Publisher Description
When a beautiful hotel investigator teams up with an irresistible Navy SEAL, going undercover could take them over the top . . .
Two FBI agents are dead. A top-secret government lab animal has been stolen. Now Hawk MacKenzie just walked in on a naked woman in his hotel shower. She says she’s royalty and has the attitude to match. Whether this arousing female is a true blue-blood or not, the combat-trained Navy SEAL isn’t letting her out of his sight.
Actually a hotel investigator in disguise, Jess Mulcahey can’t believe she’s being held against her will by this gorgeous commando who’s about to blow her cover. Lucky for her, she’s good at narrow escapes. But just when she hits the road, dodging bullets and outwitting cold-blooded pursuers, her luck bottoms out . . . and Hawk is her only hope of protection. A few stolen hours in a stalled elevator show Jess a different, more sensual side to the hard-edged SEAL. Now the two are closing in on their missing government secrets and trying hard to ignore their memories. . . . But they’re about to discover that the most dangerous revelations come from an unguarded heart. . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This slim but action-packed sequel to Skye's previous romance, Code Name: Nanny, stars navy SEAL Hawk MacKenzie and hotel investigator Jess Mulcahey (sister to FBI agent Summer Mulcahey, the heroine from Nanny). The pair come together under tumultuous circumstances when Jess, pretending to be minor royalty, bribes a hotel manager into upgrading her to a nicer room, which turns out to be Hawk's digs. Although the hotel has changed locks, it doesn't deter Hawk, who gains entry with a "highly illicit piece of technology" and catches her in the shower a plot twist used in Skye's last book. Hawk is hot on the trail of a stolen government lab animal, and Jess is afraid the hotel staff will seek revenge on her for a bad review. Neither has the time or patience for the other's drama, but they are thrown together time and again in the genre's usual fashion chasing the bad guys through the fog and rain of Washington State's Olympic Peninsula, easing sexual tension in a stalled hotel elevator and tracking down the lab animal, an adorable koala bear. The pace is frenzied at times, and the characters lack depth (all of Skye's navy SEALS are "poster boys for commando work," and her heroine is a typical beauty with tough-girl feistiness). But the story's snappy dialogue and between-the-sheets sizzle will please Skye's numerous fans.

Love it
I love her code name books. When I pick it up I have to be ready for a long stay where I'm at because once I start I can't put the book down then when I'm done I'm sad it's over! Hopefully she has many more to come absolutely love them!
Cute
Not what I expected. The best part is the elevator incident. I found it funny. Kind of dragged on in the middle. Had to force myself through it. I'm glad I did. Really funny characters toward the end. I enjoyed most of the characters. I felt the love story between Jess and Hawk was really rushed. I just thought the concept was all over the place. Not realistic, but fun. Jess and Hawk played off each other well. I guess I expected more excitement than chaos. The plot of the story was deceiving. But it did have very funny parts.
