1: Code Name: Bikini
Gina Ryan, cruise ship pastry chef extraordinaire is following her dream. Though she has a secret health issue she has traded in her gun and police badge to create gorgeous desserts aboard a cruise line. She has a fantastic staff and a solid group of friends. Too bad there seems to be a little feud with the plastic woman in charge of beverages. But Gina knows it is nothing she can't handle. What she seems to not be able to handle is the super hot passenger.
Trace is on board the ship as an undercover assignment, not one that this SEAL is used to either. He is supposed to relax, but how can he with the spunky Gina on the same ship? But, when things start to get out of hand not only with his mission and his attraction to Gina will the two be able to get together and defeat the bad guys. More importantly will they figure out how they can continue their relationship?
I found Code Name: Bikini to be an intriguing action packed adventure. I thoroughly loved how Ms. Skye had Gina and Trace play off each other as they continued to be thrown together. I think after you read this story that you will find there was a lot more than baking going on with this pastry chef and SEAL. Not only that but it makes for fun interactions. I found the suspense to be well written and it did take me a while to figure out how it all fit together, which for me is a compliment and keeps me intrigued. I also enjoyed the romance and the well written sexual scenes. I enjoyed Code Name: Bikini and think you will also.

2: Great read....... as always
Christina Skye does it again, all of her "Code Name" books are great, and I would recommend them to anyone, they make you laugh, cry, get angry, and best of all they make you think.
She takes you to a world that you would not normally visit, and lets you enjoy vicariously some thrills and chills, as well as the more erotic side of life.
A great book (series) to sink into, and get away from every day life.

3: The storyline is great, but loose ends...
I liked the hero and heroine. The navy SEAL is a stud of course. The men in this book get hit on a lot. The heroine is also likeable, being a pastry chef. The plot line is interesting.
There are lots of loose ends and bits and pieces that end up going no where. For example, I thought the 'ghost' has something to do with the current case, but she doesn't. I also wonder what happens to the heroine's eye. I wonder why one of her employees turned. The ending was a bit disappointing since it wasn't entirely clear how they will be able to live together, what with his almost prison like career.

4: A Murderous Cruise
Gina Ryan is the pastry chef for a cruise line. She's also losing her sight and keeping secrets.
Trace O'Halloran is a Navy SEAL. He is on the cruise ship for some R&R because he died on his last mission. It's taken him several months to get back to semi-normal after all the surgeries and rehabilitation. Oh, and he is on an undercover operation to ensure the delivery of some very important materials.
Mix in an ex-Navy SEAL, his photographer wife and their identical triplet girls. Add an old team-mate and now enemy. Add a vengeful crew member. Shake well and you have a mystery and a romance that will keep you up reading until late at night.
I like Skye's gimmick of bringing in people from previous novels. If you've read the novels, you're happy to meet old friends, if you haven't, it doesn't change your perception of the novel you're reading

5: Talented Pro Can Make Any Setting Work!
This is just a clever, fun way to spend some time and $$ appreciating a super author at the top of her game. The setting--a cruise ship!!--is new, inventive and works perfectly. Of course an enhanced, highly trained Alpha male with superb eye-hand coordination could do anything--including going undercover as a line cook for an extremely-particular female pastry chef! The sensuality is fairly mild--so if you have an older teen girl feeling left out of the Potter madness--she could do far worse than this book. Good times and new info to be had on how life on a crusise ship for the CREW works.
