Partners-In-Crime is a company that specializes in security, or lack thereof. The three employee/owners are expert at sniffing out trouble. This time around it is Aimee Devlin, also known as Taz to her friends, that gets a shot in the hot seat. She is trying to ferret out the mole in a case of corporate espionage. Quickly, this becomes a lot more than a case of competition.

We meet Horace Gardner in the boardroom. He is the first suspect in this investigation. The mild-mannered Chief Financial Officer is much more than he appears to be. Aimee has him changing from Horace to Race right before our eyes. Gone is the number crunching dweeb and in his place is a super sexy, incredibly studly CIA agent out to get his man, or woman, as the case may be.

Nic Sabre is a powerful man, but he has not always been. Once he was just an abandoned child, left to defend himself in the mean streets of Venezuela. Now, he is trying to break into the world of weapons manufacturing. He seeks to provide the kind of life he did not have for his daughter.  This is a noble cause for a not so noble man.

With each page of I SPY, we travel into a world filled with dangerous consequences and even more dangerous people. The task Aimee accepts is one that is much more intriguing and more demanding than she ever could have imagined. Constantly having to watch her back, trying to keep her wits sharp and safeguarding her heart, all take a toll on this magnificently charming lady. Her strength of will and character, along with her strong integrity, aid her in saving life as we know it. 

This is a powerful story told by a powerful story teller. Jacey Ford, also known as Beverly Brandt, has a definite gift for the suspenseful side of life. Her ability to delve into the psyche of her characters is most impressive. Her forays into the mindset of the children within her stories is intense and incredibly real. When you become engrossed in one of her tales, and you will, you find yourself so involved mentally that you are anticipating every last word, breathing with the characters. It is an extreme joy for me to pick up a Jacey Ford book, having read two fantastic stories by this lady, I know that I am in for a good time. I highly recommend I SPY to anyone looking for a truly entertaining read. DANGEROUS CURVES (Raine's Story) is the first story in the PARTNERS-IN-CRIME saga. Be sure not to miss the third installment, Daphne's story in the Summer of 2005. You will not be sorry!
