Jane Spyrus is a weapons and spy technology designer for B.L.I.S.S., a spy agency. She is very dedicated to her work and hasn't been dating much. She lives with her grandmother, Maggie, who was a B.L.I.S.S. agent before she was hurt in an accident and is now confined to a wheelchair. When Jane cannot see to her, their neighbour Edie Andretti takes care of Maggie. After a rather disconcerting day at work, as Jane comes home, Edie says she's going on a hot date, which is surprising since Edie hadn't mentioned seeing anyone. The following day, Edie's He expected his sister to meet him at the airport but she never showed up; this is not like her. Then Jane remembers Edie saying that she had noticed unusual goings on at work. Jane doesn't waste a minute; she, Abel, Maggie and her dog, along with Edie's cat get in the van to find Abel's sister, who is wearing an unusual tracking device of Jane's invention.

What a wild ride it is! In THE LOVING DAYLIGHTS, the very talented Lynsay Sands tackles the spying world and it's a winner! Ms. Sands is a master at world building and creating unforgettable characters and THE LOVING DAYLIGHTS has all that, not to mention her trademark humour. Jane's weapons are a source of merriment all through the book, such as her new mini missile launchers, which come in the form of neon pink vibrators; and yet the silly weapons blend right into the story and are significant to the goings-on; only Ms. Sands could get away with some of those outrageous things.

The characters are engaging, totally believable even when facing the most outlandish situations, and the funniest I've seen in quite a while, and there is a great chemistry between Abel and Jane; they're a lovely couple. Ms. Sands spins a fast-paced, solid suspense while adding several laugh-out-loud moments, a few of them involving the dog from hell.

Ms. Sand's writing is elegant, she excels at dialogues, but where she really shines is being able to successfully combine a really good suspense, all that zaniness which at times borders on bad taste, but never quite crosses the line. I hadn't had that much fun in quite a while. THE LOVING DAYLIGHTS would appear to be the first in a series, and I hope it's the case because I would definitely want to read more about those characters!
