Editorial Review:
Dr. Raleigh Foster, an operative for a top-secret intelligence organization, knows that her undercover work has its risks. So she doesn't hesitate when asked to infiltrate Scimitar, the terrorist group that has stolen lethal environmental technology. But when she's assigned a partner--brooding, sexy Adam Grayson--to pose as her lover, Raleigh discovers that the most dangerous risk of all...is falling in love.
Adam blames himself for the botched mission that got his best friend killed by Scimitar, and he believes that Raleigh may have contrbited to the man's death. Yet, the closer he works with his alluring partner, the more his suspicions turn to trust--and intense desire. Now, as he and Raleigh untangle a twisted web of secrets and lies, the tension mounts between them...until their masquerade as a couple proves too tempting to resist.
Rules Of Engagement (Arabesque) Reviews:
Good spy story, romance mmmm not so convincing 
2008-06-26 - Ms Selena Montgomery writes adventurous suspense stories this one for a debut novel is great , would make a fantastic movie. Adam makes a classic or even better version of a black James Bond, Rayleigh an equal side kick however I found the romantic element boring. For highly intelligent people they both had the emotional quotient of little children especially Rayleigh.
But apart from that great book!
Mystery, Action, Romance and Intrigue 
2002-08-03 - If I could have lived the pages of this book!!! I like a book that grabs me from the first page and won't let go. That's what this book did. Raleigh is my Shero. Stubborn, strong willed and gutsy!! Then Adam is suave and and tries to hide how he really feels about Raleigh because he feels she killed a good friend of his. Turns out everything they both know is not true. Together they discover truth and fall in love.
ok
2002-05-12 - Raleigh and Adam has to pose as lovers to bring down a terrorist group. Adam blames Raleigh for the death of his best friend, who Raleigh had worked on a earlier case with. I throught the storyline was good between Raleigh and Adam, but a lot of the material in the book was kind of boring, and hard to understand, especially all the stuff about breaking codes.
Double "O" Soul
2002-03-06 - Selena creates a "James Bond"-type character in Adam Grayson, complete with unheard of (but conceivable) gadgetry, death-defying feats, exotic places and various twists.
Unlike Bond & his numerous easy conquests, however, Adam is matched with a young and beautiful woman who is every bit his equal (except in a few areas where she is clearly better).
The hero & heroine are faced with several challenges that seem insurmountable. But the challenge that looms over them throughout the story, is potentially fatal. You have two people whose very lives depend on them never letting their guard down; who live by a creed that requires that they trust no one. Yet, they are forced into a bitter/sweet relationship that soon becomes a love/hate relationship.
Adam & Raleigh may be soul-mates. They may be meant for each other. But neither will accept less than a "complete love" from the other. Can either give his/herself completely to the other? If either can & does, how will the other react?
Read it to find out.
Selena did a superb job of combining a mystery with a romance. I especially like her style of creating positive, wholesome characters that represents a part of the Afican-American community that is rarely highlighted.
RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
2001-09-03 - Selena Montgomery has given us a sizzling, challenging romance. The balance of power between Raleigh and Adam gives hope that a strong woman can maintain her integrity and still sizzle. The dialogue and descriptions are witty and engaging. Montgomery ably shapes a luscious love story through the technical machinations of the spy culture.
