Perfect Double
by Merline Lovelace
Description:
NOT EXACTLY A NINE-TO-FIVE JOB… Maggie Sinclair has played everything from a nun to a call girl in her work for the supersecret OMEGA agency. But now she really had her hands full, impersonating the vice president of the United States. And more unsettling still was her partner in crime OMEGA’s mysterious director, Adam Ridgeway… For years Maggie had looked at Adam like…well, like she might be thinking about a relationship that was somewhat less than businesslike. For years she’d dreamed of breaking down Adam’s aristocratic reserve to get at the hot-blooded man she knew lurked underneath. And maybe now the time had finally come…

“Amazing Reading”
Bhargav
A reader will need to suspend disbelief to buy into the premise of this book, but that’s not unusual for a romantic suspense book nor is it difficult to do here. Perfect Double makes you believe it’s all possible. I didn’t know going in that his is part of a long series by Lovelace, but I didn’t feel lost at any point. The book stands alone very well. The writing, the plot development, and the characters were all solid. The romance between the leads was fun to watch and I loved that there were no “big misunderstandings” or “we can’t be together” moments to tarnish the glow.But mainly, I most appreciated that Lovelace wrote a strong, capable heroine that didn’t need saving by her man. Even with Adam’s alpha tendencies, they were partners, a team who worked together as equals to save themselves and others. And than you very much, Ms. Lovelace, for not having Maggie chuck it all at the end for “lurve.”

When the OMEGA agency receives a intelligence report indicating the United States female Vice President’s life is in danger, an arrangement is made to hide away the VP. Maggie Sinclair is a dead ringer for the VP and agrees to act the role until the terrorist intending to perpetrate the crime is caught. Adam Ridgeway intends to make sure Maggie is safe by posing as the boyfriend of the VP. All this is the perfect foil for a relationship that is about to become more important than it has ever been. Followers of this series have certainly been waiting for the relationship between Chameleon and Adam to escalate. The OMEGA agents themselves have been making bets on how much longer it would be before the two entered into an affair. If you’ve never read any books in the series, it is important that you start with the first book. The stories and characters follow from one book to the next and you won’t want to miss a single exciting episode. The intrigue and suspense in each story is absorbing and the romance is outstanding.

Read this in the previous century but still remember the chemistry between Adam and Maggie as it built up slowly over the previous installments to explode here in their book. Whew…fanning myself still…and back then there were no “cocks” and fingers being inserted in quivering assholes.I’d like to do a reread of the Codename:Danger books but they are terribly uneven. Some are good but many are mediocre and a few just plain bad. Lots of these paperbacks somewhere and Lovelace is one of the few category romantic suspense authors I bought even as I followed her into her single titles.
