There is so much negative going on for 90% of the book that the reader figures it is never going to work out. It adds to the tension, but I could have used a little easement a little earlier. As it was, I enjoyed the book, but it wasn't very relaxing at any point. Well, maybe the last few pages.
Will Shannon is a former Secret Service agent working as a bodyguard. When his client ends up dead in the next room, he knows something is fishy. So he seeks the help of a former partner and lover, Caitlyn Monroe. Fast-paced, gripping and suspenseful! Enjoyable romance too.
This one was a bit disappointing. I have enjoyed the other novels I've read by Gayle Wilson so this one was a bit of a letdown. The plot was farfetched. The story had many holes in it as well.
It did not make sense to me that if Cait and Will had such a great connection that they would let the assassination tear them apart for two years. Why weren't they trying to continue their relationship during that time?
It did not make sense that they had no clue as to where the other one stood as far as the relationship. The point was made over and over that they were such great partners because they knew what the other one was thinking so why were they so clueless what the other one was thinking with regards to the relationship?
The love making scene on top of the life preservers was ridiculous. At least every life preserver I've ever seen has buckles and lumps, etc. The floor would have been better or why not out in the woods or grass? They were in a desolate location.
