This is the second book I've ready by Lynn Shannon, and while I still don't fully get the love for this series yet, I will say that I did find myself enjoying Nathan and Cassie's story. I don't know, but after hearing the love some of the people I follow have for this series, and Lynn Shannon's books in general, I still feel that personally something is missing. I enjoy Romantic Suspense, and at a basic level these have been fun reads with sweet romances and offer a steady dose of action and suspense, but I've yet to find whatever factor it is that makes me really connect with a book, character, or series so far. There's still hope, as I tend to enjoy a series more with each passing book, and I definitely found myself more engaged with this one. (Which I slightly hate, since I have no idea why I didn't love Jason's book more, and it makes me a little sad. I know everyone is different and all, but 'on paper' his book should have had the perfect combo to at least make for a fun read, but somehow while it was okay and a good story I wasn't engaged...?)
I'm determined to keep reading to at least finish this series and give both the series and Lynn Shannon a fair chance. And I admit, after reading this one, I am looking forward to Tucker's story at least, and the others have potential as well. I ended up liking Kyle and Nathan in Critical Risk, so there's hope that I'll find a book I love in this series yet!
(Please don't take me wrong here, I mean nothing bad against the series or author at all! It's definitely not her fault, and if I do find whatever it is that is the 'missing' element for me in these, I'll happily update my reviews, since I'd love to know as well what it is that I'm struggling with here, but so far I'm finding these books to be quick reads that are fun while they last, but sadly forgettable. Which I know isn't always the case with the genre... So, I'm just writing down my thoughts and didn't want to wait to long to get a review up, in part so that I can read the next book, and in part so I didn't forget anything that I wanted to add. I would love to share more on this one, but I don't want to risk spoilers as it's late and this one needs a good dose of mystery and is definitely one I'd recommend going in 'blind' and with as little as possible knowledge about the book about book before reading. It's one that is better to let the mystery unfold naturally while reading.)
