This is the next to last installment of the "Code Name:Danger" series.Doc, the quiet genius of the group, is a whiz at making lists and planning for all eventualities. His ability to do so allows him to lead a double life as a world-renowned electronics expert and a spy for OMEGA, a top-secret agency. So he sees no trouble in traveling to Cannes with his partner Maggie, taking care of some OMEGA business, and flying his docile fiancee out for their wedding a couple of days after that. After all, he left her detailed instructions...Little does he know that his simple and sweet Paige has thrown out all his lists, and is already on her way to Cannes to meet him. She still loves David, but just can't help feeling he's never quite himself with her, always holding some things back. She has decided to give him one more chance and, if they can't resolve this, she'll return his engagement ring. Before she can meet him, however, she runs into a friendly American who takes her on a shopping spree that turns Paige from girl-next-door to slinky seductress. And that's when the trouble starts. What ensues is a case of mistaken identity, stolen technology, a mysterious buyer, a street-smart orphan and a high-priced callgirl. Oh, and Paige and David still have to have that talk...This book is great. I would have given it 4 1/2 stars if I could. In fact, the only reason I didn't think it rated five stars was because I read the next book in the series, PERFECT DOUBLE, before I read this one. Even in this work, there were times when I felt Maggie got dangerously close to stealing the show. So, I recommend that (unlike me) you read the books in order.
How the "SHY ONE" saves the day!

This is a very good but brief spy thriller book where the unknowing shy and quiet fiancee finds out her soon-to-be-husband is not only an engineer but an ex-Navy man and US secret agent. This is about Paige and David. There is also an underlying story about David's spy female partner and her feelings for their BOSS - Adam. This book will keep you riveted. You will also want to read the sequel of Maggie and Adam (if you can find it).
