Product Description

Elle Gray looks like a supermodel, thinks like a super agent, and can kill a man with her bare hands. But when she meets Dr. Beau Ruston, the brilliant scientist and ex-college football star in charge of the project she's been sent to protect, she wants more of her bare self around him than just her hands. If his muscular grace and quick wit hadn't turned her on, there would still be those big brown eyes...watching her suspiciously. With a man this smart and sexy questioning her cover, the bad guys are the least of her problems.Beau Ruston knows Elle is a government spy, and he doesn't like to be spied on - or lied to, no matter how charming the liar happens to be. Wait, did he say 'charming'? Damn hot is more like it. He should know, chemistry is his business, whether it's in the lab or in the bedroom, but the reaction Elle is setting off might be too much for even him to control...

From Publishers Weekly
Monroe's absurd latest features studly chemist Beau Ruston and sexy spy Elle Gray. When security is compromised in Ruston's lab, the government sends in Gray with cover as a security consultant. While both are instantly attracted to each other, Gray must conceal her true identity, and Ruston must conceal that he already knows it. The layers of deception are compounded when Elle discovers that her brother, Matej, is working at the laboratory as well. When smugglers bent on stealing an antigravity prototype start threatening Matej's girlfriend, Gray makes it personal. There's nothing that hasn't been done better elsewhere; the characters are woefully caricatured types; the sex scenes are dreadful (But her vaginal walls were spasming with desire) and the plot has a distant, nodding acquaintance with reality.

From Booklist
Monroe’s super-secret Goddard Project gives rise to another spy, Elle Gray, who looks like a supermodel and can incapacitate a bad guy in seconds. She’s also an expert security consultant who, ever since her husband died, has done nothing but work, purposely cutting herself off from her family in California. Now her boss intends to change all that by sending Elle to the West Coast to consult with a research and design firm. Her life does indeed change the minute she steps out of her sports car and meets the scientist she’ll be working with, Dr. Beau Ruston. He’s one tall Texan, a former football player, and brainy to boot. Elle has some serious choices to make in this romantic tale replete with espionage and steamy sex. --Maria Hatton

Another Sexy gem from Lucy Monroe
Lucy Monroe's writes sexy agents like no other and it really shines in her latest novel, The Spy Who Wants Me. They really know how to protect their clients with everything they have.

Elle Gray, a Goddard Project agent takes a case that brings her back near her family in California. Elle is brought in as a security consultant to help protect a valuable scientific project. Elle is tops in her field and gives her all to her job. Elle is taken aback by her instant attraction to the head scientist Beau Ruston.

Dr. Beau Ruston is willing to protect his project, even to the point of agreeing to outside security. He sure wasn't expecting to be visual charged by his first look at Elle Gray. Soon Beau realizes Elle is not only beautiful but smart and skilled.

Elle has avoided her family for a few years after the death of her husband. Now her family is front and center with her brother Mat working with Beau. Add to this stress is Mat's girlfriend Chantal who is being threatened by outsiders who want their hands on the project.

Elle and Beau's romance is smoking hot and deeply sensual. The suspense of who the security leak adds another layer to the multi dimensional book. The secondary romance of Mat and Chantal is sweet and sexy and is well written as well.

Lucy Monroe's books are tops of my list of books to buy. You can't go wrong in picking up her books.

Truth, Justice, and the American Way
All of Lucy Monroe's books are based upon the reader not taking the stories to seriously. The basic plot of Ms. Monroe's novels are good versus evil, truth wins out, and lust and passion equate to true love. Not a problem for this reader.

Lucy's books always provide me with a great read and a longing for my hero to come along. To me this is what a good romance book is supposed to accomplish. Ms. Monroe writes about strong men, but her woman are just as complex and she is skilled at creating great chemistry with all her charcters.

Though she did bring in Alan, Nitro, and Josie, I wish more would have been said about how the other players from her previous novels were doing. I'd like to see them all reunited again before Ms. Monroe moves away from this series. I can't wait for to learn more about Jonathan; aka Mr. Smith and who he and "The Old Man" decide to play matchmaker for next time.

Too Cutesy for This Reader!
I am a fan of Lucy Monroe, but this book left a bad Harlequin taste in my mouth. I am not a fan of Harlequin books and this is exactly what I felt like I was reading. If you like Harlequin Romance, then you will like this book. I personally didn't think the main characters were believable enough. Elle Gray was a lack luster agent who was not a strong character. Beau, the scientist and love interest was an alpha male wannabe. I love most of Monroe's other books in the TGP series. She is an excellent writer, but her last two books in the series have been a little too cutesy for me. I'd like to see a little more hardcore.
