So Touching, February 20, 2002
This is the last in the "Code Name: Danger" series.
There is a plot to assassinate the current United States vice-president. Since said official happens to be a woman, the top-secret OMEGA agency decides to have Maggie Sinclair impersonate her. Maggie is an experienced field operative, equally comfortable in shootouts as she is under cover. However, since this is such a high-risk mission, the agency director is sending her backup. The widowed vice-president is about to acquire a new boyfriend in the person of Adam Ridgeway-who just happens to be Maggie's boss.
Sparks, which were already smoldering in the previous novels, now fully ignite as Maggie and Adam feign a courtship which must convince everyone that theirs is a normal romance. So while trying to prevent an assassination and uncover a killer, their staged intimate moments come dangerously close to reality. The sweet inscription inside the wedding band Maggie now wears makes her long for a love of her own.
Maggie is definitely the precursor to Sidney Bristow (TV's ALIAS); she's intelligent, she's courageous, and she's resourceful. Unlike in so many other books, her attraction to Adam doesn't suddenly erase all of that. Rather, the main relationship issue in the book is how difficult it would be for Adam and Maggie to be a couple, given their respective occupations.
It's hard to explain why this book is so touching without giving some things away. But trust me, there are definitely some "Awwwwwwwww" moments in there, even if you're a cynic like me. From the bustling political circles of DC to an isolated snow-covered mountain retreat, there are plenty of chases, suspects, and steamy scenes. Add to this quite a bit of humor, cameo appearances from other OMEGA operatives, an iguana and a huge shaggy dog, and this novel definitely spells "keeper".
It is not necessary to read the previous installments of "Code Name: Danger" to fully enjoy this book, although you probably won't be able to resist going back and reading them all once you've finished this one.

Perfect Book, February 9, 2010
A agree with the other reviewer. If you read the later books in Code Name Danger series, this is a must to fully understand Maggie and Adam, their roles in the organization and their relationship. Awesome book.

Great Book, May 18, 2009
This is a great book that answered a lot of questions about the beginning of the Code Name Danger series. I enjoyed learning more about Maggie and Adam's relationship. If you've read the later books in the series, this is a must.
Well written and very enjoyable.
