Fast, snappy and cute. --Susan Anderson, New York times bestselling author
Product Description
Combining the wit of Janet Evanovich and the intrique of Cherry Adair, Gina Robinson balances humour, suspense, and sexiness in her second novel, which will have readers laughing out loud as they sit on the edge of their seats in nail biting tension.Reilly Peterson s been many things in her thirty-two years: an athlete, a model, a sportswear executive. Her ex-boyfriend, however, has done a good job of making Reilly something she s never been scared. Now Reilly s ready to protect herself with more than her sharp tongue. Fantasy Spy Camp s Seattle-based Urban Ops division will train her to survive using everything from her bare hands to a submachine gun. But when she gets an eyeful of fellow camper Van Keller, all Reilly wants is to chill out, partner up, and go deep undercover...

Format:Paperback
This book has been sitting on my bedside table for almost two months with a bookmark in it halfway through. Perhaps I'd get back into reading the story, I thought, but whenever I picked it up I found myself putting it down again. Nope, I'd lost all interest in this book.
So what was wrong? The blurb on the back made it sound exciting - Reilly Peterson attends Fantasy Spy Camp, a training course, finding herself attracted to fellow camper Van Keller. As you read the book there is some kind of a mystery and even a murder.
This is meant to be a sassy, witty book in the mould of Janet Evanovich, but it turned into a damp squib. Some aspects were interesting, such as the survival training, but there were so many unlikely turns of events (the most unlikely being that there's a murder in the training camp and yet it continues. Surely not!!) that I could no longer have any belief in the story.
The romance side, or at least what I read in the first half, was also rather boring. Reilly and Van are attracted to each other. Reilly's stalker appears on the scene but no-one is worried about him. I felt myself less and less interested in the story and its resolution as I read on and was relieved to eventually decide to give up. One to miss!

A KEEPER!
14 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback
Be careful when you start this book because you will not be able to put it down! I loved the main characters Reilly and Van. Reilly has just the right amount of spunk to hold her own against math professor hero, Van Keller. Van is a strong alpha with a heart. The story pulls you in as you worry and wonder how these two will find their happy ending when it seems as if everything and everyone is conspiring to keep them apart. When you close this book, I promise it will be with a smile on your face. Ms. Robinson is definitely an author to watch.

Great Read with an Unsinkable Heroine
21 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
Gina's Robinson's latest spy adventure is a fast-paced, romantic read, filled with fun dialogue and a realistic heroine who's overcoming an abusive past. Empowering herself by attending spy school, Reilly won my respect from the opening scene. You can't help rooting for a heroine with such sass and an unsinkable spirit.
With humor, action and plenty of heart, Spy Games is the perfect read for a long, lazy weekend.

enjoyable lighthearted romantic suspense
4 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback
Though frightened of her former boyfriend Ket, thirty-two years old Reilly Peterson refuses to allow him to dictate how she lives. Being a former athlete and model, she is in good shape so she decides she needs to learn how to defend her self rather quickly. In Seattle she attends the Urban Ops Division's three-day training at Fantasy Spy Camp.
At camp Reilly meets math Professor Van Keller; he acts anything but like her image of an academic. When a corpse is found, Reilly fears Ket is nearby. Meanwhile as she learns hand to hand combat and weapons usage, Van vows to keep her safe although she wonders how a Pythagoras Equation expert will protect her from killer Ket.
Like its predecessor Spy Candy, the fun Spy Games is an enjoyable lighthearted romantic suspense starring a brave lead female, a math teacher who proves the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, and a villain over the top of the Space Needle. Readers will enjoy going to Fantasy Spy Camp rooting for Reilly to kick Kt's butt.
