Huh. Well I wasn't expecting that.

This is going to have to be my first Tim O'Rourke three star book, I'm afraid. I didn't find it as easy to get into when Hope was being all insecure. I'm used to tough heroines from the author and I'm not sure I liked Hope much at all.

The romance was a little iffy for me too, I didn't quite understand the attraction--at least not until the end.

And speaking of the end, what was that ending!? That's one of the reasons for the three star rating. Another is that I had my suspicions about the truth from about the time of the trouble with her friend and her ex, so the ending wasn't too much of a surprise.

Not my favourite book by the author but still pretty good.

Military romance seems to be my favourite thing to read at the moment. I love sexy alpha males and hot 'hold their own' heroines and this book does not disappoint. I enjoyed the technical details that seem to bring a scene to life and there's no shortage of steamy bits too. This fast became a book I couldn't put down.

Only one issue I had with this book and that was the phrase 'flaming fish balls' , once or twice I could have handled but it's constantly cropping up, I thought it was because the author wanted a substitute for the 'F word' , nope, I was wrong because ' f''king flaming fish balls' was in it too. This did detract from my enjoyment and so I give this book a 3.5 Stars instead of a 4. I would certainly read others by this author and I would recommend this book.

3.5 Stars

DNF @ 76%

I know, I should gave finished it after slogging through 3/4 of the book but it appears that what I was reading wasn't sinking in. I just read a bit at the end of the last chapter and I was like, "When did that happen?"

I have struggled with it from the beginning. I'm currently into my paranormal books again and this was a freebie on Amazon. I was hoping it would be like the last book I read,

 but it's nothing like it.

I like my kick arse heroines with brooding love interests and I found our heroine in this to be too whiny and selfish. The wanting her family to know she's still alive despite knowing how dangerous it could be for them all. I normally don't get too bothered by character personalities and decisions by jeez, Erin did my head in.
