositions and overburdening student loans lead to life of intrigue beyond that which he imagined. Now he will do anything to protect the spy he loves.

Julie Kenner's superb gift for storytelling dazzles in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. With so many books on the market, readers are hard put to find author's who distinctive style brings them back again and again. But Kenner is one of those authors who's artful humor and the fully developed characters bring her stories vividly alive, even in the seemingly contradictory blend of fantasy and reality. Whether she is writing about superheroes or spies, Kenner creates tales that consistently charm and intrigue. THE SPY WHO LOVED ME come very highly recommended.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A "Keeper"!, Mai 31 2004
Par Detra Fitch (USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Phineus "Finn" Teague is a 37 year-old lawyer who hates his job. He often fantasizes about being a super spy. Dangerous missions, wild women, and saving the world would be all in a day's work. Instead, Finn is a jack-of-all-trades type of person. The closest he's ever come to spy work was computer hacking, and that is all behind him now. Even though Finn should be doing his paperwork, he finds himself staring at the gorgeous new neighbor and daydreaming.

Amber Robinson is an elite operative for a government agency, Unit 7. She and Brandon are keeping tabs on a former Navy SEAL and Black Ops commander gone bad and his current flame, Diana Traynor. Finn is an unknown player to Amber and Brandon. His background check screams civilian, but he is keeping a very close eye on Diana. Was he a civilian, an agent with a deep cover, or has a third party entered the picture? Amber would have to stick very close to him to find out.

***** This book is as outrageous as watching a James Bond 007 movie! Danger lurks in the back ground throughout the entire story and how I love all those spy gadgets! The action and romances builds quickly (I found myself on the edge of my seat more than once while reading) and the climatic ending is awesome! This is a Keeper! *****

5.0étoiles sur 5 Tongue in cheek, Jane Bond espionage romantic suspense, Mai 26 2004
Par Harriet Klausner - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
In Los Angeles, thirty-seven years old attorney Phineus "Finn" Teague detests his current work that leaves him bored even at its most exciting moments. Instead he hides inside his apartment dreaming of being a super agent saving the world and getting the girl in an eight hour job. However, his daydreams dramatically change as he lusts over his neighbor Diana Traynor.

Amber Robinson works undercover for a top secret government agency. She and her partner Brandon are tracking Drake, terrorist mercenary by tailing his girlfriend, Diana. Amber has even moved into the same complex. When Finn seems to be everywhere especially when it comes to Diana, Amber wonders if he is a bad spy though his background check states civilian lawyer. She decides to seduce the truth out what appears to be a wild card operative not realizing that he will take her to some place she never has been before: love.

THE SPY WHO LOVED ME takes Walter Mitty and places him inside a James (make that Jane) Bond-like thriller complete with beautiful babes, wacky wizardry, a vile villain, and a stupendous spy story. Amber is a wonderful protagonist while Finn is a bungler who quickly learns reality is a lot different than dreaming or game playing. Yet he will risk his life if it means Amber is safe. Tongue in cheek, readers will appreciate Julie Kenner's espionage romantic suspense tale.
