Fiction. Romance. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:If you sense someone??s watching you from afar, or if you feel a shadow other than your own at your back, I might as well pack it up and call it a day.

It??s a job that makes a killing. Efficient, professional, and without apology, Lily Mansfield is a hired assassin, working as a contract agent for the CIA. Her targets are the powerful and corrupt, those who can??t be touched by the law.

Now, after nineteen years of service, Lily has been drawn into a dangerous game that hasn??t been sanctioned, seeking vengeance for her own reasons. Each move bolder than the next, she is compromising her superiors, drawing unwanted attention, and endangering her very life. Though stress and shock have made her feel somewhat invincible and a little cocky, Lily knows that she too can be taken out in an instant. And if it??s her time, so be it. She intends to go down fighting.

A CIA agent himself, Lucas Swain recognizes the signs of trauma in the line of fire. His orders: either bring her in or bring her down. Yet he too is drawn into the game with Lily Mansfield, dancing on a tightrope as he tries to avoid a major international incident while still battling a tenacious foe who is dogging their every step. Keeping laser focus on the task at hand while vigilantly watching her back, Mansfield never sees the lethal peril that lies directly in her path . . . and how loyalty has a price.

Chock-full of the intrigue, breathless action, and sensuality that have made Linda Howard the master of romantic suspense, Kiss Me While I Sleep is a daring thriller of passion, sudden twists, and richly imagined characters who live and breathe in readers?? hearts. It is the most gripping and complex novel of Linda

I have read several novels by Linda Howard and enjoy them as the simple night or two diversion they present. I did not realize it was the last book of a CIA Spies trilogy but it was easily read as a stand-alone. One should not be deceived that the novel is one of spycraft as there is more romance than any suspense.

Note: Rating was lowered by 1 star due to copy editing errors. ( )

This is a fairly interesting book with a good scenario. Of course, the sex part is okay but to me unnecessary. Thank goodness for the epilogue because the last chapter was very shocking to me. Good story. ( )

“I love you, too,” she said in a somber tone. “I think. I’m pretty sure, though. It’s scary, isn’t it?”
“Damn terrifying.” He dropped the pen he’d been using to figure the square footage of the rooms and turned in his chair so he could haul her down onto his lap. “I thought we’d just have some fun together; then the next thing I knew I was worrying if you ate enough for breakfast. You’re like a Stealth bomber. My radar never showed a blip.” He frowned down at her.
“Don’t look at me,” she protested. “None of this was my fault. I was minding my own business, having a little shoot-out in which I was outnumbered, when you charged into the middle of it. By the way, that was good driving, the way you slid the Jaguar around.”


If you've been wanting a more heavy centric heroine book, then this is for you. The story centers around Lily, a CIA assassin bent on revenge. Swain is the CIA agent sent to neutralize Lily but his off the cuff attitude has him working with her. With the revenge storyline we have a syndicate dipping their hand into biological warfare, a mole in the CIA, and a plethora of characters with a myriad of motivations.
The suspense side is the main focus for most of the story, our hero and heroine don't even meet until 40% in but their relationship was sassy, sweet, and fun (if not completely mega deep).
The last half loads up on the sex scenes you perverts miss in the beginning and even though the ending was abrupt and not given American closure (everything tied up with a huge big bow) it was perfect. Really though, read this for the great heroine. ( )

A real suspense novel. Kept you guessing until the end. ( )

Lily Mansfield is a contract killer for the CIA, 37 years old, with 19 years of experience. She is also a grieving parent whose 13-year-old, adopted daughter has recently been killed, along with her foster parents who were Lily's best friends. Lily has set out to kill the man who ordered the hit on Zia and her foster parents, and to wreck as much havoc as she can on his organization. She is doing this without the CIA's sanction; in fact, they have sent one of their top agents, Lucas Swain, to stop her.

Just when I thought I figured out the plot and the ending, I was thrown a curve ball. L inda Howard's heroine is quite a departure from the norm and the ending was a surprise. ( )

Efficiënt. Aantrekkelijk. Professioneel. Lily Mansfield is een huurmoordenaar. Zij werkt voor de CIA en kent geen pardon. Haar doelwitten zijn machtig en corrupt, staan buiten de wet.

Na negentien jaar trouwe dienst raakt Lily bij een gevaarlijk spel betrokken. Dit keer speelt zij het volgens haar eigen regels. Zij wil wraak. Al weet zij dat ze in een oogwenk kan worden uitgeschakeld, zij is vastbesloten om strijdend ten onder te gaan.
