For an older category romance, this one holds up pretty well. There are some dated references regarding internet technology but they are so brief as to be unnoticeable. No dated clothing or pop culture references, either.
I liked the relationship between the hero/heroine. They were well-developed characters, showed some humor and even though they were declaring their love for each other in less than a week's time, their HEA seemed believable.
The suspense plot was a little thin but it was more background than foreground so it didn't negatively impact my overall enjoyment.

Great read. It made me look forward to winter and want to ice skate!
It was a bit of a slow burn, but that's also because I am new-ish to romance and still not used to the different paces. That said, I found the writing really good - the wording, the descriptions, the emotions - and very much enjoyed the characters, both main and secondary.

Sensational opening with a nun walking into a bar. This classic romance thriller follows ice skating princess Emily Quinn after she witnesses a crime at an airport. In the prologue (so I'm not spoiling it), the agent assigned to protect her falls victim to a shooting and he guides her to Washington to collect the debt owed to him by his fellow Navy SEAL, the Archangel.
Gabe Christian has left behind his life in the military, walking away seemingly as easily as he did from the convent where he was raised after he was abandoned at age 6. When a nun walks into his bar, he knows she's bad for business. When she stays after closing and presents him with the dog tags of the man who saved his life, he takes notice.
A category thriller (Loveswept line so there are some steamy scenes), the only thing I didn't like was the way the POV kept changing (but to be fair, this is an older book) sometimes every three or four paragraphs, but the author does a good job of always letting the reader know whose POV is telling the story.
I can see why this book is still recommended by so many as the opening did compel me.

3.5 stars, interesting story. The hero wasn't your typical hero, he was alpha male but he was just kind of lacking. It had a few steamy scenes, over the top with second guessing by both protagonists.

September 16, 2012Overall a pretty good story. There was a good bit of action and some suspense. The romantic part of the story was heartwarming and at times touchy with just the right amount of steaminess.

I like books that combine romance with mystery. This was a quick, but fun read.
