Tori Lowell is an FBI agent with something to prove. She's been stuck behind a desk since the academy and she's finally gotten a chance to prove herself only to find she's been partnered with her old nemesis, Carter Sinclair. But Tory's got a chip on her shoulder a mile high. Everyone's out to get her. Never mind that she'd be totally untrustworthy in a field situation. Her conviction that she always knew what was right was a tad annoying by page 50, but by p200 I couldn't stand her. To like a romance novel I have to like the hero & heroine. He was fine...too bad he was saddled with her. Poor man.

When it comes to hot romance and intriguing characters, Julie Kenner is a master. Tory and Carter sizzle right off the pages. A definite keeper!!!

Just a short "My View" review, since there is adequate plot summation.

Tori is a woman who doesn't take well to following orders from a coworker considered her 'superior - not when he has the same number of years and experience on the job.

Carter is a super-macho, sexy, loveable alpha male.

Together, this spunky couple was quite comical. Loved it!

Tired of working undercover, FBI agent Carter Sinclair wants a desk job. His superior informs him that if he completes one more assignment successfully, he will be transferred to the position of Special Agent in Charge of a field office. However, once he learns who his partner is, Carter reconsiders whether the job is worth the cost of partnering with Agent Tori Lowell, whose report linked blackmail schemes involving the Kama Resort near Santa Barbara.

Tori always wanted to go undercover, but until this assignment she never received the opportunity. She blames a tryst with Carter when they attended the academy together and wants to avoid a repetition of her only mistake in life. However, this is her chance to prove she belongs in the real field and not behind a desk as an analyst though she is quite good at the latter. As Tori and Carter act like newlyweds while investigating the Kama Resort, they fall in love. Carter wants Tori at his side forever. However, Tori's ambition and her need to emulate her father may prove stronger than her need for her beloved.

Though the lead couple go undercover as operatives at the sex spa, the title is more for their work under the sheets together as the story line is much more romance than police procedural. The lead duet is a delight though readers will wonder why Tori is dissatisfied with her desk work (perhaps she never sees the fruit of her labor as is common with big companies and government agencies). Fans will relish Julie Kenner's sexually heated tale starring two UNDERCOVER LOVERS.

What happens when two FBI agents who happen to be former lovers are reunited on a case? Sparks, sparks, sparks. Tori is ambitious and focus, highly competitive, and Carter just wants...Tori.
Great fun and very hot!

Three years ago Tori Lowell and Carter Sinclair fiercely competed for top marks at the FBI academy. Their simmer sexual tension heightened the competition, culminating in a date a week before graduation. The disastrous ending left Tori convinced that Carter had used their date to throw her off track, and their clandestine activities had left her with a permanent black mark. Further, Tori blames her subsequent desk jockey position on that night, despite her flair for analysis, when she really wants to be in the field undercover. Now at last her desk job finally leads to her first opportunity for an undercover assignment. Unfortunately, the team lead is her old nemesis.

Three years among the dregs of society leaves Carter longing for a permanent assignment to a field office. He dreams of marriage and of family. The director promises his choice of assignments, but only if goes undercover one more time. He must lead an investigation regarding blackmailing guests of a resort for couples. His cover includes the pretense of marriage with Tori. While their sizzling sexual energy could lead to fascinating undercover work, she is certainly not the kind of woman he could one day marry. But the harder Tori fights their attraction, the more determined Carter becomes to prove they have chemistry above the covers as well as under.

Author Julie Kenner pens a funny, sexy, passionate read in UNDERCOVER LOVERS. In UNDERCOVER LOVERS, the extreme competitive edge displayed between Tori and Carter gives the novel marvelous tension, but some readers may feel it is a bit over the top. Nonetheless, Tori and Carter present an intriguing tale with strong willed characters and a sizzling plot. On one hand, Carter has grown beyond the need to be superagent, having already proved himself with undercover work. On the other hand, Tori needs to prove herself in the field, and to live up to her father's legend. Further, Kenner's characteristic flair for creating scorching love scenes and erotic drive make her one of the most memorable authors in the genre. With sizzling sensual tension and a fun plot, UNDERCOVER LOVERS comes highly recommended.
