Amber Jewel had no idea she was placing her life on the line or that her world would never be the same as she was escorted past the US Department of State security teams and into the grand, flag-draped lobby. The two men who watched from above in a hidden security chamber reached for their hotline. "She's here"
This book was interesting. I almost gave it three stars but then slept on it. What I found most frustrating about it was that the author would switch between using "I" and then "She" for the main character with in the same paragraph. Which broke up the flow of the story as I had to stop and make sure that I didn't miss another person entering the scene. What made me give it 4 stars is that I am still thinking about it two days after reading it.
I am thinking about how I am not sure what genre this book is trying to be. It opens with the main character reflecting on her life in the state department, so I thought it was going to be about her travels. But, no. It then opens with a far fetched description of how she gets her job in the state department. Then it morphs into a romance as she struggles with being in love with two men. Then her life is in danger and suddenly becomes a thriller.
It was a quick, short read. The story moved along at a good pace, there were not any boring parts. I won this on the Goodreads giveaways.
This was an easy, quick read with an interesting storyline. I really liked Amber, the main character and loved the way this lingerie model adapted to her new environment in the State Department!
The downside, which has been mentioned in other reviews, is that the book flits from writing in the 1st person to the 3rd person frequently and this can be quite confusing.
An entertaining novella all the same and I thank the author for giving me the opportunity to read and review it.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and a big thank you to Goodreads for sending it to me. I liked the very small chapters, but saying that - I could put the book down to do something and come back and not really have to try to remember what has just happened. It was a quick read and easy read, but very intriguing! I totally enjoyed it! THANK YOU!
