Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Kiss Me While I Sleep
Review: This book put me in mind of ALL THE QUEEN'S MEN with the CIA angle and the mentions of John Medina. That book wasn't one of my favorite Linda Howard's and neither is this one. I enjoyed reading it but it's just not one that will be a book I will read and re-read over & over.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Kiss Me While I Sleep
Review: Very disappointed in this book. I usually like Linda Howard's books, but this was not my favorite.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Skip this one.
Review: You know when you go to the airport and check out the newsagency/bookstore, and they have a sale display out front with books by authors such as Robert Ludlum, with covers covered with skulls or scythes or some such. These books are typically all about spies, conspiracies, (cold) wars, (nuclear) missiles and biological harzards.

'Kiss Me While I Sleep' is the same sort of genre but just not as good. I haven't read 'The Bourne Supremecy', but I think it would probably be a better read. The movie was certainly better.

By the end of page 118, the average intellectual had worked out what the evil-doer was planning. By the end of page 153, the average intellectual had worked out who was behind the machinations. The version I read had 375 pages.

In all honesty, there was no romance. Yes it had graphic descriptions of sex, but that isn't romance. Yes they went to a restaurant and ate fancy food, but that isn't romance either. Romance is a trust and a connection. How can romance exist when both are wondering when the other will kill or betray them? This novel is on the edge of the romance genre. It could be argued that it's not really romance at all.

If you have to read this because you have read all the rest of the author's writings, borrow it from your local library.
