The below is basically a repeat of my previous Hauser review with just a few changes.
I'm always at a loss with Hauser's books, yet something keeps pulling me back into them. I enjoy than as a whole, but when I try to analyze them I have so many issues with things like the editing, the total and complete suspension of belief that is required for a none sci-fi / werewolf type of book, the lack of depth etc... So basically, there is something about the characters and world she creates I like, but I just can't tell you what it is; other than a very guilty pleasure. If you are new to this author, I highly suggest you read many reviews from both ends of the spectrum to get a feel.
I really felt for and worried about the job change required for the son's love interest. I can't imagine how hard it would be for a macho man to be treated in such a way in the press. Yet for this book they remain solid. I find my heart saddened about the possible shared abuse for two characters. It was a sad yet interesting read, that for a Hauser book felt a little more real than normal.

Well, with Hauser it's either a hit or miss. This was not one of my favorites. This is not a stand alone, in my opinion. I don't know if it's my mood at the time I'm reading whichever book in this series but I feel like the characters' personalities change. Maybe it's just me. I'm a big Hauser fan so I hope she can forgive me this review.

Always excited to see an addition to the Action series....I never know what's gonna happen next in Marks life. I' so excited that Mark and Steven's story is being made into a movie now...Capital Games! Can't get enough of Hauser's boys!
