Harriet Ruby (or Hairy Boobies as one of her tourists call her) is a tour director and is relatively new to this occupation. That does not help matters when one of her tourists dies. It turns out he was poisoned and that death starts off the series of events in which Harriet tries to solve the mystery of his murder. In doing so, she meets Will, a dashing spy. Harriet wants to trust him but does not know if that would be wise. Her trust issues are not help by her strong attraction to Will. This book has a lot of action in it. Readers will be kept guessing as to who are the bad and good guys. There is also a lot of humor in the book, whether through the escapades of the tourists or through Harriet’s spying events. Readers will care about Harriet and Will and want them to solve the mystery and get to safety. Besides the humor and action, this book has some steamy romantic scenes. Harriet and Will have good chemistry. There is a sexual chemistry to them, plus they seem very comfortable with each other, even though they just met. Will is a dashing romantic hero—the handsome spy. This book seems to be the possible start of a series and that is a good thing. Readers will want more of Harriet and Will. Harriet has the makings of a fine spy. She did not have a clue when she began to look into the murder mystery but she had decent instincts and a good dose of courage Reviewed by Melissa |
