BOOK SUMMARY
Shy Jane Spyrus loves gadgets. She can build
anything B.L.I.S.S. needs in the international organization’s fight against
crime-although its agents aren’t exactly lining up at her door. Some of them
think her inventions are a little too . . . well, innovative. Like her
shrink-wrap prophylactic constraints, or her spray-on truth serum.
Of course, you can’t use wacky inventions to
fix all your problems; Jane knows that better than anyone. Her neighbor has
been kidnapped, driving that point home. She will have to team up with another
human being-and Abel Andretti arrives just in time. He will help Jane find her
neighbor, stop a villain, and most of all he will show Jane to love the
daylights out of something without batteries.

EXCERPT
“Jane?” Mr. Manetrue’s
voice pierced her panicked thoughts. Jane glanced up to find all eyes turned
expectantly her way immediately felt her heart sink. It was her turn.
Swallowing
nervously, Jane picked up her briefcase, set it on the table, then stood and
opened it. She started to retrieve items, noting with a sort of detached
interest that her hands were shaking... as usual. Wishing once again that she
wasn’t such a poor speaker, Jane closed the case and held up two small silver
cases.
“I..um..” She
stopped and cleared her throat, then tried again. “Last month we lost one of
our agents when she was forced to remove all her clothes and jewelry, including
the wristwatch tracker which is standard issue to all employees at BLISS. She
was later found dead.”
Jane paused and took
a nervous drink of water, then forced a sickly smile and marshaled on. “That
incident got me thinking about a tracker that wouldn’t be discovered.”
“And you came up
with a cigarette case?” Dick Hedde snickered.
“It isn’t a
cigarette case.” Jane turned it so that he could see that it was thicker than
that. “Besides, it isn’t the case itself that is the tracker.” She opened the
case and turned it so that everyone could see the long white items inside. “I
came up with B.T.T.’s. BLISS Tampon Trackers.”
Jane took in the
blank expressions around her and felt her stomach roll over. It was Y who
finally asked, “Am I to understand that those are actual tampons?”
Jane bit her lip.
While Y didn’t sound upset, she also didn’t sound overly impressed with this
ingenious idea. “Well, yes. They will function as actual tampons as well. But
they also hold tracking devices that have a range of-”
“But what if the
agent isn’t menstrual?” Unsurprisingly, the woman wasn’t rattled by this
conversation. Her calm attitude had a settling effect on Jane.
“Oh, well I thought
of that. There are lubricated and unlubricated.” She held up a second case and
opened it to reveal several more tampons, these distinguishable from the others
only in that they were an off-white. “The lubricated are easily inserted and
easily removable and only serve the purpose of a tracker, while the
non-lubricated are absorbent and-”
“The tracking
device is waterproof, I presume?” Y interrupted again.
“Yes. It’s at the
very center of the tampon and waterproof. They also has an estimated life of
two years.”
Y nodded, then sat
back without comment. Everyone was silent. Most of the older members of D &
C were eyeing the B.T.T.’s speculatively and nodding. Lizzy was grinning
encouragingly at her and Dick, well he was sneering nastily. The man was
obviously just waiting for an opportunity to tear at her. Deciding not to give
him that opportunity and that she’d said enough on this subject for now, Jane
set the silver cases back into her briefcase. Taking a deep breath, she then
removed two more items. One was a four inch square flat piece of wood with a
spike sticking out of it, the other was a banana. She set the wood, spike up,
on the table top, then impaled the banana on it peel and all. Finally, she
retrieved several small foil packets from her briefcase, wondering all the
while what on earth she was thinking of to present this item. It had seemed
brilliant in an evil gleeful sort of way when she’d come up with it, but now-
with all those eyes trained on her - it seemed the most foolish thing she’d
ever come up with. What had she been thinking?
CAT'S REVIEW
"The Loving Daylights" by Lynsay Sands - I have read several of Ms. Sands works and this one was certainly a bit different but not any less enjoyable. Throughout I was chuckling and, at times, laughing so hard I had to put the book down (well, my Kindle actually). It certainly isn't a very serious story, although the plot can be considered one - a friend is kidnapped and Jane, our heroine, must save her. However, the path to salvation is one that is filled with comical situations. Abel, our Hero of the story, is beyond words with everything he discovers about Jane and her job. I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop and grow too. Oh, and Gran and Tinkle are real pips too. If you're looking for a really light read that will have you smiling and chuckling throughout, this is the one. Don't miss out! (Received copy for honest review)
