Helpful Score: 4
Whoever decided to put this awful cover on this excellent book should be ashamed. The book is so much better than the cover could ever lead you to believe. The author deserved so much better and I look forward to reading more by her.
I was interested in reading this after I read a review of it over at Smart Bitches Trashy Books in which the reviewer couldn't stop raving about it. She was so right. The plot is full of surprises to the point that I am reluctant to give even a brief summary. The author has a way of writing so that it is always clear when the characters are not speaking English (which they are not for most of the book), even though that is the language we're reading. As a stylistic device this could have been incredibly annoying and yet I thought it worked very well.
The heroine was interesting, smart, and funny. I cared what happened to her as opposed to her just being a place marker to move the plot forward to the Happily Ever After. The hero was heroic, and yet he made mistakes. I am extremely curious about the back story of several of the supporting characters and I hope we'll hear more from them. Even if we don't, I am really looking forward to Bourne's next book.
