Helpful Score: 2
So...not that good of a book. or impressive...or original...
Pretty much reads like other contemporary (B-grade) romantic suspense. *sigh* Reading so many books just like this one is what pushes my interest right out of the genre.
the story seems to be only half told...I kept thinking there was so much he author wasn't telling us, or explaining. so much so that I sort of feel gipped. There's also some inconsisiteneices in character development... For example, while we spent a good amount of time in the Heroine's head, the Hero didn't do much introspection... which made it harder to like or even know him..
We also get only bits and pieces and impressions of the H and h's first meeting, the book pretty much skips to the here and now.
And there's a secondary storyline that I wasn't terribly interested in...mostly becuase I didn't like the secondary female character. (she and another minor character have their own story going, but it doesn't end at the end of this novel, I'm assumig they'll either get their own, or it will be tied in throughout the series)... Luckily though it didn't take too much space up.
Also, and this may just be me , so please feel free to correct me If I'm wrong, , but It seems in many of Ms Gerard's books the heroine has to do all the (emotional) work/chasing of the Hero... Makes it hard to really like any of them.
And as for the action aspect... Well men who've been fighting as long as the guys in this book have, I expected more from them than the ability to use their weapons... As far as strategizing and forward planning... meh I wasn't impressed... I actually found myself wondering how they managed to stay alive so long.
On the positive side, it only took me a day and half to read this one... And with the exception I mentioned before, I like the secondary characters...If I can get copies of the others in the series, I'll read them, but I doubt any will be going on my permamnent shelf.
