The main character in Linda Howard's KISS ME WHILE I SLEEP is Lily Mansfield, an assassin for the CIA. Her two best friends, former CIA agents Averill and Tina, and their adopted daughter Zia --- a girl who Lily rescued after she was abandoned as a baby --- are brutally murdered.Lily investigates and finds out that Averill and Tina performed one last assignment: blowing up a laboratory. The owner of that laboratory, Salvatore Nervi, is a powerful organized crime boss who has the family killed as payback for destroying his lab. Lily makes it her mission to avenge the deaths of her friends, and she does so by killing Salvatore. She is masterful at disguises, which comes in handy as she begins dodging Salvatore's son, Rodrigo, and the CIA.The CIA sends out one of their best agents, Lucas Swain, after Lily to terminate her because she has committed an unauthorized kill --- it doesn't help Lily that Salvatore was an informant for the CIA. As Lucas becomes involved with Lily and finds out why she did what she did, he is torn between completing his assignment and helping Lily carry out her revenge mission. The two begin falling in love with each other, which complicates matters further. The twists and turns of the missions will keep readers turning pages, as well as the budding romance between the protagonists.Both Lily and Lucas are likable characters and, despite their glamorous occupations as spies, very realistic. Readers will understand Lily's motives for revenge. It's obvious that killing is no easy matter for Lily; she has always justified her actions with the idea that it must be the right thing to do if her government tells her to do it. Readers will also understand the struggle Lucas has about how to handle his assignment.
