Product Description
Battle-honed Wolfe Houston is on a mission of national security: protect valuable government assets targeted by hostiles. But tracking down four genetically enhanced service dogs and guarding their furry backs 24/7 is going to take all of Wolfe's tactical skills. The dogs' unsuspecting civilian trainer, Kit O'Halloran doesn't know that deadly mercenaries are determined to kidnap her charges. With puppies to find and bullets to dodge, there's no time to waste -- so why is Kit pressed against an adobe wall by moonlight, reveling in the hot magic of Wolfe's slow, skillful hands? Wolfe is fascinated by Kit's devotion to her puppies, especially Baby, the incorrigible runt of the litter. But two other civilian trainers have died under strange circumstances -- and a foreign government has just posted a staggering bounty for Kit's capture. Before Wolfe can explore their burgeoning attraction, the two are on the run, forced to guess which of their secret contacts is friend . . . and which is deadliest foe. Only Baby can lead them through the storm to safe haven in each other's arms. Good dog!

 Code Name: Mediocre September 14, 2007
(2 & 1/2 starts to be exact) This book is the beginning of a series within a series. Skye's "Code Name" books all involve romances with Navy Seals. Starting with this book, the Seals are part of a surreal group with psychic-ish abilities stemming from microchip enhancements. In this book one of these special Seals is protecting a woman who trains very special dogs that will be used on missions. The woman also happens to be the sister of the Seal's friend and fellow member of his team. Sparks begin to fly between the trainer and the Seal. Like in Skye's other Code Name books, the chemistry between the two leads is set up well, but romance part of the story ends rather lamely. The dogs, however, make quite charming characters themselves and make this book more enjoyable.
 More Izzie please April 18, 2006
This latest book to the series was all right but couldn't compete with the others. At first I thought that Izzy wouldn't appear in this book. I love how he returns in each book. He's a comfortable character that your familiar with. I don't think I'd read the books if he was killed off.
Kit O'halloran's childhood hero returns home for a reason he will not elaborate on. He comes in the middle of the night or so she thinks. Attacks a burgurlar and her dogs don't even bark at him.
Kit's dogs are her life when Wolfe returns and with danger. Kit only worries for her dogs. Her dogs are unusually smart and are the reason why Wolfe returned home.
Kit is used to life on the ranch and was content with it until Wolfe came. Now she thinks her life is a little boring. Her best friend Miki agrees. How far is Kit willing to go to make her life more interesting?
So so February 25, 2006

Third book in the Code Name series.
World renowned dog trainer Kit O'Halloran lives alone on the family ranch in New Mexico. Her parents are dead and her older brother is a Firefox operative. Firefox is an ultra-secret government experiment. Wolfe Houston grew up near the O'Halloran ranch and lived there when he couldn't tolerate his abusive parents any longer. Wolfe is a former Navy SEAL and the current Firefox leader. Kit is training four black lab puppies (Baby, Diesel, Butch and Sundance) to be military service dogs. But she doesn't know how "special" they really are. The puppies - and Wolfe and his men - have been bio-engineered with microchip technology to be faster, stronger, tougher. Wolfe can project images. When the previous Firefox leader goes rogue and is a threat to Kit and the puppies, Wolfe is the only one who can handle it. Puppies, lots of action, puppies, interesting twists, puppies and PUPPIES! But I felt like I was missing something at times . . . because I didn't read the first two Code Name books? Maybe.

I used to be a die-hard Christina Skye fan--I adored "Going Overboard" and have read it more times than I can count--but her new Code Name books left me feeling like something was just missing...but this last book was a HUGE improvement. It gives me hope that the old Christina that I used to love is back!

a little bit of an unrealistic plot line but with the amazing details and descriptions it makes you want to believe and makes it easier
