"It is pure fun reading this satiical romance"

Jane Spyrus is the top inventor for B.L.I.S.S. Her work enables those working in the cold to succeed in very dangerous endeavors. For that, the ultra shy Jane is highly regarded by her employers though some males might be a bit fearful of some of her gadgets that could cause a cramp or more to the family jewels.

Edie Andretti believes there is something illegal at her place of employment, Ensecksi Satellites. Someone thinks she knows too much and kidnaps Edie, who just before her abduction had taken a tampon from Jane's supply. However, that is no ordinary tampon as Jane has hidden a tracking device inside. With Edie's brother Abel and Jane's wheelchair-bound grandma Maggie, Jane follows the signal, but not before contacting B.L.I.S.S. Abel and Jane fall in love, but must rescue his sibling before they can act on their feelings.

Inane? Absolutely, but who will care as those beautiful ladies with their sex gadgetry save the world from evil doers. The third B.L.I.S.S. espionage romantic satire is fun due to the antics of timorous Jane and able Abel. Lynsay Sands spins a delightful story that is silly escapism entertainment for the Jane and James Bonds of the Casino Royale movie world.

Summary

Shy Jane Spyrus loves gadgets. She can build anything B.L.I.S.S. needs in its international fight against crime— although agents aren't exactly queuing up at her door. Some of them think her innovations are too...well, innovative. Like her shrink-wrap prophylactic constraints. But they just don't realize that item's potential. Of course, you can't use wacky inventions to fix all your problems. Jane will have to team up with another human being—and Abel Andretti arrives just in time. He will help Jane find her kidnapped neighbor, stop the evil machinations of Dirk Ensecksi, and most of all he will show her how to love the daylights out of something without batteries.
