I don’t know if this would be classified as a romantic political thriller suspense, or if that genre even exists. It is more than a romantic suspense. There were moments that grabbed my attention and I could not put it down. There were moments that felt so slow I contemplated putting the book down but, then the story would pick up again. Some of this story had some very dark moments.
I liked Blake, although I expected him to be more of an alpha then he seemed at the beginning. Syd seemed rather cold, aloof, and off putting through parts of the book. My favorite person was GW. I liked his character and his conversation was the most animated of anyone.
For the most part, this was a fast paced, entertaining read. I would give it 3.5 stars. The political scene hit a little too close to home for me. I like to read to escape reality, and I did not find that escape here. That is not to say that in another time and space, I am sure I would have enjoyed it more. I would suggest you read it and judge for yourself. I think it is well worth the effort.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it. I will be purchasing it shortly. Hopefully the author will continue to create this type of book again (soon!!!)
OMGosh!!!! Five stars does not do this book justice. It requires at least a 10!!!!! I normally don’t do political suspense thrillers even with the romance but I gave this a shot. I am so very glad for the opportunity to read this. I was blown away. Usually there are way too many characters for me to keep track of but that was not the case here. Too much violence is also a big turn off and gives me nightmares (I read romance to escape the harsh realities for a short time.) Again this book was not overly graph in minute details. There was just enough to be believable but not over the top.
The way this book was written, it played out like an action movie. There was just enough details so I could use my mind to picture the scenes. The characters were fantastic and so believable. The plot flowed so smooth (again easy to get lost in.) I really hated to see it come to an end.
The book was written with a dual POV. Thank goodness some of the action would have boggled my mind. This book captured me right from the beginning. I unfortunately started reading around 11:00 p.m. and forced myself to bed at 3:00 a.m. when my eyes blurred. I was too caught in the book to fall asleep though. I love this book. I will definitely be reading more from Ms. Stone. HIGHLY recommended
Great read! Got pulled in from the first chapter and did not want to put the book down. Well worth the price. This is one author I will have to keep my eye on. Will definitely read more of her books.
