1st book for this author and it was "great". 1st romantic suspense I've read in a while and I was quite impressed. Brainy Noelle has trouble breathing down her neck and hunky David of the Delta Force is there to protect her and more. I read this in 2 days. Action, suspense and romance a perfect trio. You won't want to miss it. Looking forward to her next one. Enjoy!

4 1/2 stars!
Overall, a pretty great Romantic Suspense novel... It took me a while to warm up to the heroine, but by the end, she turned into a favorite.... She doesn't simper! and she doesn't just take what the Hero offers, because he's just so hot, and gorgeous, and strong, and etc that she just can't help herself. She wants it all or nothing, which is just so damn refreshing, it's hard not to love her!
The hero was pretty awesome as well, though he proved to be a bit more frustrating then the heroine. He wasn't a man whore, he wasn't an asshole, but he could be willfully blind, which in turn made me want to kick him a few times...Despite that one tendency, he was easy to like as well.
As for the story....It's more focused on romance then suspense, but they're both heavily present (Maybe 60 % romance and 40% suspense) and it keeps you entertained all the way to the last page, despite a rather quick end to the big bad villain. It also wasn't as detailed in the back stories of either character, nor did it give a lot of detail into why the bad guys were bad (rather we just got vague descriptions) though neither of those detract from the story.
I think my only major disappointment was that the romantic aspect of the story was resolved a bit too easily; I'd have preferred the H having time to himself to think through things, instead of being guilt ridden through 99% of the book, then in the last pages realize he has no reason to feel guilty. Other then that though, this was a really well written story, and has earned its place on my keeper shelf :)

A great read. So much better than the second installment of the series "No Control." Noelle was such a great character. She wasn't the kick-butt kind of her but she was just smart and fun. David was your typical alpha with guilt issues. The story is very fast paced and it's a very quick read.
Looking forward to Grant's story.

Very formulaic, brainiac heroine with uber-alpha-male hero. Have to look at the review that made me order it again, so I don't read any more of that reviewers comments.
