Release Date: December 2006

I recently won an ARC of Jenna Petersen’s January release, Desire Never Dies, and it certainly met all of my expectations! This book is the second in Jenna’s Lady Spies trilogy that she has dubbed “Charlie’s Angels, but in Empire waists”. Here’s a blurb from Jenna’s website:

Shy, intelligent widow Anastasia Whittig is really a Lady Spy in name only. Though she invents important items and decodes evidence, she�s hardly ventured into the field and keeps herself wrapped in a shroud of mourning for her late husband. She�s perfectly content to continue her sheltered life, but when one of her best friend�s is shot, she�s forced into service at the side of Lucas Tyler.

Lucas is a daring, talented spy, driven to solve the case of attacks on his fellow agents. He doesn�t want any help, and certainly not from Ana. But as the two edge ever closer to the disturbing truth, they cannot keep from developing a grudging respect for each other. And they cannot ignore the undeniable desire that threatens to change both their worlds.

First off, let me say that the title Desire Never Dies is perfect. There is plenty of desire in this book, as Jenna Petersen is famous for writing. Ana and Lucas try to fight the attraction and desire, to keep their relationship strictly professional, but eventually give in…and when they do, it is amazing! To watch Ana, who had known love with her husband, come out of her shell of grief and find love again with Lucas was extremely emotionally satisfying. This book is rich with sizzling tension and heart-wrenching emotion…oh, and it’s HOT! If you liked From
London With Love (Meredith and Tristan’s story), you’ll love Desire Never Dies! It is now one of my all-time favorites. Brava, Jenna!
