Code Name: Baby by Christina Skye

I enjoyed Christina Skye's other Code Name books, so when I saw that another was out, I had to get it. I enjoyed it, but not quite as much as the others.

Book blurb from eHarlequin: Navy SEAL Wolfe Houston is on a mission of national security: protect one stubborn — but gorgeous — civilian in charge of training valuable government assets. But tracking down four genetically enhanced service dogs and guarding their furry backs 24/7 is going to take all of Wolfe's tactical skills. The dogs' unsuspecting trainer, Kit O'Halloran, doesn't know that deadly mercenaries are determined to kidnap her charges. With hostiles to evade and bullets to dodge, there's no time to waste — so why is Kit pressed against an adobe wall by moonlight, reveling in the hot magic of Wolfe's slow, skillful hands?

Wolfe is fascinated by Kit's devotion to her puppies, especially Baby, the incorrigible runt of the litter. But two other trainers have died under strange circumstances — and a foreign government has just posted a staggering bounty for Kit's capture. Before Wolfe can explore their white-hot attraction, the two are on the run, forced to decide which of their secret contacts is friend...and which is deadliest foe. Only Baby can lead them through the storm to safe haven in each other's arms. Good dog!

Code Name: Baby is pretty fast-paced and mostly a lot of fun. I actually didn't realize that Kit's friend was being set up for a book of her own until I saw that she'd be starring in the next book.

Hmmm...I really should have written this immediately after I read the book, because now I'm forgetting things. Well, while I did like the book, it just didn't have that extra spark I got from reading her other romantic suspense books. I don't know, maybe it has something to do with them moving from Dell to HQN. Maybe Dell only had room for Tara Janzen (whose book is next up on my list to write about).
