I'm not the biggest fan of erotica, so this was a little iffy for me going in. I thought it would be better because its plot sounded interesting: Men and women who work for an agency who seduce people to find out business secrets, plots for bad things, microchips etc, but Jade--the main character--starts to have feelings for her target.
I'm not sure if it was the writing style or just the way the author had decided to play the story out but I couldn't get into it. It was really heavy on the sex in that first 25% and like I said not a fan of too much sex.
I really need to stay away from books that are more sex than romance.

I struggled to get into this to start with. I understand the author was just giving us background information so we would understand what Rania had been through for the last ten years or so but I found myself not liking it so much.
It picked up when Hunter turned up and I quickly found myself intrigued by how the Iraqi girl and the American boy would communicate with each other. It was surprisingly sweet, learning each other the others' language so they could communicate more effectively.
I liked how Hunter also jumped to Rania's defence though he hardly knew her and wanted to help her with her situation, getting angry whenever she had to nip next door to the Mosque, while he was helpless and in pain.

Apparently this is the third in the series but I had absolutely no idea and it definitely didn't take anything away from my enjoyment of this book, if anything, it has made me want to read the others all the more.
This book is full of twists, turns and action with excellent characters and written at a good pace. The plot is intricate but easy to follow and the back story of Connor's past is an interesting addition that gives him more depth.
If you enjoy action-packed, crime thrillers that keep you guessing, then I would have no hesitation in recommending this.
Many thanks to Constable, Little, Brown Book Group UK and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.
