Lying and Kissing By: Helena Newbury

(N)  Lying and Kissing was originally published as the serial Undercover (Seduced, Conflicted and Betrayed) and can now be read as one full-length story.
       Arianna is a self-proclaimed language geek working for the CIA. Arianna has been working a desk job for far too long and wants the chance to go out and be a field agent. When the opportunity arises for her to meet Luca, a Russian arms dealer and mobster, Arianna realizes just how far out of depth she really is.
      Before she even gets a chance to grasp what her first mission is Arianna is on her way to Moscow with orders to "accidentally" run into Luca again. Arianna has one job, to seduce Luca and find out exactly what his plans are. There's just one problem Arianna can't seem to control herself whenever she is around Luca and if he ever finds out who she really is, she's dead.

       This was yet another book that I could not put down. I'm glad that I was able to read this book as a standalone instead of a serial because I've never been a fan of serials unless they were already put together in one book. Either way I'm really glad that I've read this book and recommend it for others. Coming from someone who is not the biggest mobster book fan this book had just enough in it as well as the romance between Arianna and Luca throughout the entire book to really keep me entertained and not feel as though the whole book was around mob life. This book is definitely one you should give a try.
