My Review:

4-4.25 stars

****

This was another really good book in this trilogy of novellas. This was part 2 of Seth and Amanda's story. Seth is a former CIA agent, now working in private security and investigations for Shane Brandon (from the Dirty Money series). When he was in the CIA three years ago, he spent three months undercover with Amanda, another agent and scientist, posing as man and wife on a mission. Amanda is a poison specialist with the nickname Poison Princess, and Seth is a well known contract killer agent known as The Assassin. While the two were undercover, they fell in love and began a real relationship, but when the mission goes wrong, Amanda runs and disappears. Seth has spent the three years since searching for her to no avail, angry and bitter that Amanda could possibly have double-crossed him. Now, Seth has been contracted by the CIA to go to Amanda, who they have found, and get her to help them with a matter of national security, a terrorism threat to poison the public water source. When Seth and Amanda come face to face and are forced to go on the run together, they must face their past and decide whether they can trust each other. Or will one of them be forced to kill the other to keep themself and their country safe?

This is a sexy, suspenseful spy story. It was very Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The spy theme really suits Ms. Jones' writing. I loved the mysterious, unpredictable feel of the book. I really loved both Seth and Amanda. In part one, neither of them know whether they can trust each other and both feel betrayed by each other in the past. In part two, they have resolved most of their trust issues and are working together to figure out exactly what happened in the past to split them apart and how to solve their current problem. I didn't love that we only get Seth's POV, but we do get Amanda's POV later on in the trilogy. I still felt a connection to her even without her POV. I am hoping that in part three, they can get everything resolved because there seems like a lot left to discover and only one short novella left to do it.

I had the pleasure of reading an advance copy of all three parts of the Poison Kisses trilogy so I had the opportunity to read them back to back. I definitely recommend reading them that way. To me, this was one book split into 3 parts. I did not think the parts stood alone very well. Also they are short, so don't expect three full length books. If at all possible, I recommend reading the books back to back.

I love Ms. Jones' romantic suspense and this trilogy was one of her best. I was sucked in from the very beginning. I could not put the book down until I had read all three parts to Poison Kisses. I will definitely be adding it to my re-read list. I very much recommend this sexy, suspenseful trilogy and look forward to more from Ms. Jones in the future!
