License to Love (The Agent Ex, #4)

by Gina Robinson

In the 1950s, the CIA hired magician John Mulholland to teach them sleight of hand and the art of deception. Now, more than fifty years later, the Agency needs a magician's help again: with counter magic to thwart a plot by the terrorist organization RIOT to steal top-secret technology from Area 51. Vegas magician Rock Powers is the illusionist for the job. But to entice Rock into working with them, the CIA will have to find Rock's wife, his former assistant Lani, who disappeared two years ago in the middle of Rock's act.

[Cocktails and Books]

What a fun read! This is my first book from Gina Robinson and I was pleasantly surprised! This is a spy story with an infusion of Maxwell Smart, James Bond, Cloak and Dagger and sprinkled with a little Kobayashi Maru action. (Star Trek reference)

This being the fourth book in the series, I was little lost with all the characters mentioned but the funny moments quickly dispelled my discomfort. I also felt the plot was a little outlandish at times, but it’s a book of fiction and, again, the comic relief made up for it.

Rock was a smokin’ hottie and I can’t believe that Lani left him; even though she did it to protect herself and him. I wouldn’t have left him, but Rock did get her drunk and tricked her into getting married, but that still wouldn’t have mattered to me. I enjoyed the story and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys spy books with espionage, misdirection and humor.
