Lucy Monroe has penned a thrilling, entertaining read that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. Right from the start, it's clear that Elle is a kickass type heroine that very few men would want to even bother try to mess with. But Beau is not afraid to challenge the beautiful black ops agent and does so whenever he gets the chance. As their relationship grows, he wants to protect her, even as she resists his actions. No one protects Elle except Elle! Elle tries to keep her emotions at bay ever since she lost her husband years ago and doesn't want to feel the pain of losing the man she loves once again. It's up to Beau to break through the barrier she's erected.
Beau made his choices early on to pursue his career with ETRD, despite it causing him to lose a fiancée and his parents to disown him. But he's very proud of his work and has forged a very nice life. Elle's entrance into his life throws him for a loop because she is so different from other women. Her mysterious job and life has him wanting to know her better, despite her refusal to let him. Will he win their battle of wills? Can the bad guys be stopped?
As the suspense in THE SPY WHO WANTS ME builds, so does the relationship between Elle and Beau. There is no doubt that whoever is behind the security leak will stop at nothing to get what they want — top secret plans that could change the world. It's soon a race to prevent the bad guys from getting the plans. The third book in The Goddard Project series, Lucy Monroe has once again proven herself to readers with an electrifying winner in THE SPY WHO WANTS ME. —Patti Fischer, Romance Reviews Today

Read an excerpt below:
Ultimately, it was about love. It was about loving someone enough to let them go. Only that sounded so cheesy, she'd never speak the words aloud. And it was about knowing she deserved to be loved, fully and completely, by the man she would spend the rest of her life with.
He did not look like he believed her claim and she could practically see the thoughts zinging around in his facile brain. He was trying to figure out the right words to reassure, when in fact none existed.
None that he could say anyway.
Again it was time for truth. "Your brothers have both found wonderful happiness while you have been stuck in a promise made on your behalf by two men with too much power and too little comprehension of the cost of their dynastic plans."
"I do not consider myself stuck. I was an adult when that agreement was made." Yes, he'd been all of twenty-four and as bound by duty as any young adult male could be. "I chose my future."
An alpha male like Zahir would have to convince himself of that, or he could not accept the limitations imposed on him by others. It simply was not in his nature. He had the heart of a Bedouin, if the responsibilities of a landed royal.
"You do not wish to marry me," she repeated, refusing to be sidetracked. "And I won't let you be forced into doing so by duty."
Nor would she allow herself to be railroaded into a marriage with the potential to be every bit as miserable as her parents was for so many years.
His eyes narrowed, his expression turning even more grim than usual. "You are not making any sense."
"We've been promised for ten years, Zahir. If you had wanted to marry me, we would already be living in wedded harmony here in your family's palace." They would definitely at least be formally engaged

A fun, fast paced romance with likable characters, The Spy Who Wants Me is a winner from beginning to end. Right from the start Elle is obviously a woman not to be messed with when she is working but she is also a vulnerable woman who has lost at love before. Beau has also known his share of heartache and vulnerability and it makes him a more appealing character because of it. This third book in The Goddard Project series is a wonderful addition to a charming library of work from Lucy Monroe. A Romance Review
