Hello Gorgeous!

From Booklist
Caitlyn James, an orphaned Minneapolis hair stylist, wakes up nine days after dying in a Florida car wreck. Seemingly the perfect specimen for a secret government experiment code-named Wagner, she has been turned into the "Bionic Woman." Nanotechnology drives her new superhuman powers, and now the government, in the form of a little toad of a man called "the Boss," claims she owes them. She agrees to fulfill one mission and one mission only. So they send her to "neutralize" a computer hacker who has created a virus that fills every computer it infects with pornography. Discovering that her target is a zit-ridden adolescent, she decides not to assassinate him after he promises to stop if she helps him lose his virginity. She then signs up for more adventures when the Wagner team comes under the assault of a rogue agent known as "the Wolf." Davidson's over-the-top humor and raunchily funny sex scenes will delight her fast-growing cadre of fans, while Janet Evanovich fans will also enjoy Davidson's rough-talking heroine.

The Barnes & Noble Review
MaryJanice Davidson introduces a fast-talking, shoe-loving heroine in this tale of a party girl turned bionic superspy -- decidedly against her will. The story begins nine days after Caitlyn James, proud owner of the hair salon Magnifique, dies on her 24th birthday in a limo crash, only to be saved by a strange government agency that cyborgs her back to life. Now Caitlyn is faster and stronger than most people. She would be content to be a bionic hair stylist, but it seems she owes the agency and its loathsome Boss a big favor: to bring in the only other cyborg on the planet, a gorgeous Lithuanian named Dmitri, who is suspected of a string of murders. But Dmitri looks more like a potential love object than a sociopath, and Caitlyn is able to figure it all out in between tequila shots and manicure touch-ups. Like Davidson's Betsy Taylor titles (Undead and Unwed and Undead and Unemployed), Hello, Gorgeous! is nonstop fun. Ginger Curwen
