Book Description:
If you sense someone's watching you from afar, or if you feel a shadow other than your own at your back, I might as well pack it up and call it a day. It's a job that makes a killing. Efficient, professional, and without apology, Lily Mansfield is a hired assassin, working as a contract agent for the CIA. Her targets are the powerful and corrupt, those who can't be touched by the law.
Now, after nineteen years of service, Lily has been drawn into a dangerous game that hasn't been sanctioned, seeking vengeance for her own reasons. Each move bolder than the next, she is compromising her superiors, drawing unwanted attention, and endangering her very life. Though stress and shock have made her feel somewhat invincible and a little cocky, Lily knows that she too can be taken out in an instant. And if it's her time, so be it. She intends to go down fighting.
A CIA agent himself, Lucas Swain recognizes the signs of trauma in the line of fire. His orders: either bring her in or bring her down. Yet he too is drawn into the game with Lily Mansfield, dancing on a tightrope as he tries to avoid a major international incident while still battling a tenacious foe who is dogging their every step. Keeping laser focus on the task at hand while vigilantly watching her back, Mansfield never sees the lethal peril that lies directly in her path... and how loyalty has a price.

This book pits a female contract assassin for the CIA with a male agent sent to terminate her after she goes "rogue". A page turner as are all of Ms. Howard's books.

This is about a female contract assasin and how someone is out to gun her down. Very good story line, characters strong and developed.
Jean L. (If you enjoy reading romantic thrillers, you will love this book. I have read several books by Linda Howard (not nearly all) and this one is my favorite. The suspense is great, keeping you turning the pages and it has a really surprising ending.
Cara C. (Very interesting book. Enjoyed the characters and the twist at the end.
Linda Howard's Kiss Me While I Sleep reads like an updated Helen MacInne's novel. I loved it!

A great read. Close friends of Lily (assassin for CIA) are killed and she goes after the killers one at a time. She is great in her changes of disguise, meets up with a fellow assassin, whom she doesn't know is hired to kill her. They are attrached to each other. She needs his help, not sure if she can trust him, and has been on the run since she killed a high powered man that the CIA was in close contact with.
