Publisher's summary

Sarah Cavell is a beautiful, brilliant cryptographer with the uncanny ability to crack any code. But her most daunting challenge may be reading the true feelings of her new "husband," Rafferty Lewis, the secretive federal agent to whom she's just been assigned. Sent on a perilous mission to a Caribbean nation teetering on the brink of revolution, the two must go undercover as husband and wife to make contact with a shadowy informant passing on cryptic messages that could trap a terrorist.

Pilot, sharpshooter, and accomplished yachtsman, Rafferty prides himself on being the epitome of coolness under pressure. But in the aftermath of a marital tragedy that exposed his vulnerable core, the prospect of pantomiming intimacy with a woman of Sarah's intoxicating allure has him unnerved, to say the least - and that could prove deadly for both of them. Dodging danger at every turn even as passion's magnet draws them closer to each other, these two make-believe lovers will learn that the heart is a puzzle they can only solve together.

Not So Great

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

someone who likes easy listens.

What could Kay Hooper have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

the hero and heroine were scatter brained and it would have nice if they were a little more realistic.

What does Parker Leventer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

she is a good reader.

LOVE AND SUPENSE

What did you love best about Rafferty's Wife?

I FELT SHE WAS EXACTLY RIGHT FOR HIM

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

ONLY THE PART ABOUT THE ISLAND AND NOT KNOWING WHAT WOULD BE WAITING FOR THEM

Which character – as performed by Parker Leventer – was your favorite?

THE PART THE PRESIDENT OF THE ISLAND PLAYED

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A NEAR TRAINGLER OF LOVE

Any additional comments?

I LOVED THE BOOK BECAUSE THE STORY WAS GREAT THE PLOT WAS ENTERTAINING, NOT A DULL MOMENT

Fun story!

If you sometimes want a simple, light-hearted story, this one fills that need. It's a quick listen, that's relaxing. I've always like this series. I read them when she first wrote them, now I can't wait to listen to all the series. The reader is ok.
