Grace is not your typical mother to a nine year old son. She burns cookies, sucks at housework, and generally has to make a huge effort to be domestic. What is she good at? Being a super agent of course. Nine years before, pregnant, shot by her lover Alex, the child's father; she makes a career change. Alex in the meantime has put together the Devlin agency and maintains two personages--that of Sean Devlin whom Grace thinks of as a best friend and confident as well as Alex Rossi, super agent! Grace has no idea that they are the same person. For some reason she never asks Sean why Alex shot her. She just assumes he put the job before her life and in order to achieve his objective to bring the bad guy down that is holding her hostage--he shoots her in order to get him.The story has so many unbelievable scenarios that in order to enjoy it for what it is--romantic suspense--you kind of have to suspend your belief in logic.This is a fast easy read. Don't expect it to make sense in terms of logic, plot etc. Stacey is weak on plot, but her dialogue and characters are fairly strong.
