Kiss Me While I Sleep

By: Linda Howard

Narrated by: Joyce Bean, Dick Hill

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 18 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 are to 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 her 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.

Nice read..

Any additional comments?

I'm really not sure how I felt about this book. It seemed rather wordy at times and a little boring but over all I guess it was good. I liked Lily but I wasn't crazy about Swain's voice. He seemed kind of idiotic sometimes. I thought this was suppose to be a romantic/suspense but the two didn't even meet until about 48% of the book. Then there was a couple of kisses until about 75% then it was just like marathon sex. Not very romantic as far as I'm concerned. Anyway, Mr.Hill did a fantastic job on so many voices it was just amazing. I would definitely like to listen to him again. And Ms. Bean did an excellent job too. This is the first time I've listened to two narrators and I absolutely loved it.

Great narration!

This was so worth a credit. The story is good, but what makes it really great is the amazing narration. Such a great performance with all the accents and different characters.

Male narrator sounds like an old old man.

Story line was very good. Female narrator was wonderful. Male narrator didn’t fit the subject. He sounds like a man in his sixties or seventies.
