Shado Agency #2
I Spy a Naughty Game
The mask slips…
Blaze Kelly, one of the Secret Homeland Defense Organization’s top spies, is a powerful D/s master, all raw male and hard to handle. Yet underneath his tough facade, he hides a wounded soul that aches from losing the woman he loves. Emma Foster uses disguises too—part of her job as a costume and makeup artist for SHADO. But loving her work doesn’t mean she’s excited about her next mission with the sexy man who broke her heart.
Together they must stop ex-agent Robert Dietz, who plans to transfer a weapon of mass destruction into unfriendly hands. When they pose as husband and wife to infiltrate the enemy group, their mission involves them in an illicit sexual game that forces Blaze and Emma to explore their darkest, most dangerous desires—and that threatens to break even the steeliest of spies…

I Spy A Naughty Game (SHADO Agency) by Jo Davis
Erotic Contemporary- Sep 7, 2010
4 stars
I Spy a Naughty Game was a quick easy read but be prepared for some very uninhibited and hedonistic sex behind its tame cover! (This story has multiple partners, ménage and m/m scenes.) The hero is very unconventional and the heroine was very loveable.
Emma is smart, sweet and sassy. She also has a job she loves and finds rewarding. The only problem is that her ex and fellow agent Blaze betrayed her. She found him in a ménage and left him. Blaze had been pressuring her to try his alternative life style. One where he enjoys being the dominant in all things…
Since both are agents, they must still work together. Blaze is a field agent and Emma primarily works as disguise artist. She loves to use her skills to help other agents blend in to their assignments. Emma just wants to live her life and try to forget Blaze. That is until she discovers his last mission went bad and he was shot! Can Emma really stop loving Blaze? Can she accept a man she feels betrayed her trust? Emma finds out that a rogue agent named Dietz caused this disaster she and Blaze are assigned to work together to catch him. But working with Blaze involves going undercover as Blaze’s submissive! Emma feels cornered especially when she finds out if she doesn’t volunteer another agent will be assigned to ‘work’ with Blaze. She agrees but their plans soon go awry when Emma is kidnapped by Dietz.
This story smolders as the author starts out hot and steamy. I really felt for Emma. I could understand her reservations and issues of trust when is came to Blaze. I liked that Emma is portrayed as a ballsy and tough agent who also has a soft side. I feel a lot of readers can relate to her. Emma is used to having control in her life and she prizes order. Being with Blaze would force her wilder side out, a side that she has not explored before. And it scares her. I thought Blaze was masterful and sexy someone who definitely took care of her needs and his. The one big problem I had with the story is how quickly and easily Emma capitulates to being with Blaze again. It didn't seem realistic even if the scenes sizzled. I had hoped that Emma would make Blaze wait and prove himself before jumping into bed with him immediately. Another thing readers might find objectionable is that there is a scene between the hero and another male during the time Emma is captured. But to be fair Emma has some fun of her own, too!
This romance explores Emma's journey as she gets more sexually adventurous. In fact, sometimes I felt this book reads more like a fantasy of different sex scenes although the 2 main characters and case make it more cohesive. And in this respect this is a sexy and fun book not to be taken seriously.
For pure scorching sex and a likeable heroine this was a great read, but I felt some of the scenes were unrealistic and too unconventional for the vanilla reader.

All of SHADO, a covert homeland security agency, is on the hunt for an ex-agent who is planning to sell an imaginably powerful weapon to America’s enemies. SHADO agents Blaze Kelly and Emma Foster are part of a team that’s going undercover to target their former colleague’s backers. Being thrown together by the mission is both heaven and hell for Blaze and Emma. The two were lovers until Emma broke it off after learning of Blaze’s D/s lifestyle. Though they still love one another, Emma can’t quite wrap her mind around the idea of being Blaze’s submissive…though part of her secretly yearns for it.
When the two discover that their mission will require them to pose as Master and sub, Blaze eagerly takes the opportunity to win Emma over. He’ll push her boundaries, seduce her into exploring the most hidden parts of her sensuality, and reopen her heart to him – and with so many lives at stake due to their mission, this time, Emma has nowhere to run.
Jo Davis scintillates in the sizzling I Spy a Naughty Game. The second installment of Ms. Davis’s SHADO Agency series moves with lightning speed, and is, on the whole, entertaining. I will admit, I Spy a Naughty Game lacks some of the spark its predecessor, I Spy a Wicked Sin had. Blaze and Emma are incredibly likeable heroes, but they never fully came to life for me and were often overshadowed by more intriguing secondary characters. Their mission, while important, plays second fiddle to the erotic content of the book, which isn’t a bad thing, except that it lessened the depth of the world Ms. Davis set up in I Spy a Wicked Sin. Add in a few editing errors that were noticeable enough to pull me out of the book, and I Spy a Naughty Game felt a touch more like erotica with a splash of plot than I would have liked. However, I would still stress that I Spy a Naughty Game is a fun read and there absolutely are fascinating characters in the story that captured my interest. I enjoyed I Spy a Naughty Game, but perhaps the book’s biggest impact on me was that it left me wall-climbingly impatient for the next SHADO Agency book, I Spy a Dark Obsession. I admit to having peeked at who the third SHADO Agency’s protagonists were and, I assure you, if you read I Spy a Naughty Game, Ms. Davis will leave you hungry for the next book as well.

This one was just ok. There was a lot that I had a hard time buying into. First of all all of these people being spies not believable at all. Also Blaze keeps going on and on about being a Dom, but he seems to switch roles fairly easy. Emma, at the beginning, hates all things D/s, in fact they break up because of it. So with this in their recent past I find it hard to believe that due to the mission and Emma not wanting Blaze to be with anyone else she fully embraces this life style and not only embraces it, but also they are mic'ed and have small cameras on them all the time with others listening and watching.

I love Jo Davis. She writes about very hot men. If any man could make you want to be dominated it would be Blaze Kelly. Every time the man gave and order I wanted to act on it. lol Emma might have fought what he was but soon fell for him. This is book two in the Shado Agency series and these books need to be read in order because the story line runs through them all. It starts in one and will end in book 3. I have to say the suspense story line is not the strongest and the sex rules the story, but I think you'll find that the characters carry the story for you.

I didn't love this book. I didn't really get a good feel for Emma being an agent, and the whole BDSM theme was a little out there. Some of the sex scenes were hot, some were just so-so. The suspense part was good and was an integral part of continuing the SHADO storyline.
