Mad, Bad and Blonde

Starred review from March 1, 2010
Instead of going into seclusion when shes stood up at the altar, librarian Faith West takes off by herself to lick her wounds at her would-be honeymoon spot on the Italian coast. She expects to spend her Mediterranean vacation alone, but, as fate would have it, she meets Caine Hunter, the man of every womans dream. However, it turns out that fate has nothing to do with their encounter. Caine is a spy working for a sworn enemy of Faiths father. Should she kiss Caine or kill him? After all, hes the second man to do her wrong in just a matter of days. And how does Caine feel about this assignment gone awry? For lighthearted contemporary romance, its hard to beat Linz. Filled with believable characters and witty dialogue, her books never fail to entertain. And for librarians, a spunky heroine representing that profession is a rare treat.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2010, American Library Association.)
