Who was Jason Zacharias?
That riddle was the key to Noel Emery's frightening predicament. Ever since she'd arrived in Britain, she'd been plunged into chaos, pursued by assassins. And her guardian angel was a seasoned veteran of murder . . . and a man who claimed to be her husband.
Had Noel once shared lovers' caresses with the dark, dangerous Jason Zacharias? Or was the straining sensuality between them just an illusion? The answer was locked in the best of all hiding places-her mind. A mind that now scrambled fantasy and memory.
Noel's only way out of the maelstrom was to trust her heart--and her life--to a man who pretended to be a protector but who looked every inch a predator.

About the author
Rebecca York
321 books449 followersRuth Glick (born 1942) is a best-selling author of healthy cookbooks and has also written dozens of romantic suspense romance novels under the pen name Rebecca York.
Ruth earned a B.A. in American Thought and Civilization from George Washington University and an M.A. in American Studies from the University of Maryland. Although she always wanted to become a writer, Glick was convinced that her lack of spelling skills meant that her goal was unattainable. As a stay-at-home mother, she took a community college course to help her choose a career. The course made it very clear that writing was her primary interest. Glick began writing articles for newspapers and magazines, but after several years decided to try writing fiction. Her first book, a kids' science fiction book, was finally purchased by Scholastic Inc..
Since then, Glick has become a highly successful author of over 50 romantic suspense and paranormal novels. Many of her novels are published under the Harlequin Intrigue line, and in June 2003, she became one of the first authors published under Berkley's new Sensation imprint. Before 1997, she often collaborated with Eileen Buckholtz and Kathryn Jenson.
Glick also is a highly regarded author of cookbooks focusing on healthy eating. She sometimes hires trained chefs to test the recipes that she creates, and makes sure that every recipe is tested at least three times before it appears in one of her cookbooks.
Glick is the head of the Columbia Writers Workshop. She and her husband, Norman Glick, live in Columbia, Maryland, where Ruth collects rocks, and enjoys cooking, walking, reading, gardening, travel, and Mozart operas. They have two grown children, Elissa and Ethan, and two grandsons (Jesse and Leo).

I wanted to like this. It was fast-paced and I downed it in pretty much one sitting. The problem is that there was too much happening, all given to the reader in ways that made it confusing and often hard to follow. Something that required a detailed explanation might be explained in 1 sentence. The hero's actions were too far outside of the right/wrong, good/evil, compass that I give to all of my fictional characters. And worse yet, the ending was rushed and completely unsatisfying.
I have a lot more of the books in this series but I'm not sure how many more of them I can stomach.

Worthy of James Bond.

Cute book, interesting action. Easy to follow. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something not very strenuous. Easy to read during commute or during times of frequent interruptions.
The characters are not something I'm usually crazy about. The lady in distress who breaks down crying or worse every time something is wrong, which is most of the time. She of course needs the tough guy to take care of her, with double topping of testosterone. The bad guy sounds pretty interesting. Wish there were more scenes showing how his mind works.

I guess this is why sometimes it is better not to re-read books. It's been many years since I last read this book and its rating went from 4 start to 2. Most of it is based on the heroine acting/being the victim throughout. I just really didn't like her. Then the "twist" at the end was interesting but made me like the hero less.

I read this a long time ago, it was forgettable nothing to write home about.

So far-fetched that I eventually lost interest.
