Lily Vale is on a mission to take down the psychotic and
evil assassin, Jude St. Laurent. She is also an assassin who
works for SHADO, the same covert homeland security agency
St. Laurent was a part of. Lily despises Jude because she
believes he is responsible for killing her gentle father and
many other innocent Americans. Her superior, Robert Dietz
has kept Jude alive for his own personal reasons that Lily
is not all that aware of. It is believed that Jude has
secret computer files on weapons of mass destruction that
cannot fall into the wrong hands. Dietz has erased Jude's
memory for the sole purpose of getting Lily working as
Jude's personal assistant to find the missing files and
poison Jude where he'll hopefully die a horrible and painful
death.
Jude has a great deal of short term memory loss. All he
knows is that he was in a car accident, which made him
legally blind. He has horrible headaches and suffers from
depression where he spends his days working on his erotic
paintings and seducing his models. Along with his friend,
and sometimes lover and live in chef Liam O'Neil, he has a
life of privilege and decadence anyone would wish for. Until
he can regain his memory, the darkness he tries to keep away
begins to consume him. Things may change for the better when
Lily comes into his life. Jude knows she is a keeper when
she doesn't even bat an eyelash at his over-the-top sexual
antics.
As Lily grows closer to Jude, she is very confused, because
he doesn't seem to be the cold blooded killer she believes
him to be. With Dietz breathing down her neck to get the job
done, Lily must decide to either kill Jude, let him live or
do her own investigating, because nothing is what it seems
and one wrong move on her end could get her killed.
I SPY A WICKED SIN had its moments of titillating love
scenes but overall in the majority of them I didn't feel the
chemistry. Jude seems to come across as one-dimensional and
his emotional outbursts are more like those of a spoiled
rich boy. Lily is not much better--from the moment she spies
Jude with one of his many women. Even though she is playing
a role, her actions are very confusing.
This supposed espionage tale is lite on excitement even
though Jude must be the best multi-tasker alive because not
only was he a deadly assassin who was never caught, but
still had enough free time to create priceless works of art.
I was really expecting so much more with I SPY A WICKED SIN,
but it really failed to deliver.
The author of When Alex Was Bad and The
Firefighters of Station Five series provides another
titillating two-pronged mission: seduce...and eliminate.
Jude St. Laurent is a former assassin for
SHADO, a covert homeland security agency. After a mysterious
accident, he's lost all memory of his former life, and
embraces his new identity as a hedonistic artist. But when
he's haunted by visions of the past, he turns to his new
personal assistant for help-and she knows just how to make
him forget.
Jude doesn't know that Lily Vale is a
secret agent who uses sex to manipulate her targets-and
always gets her man. But her mission takes a turn when Lily
realizes that there's more to this case, and Jude, than
meets the eye. If she's going to save them both, she'll have
to find out who's pulling the strings...
