This is the first contemporary romantic suspense novel I've read by Julie Garwood. Overall, the action is fast-paced and the characters were interesting. However, I had a problem with both of the main characters. Finn MacBain was too perfect (4.0 GPA, lawyer, Olympian athlete {3 metals, no less}, drop-dead gorgeous, FBI agent, etc.). Peyton Lockhart is drop-dead gorgeous, is a chef (although that is barely alluded to), and is so wonderful that she makes life-long friends at the drop of a hat. These two aren't real mortals.

I gave it 4 stars for being what it is -- good escape reading. In fact, I finished it in one sitting because it kept my attention until the end.
