Mari is a British spy who knows her limits. When she decides
to call it quits after a near miss with death, which was
quite the debacle, she finds that it is not so easy to
simply quit being a spy. Major Bennett is enlisted to keep
Mari in line and see her job through to the end. Mari is not
a woman who likes being watched, particularly while she's on
the job, creating more than a few humorous situations.
Mari fits what I expect a spy to look and act like. She is
brave under pressure and intelligent. She manages to
captivate attention and hold my interest. Bennett is brave
and determined to fulfill his duty by Mari. He keeps her
safe, but represses her ability to do her job. He completely
infuriates her, but she finds him slightly endearing after a
while. For a seasoned spy, this could be a conundrum.
Anna Randol has beautifully refreshed a story line that has
been the focus of many books I adore. The characters truly
appear to feel for each other. It is fun watching Bennett
and Mari's relationship and belief in each other grow over
the course of the novel. I enjoyed Randol's choice to place
the heroine in a position of power, especially in a time
when that was so rare. A SECRET IN HER KISS is a great
addition to any To-Read pile.
A rare beauty, raised in the exotic heart of the mysterious
East, Mari Sinclair knows it’s time to end her career as a
British spy when she narrowly avoids a brush with death.
Unfortunately, there are those who think otherwise—and they
are not above using blackmail to keep Mari in the game.
Saddled with a handsome, duty-obsessed "minder" to ensure
that she completes—and survives—one last mission, Mari is
incensed . . . for her guardian, Major Bennett Prestwood,
is simply too dedicated, too unbending, and too disarmingly
attractive. But in the face of dark secrets and deadly
treacheries, as the true peril to Mari is slowly revealed,
loyal soldier Bennett realizes that to save and win this
extraordinary woman, he will have to do the unthinkable and
break the rules—rules that passion and desire have
suddenly, irrevocably changed.
