~ ENJOYABLE ROMANTIC SUSPENSE - NOTHING PROFOUND, BUT THAT CAN BE A GOOD THING (4 stars) ~
tle too quickly for me and is a little unbelievable - they've only known one another for a few days and they haven't exactly been a regular couple of days - but oh well. I mean, what exactly about this book was believable?!
The suspense subplot was a good one and I liked that the reactions by the leading characters were so realistic (for the most part) throughout. Becca's life is at risk and she's threatened with rape - so guess what, she reacts like a normal person was and is afraid! Wow, how unusual! I hate in romances where the danger(s) that the leading characters face does not elicit any type of normal reaction on the fear-scale; it makes the threat feel completely ridiculous and pointless to the reader. That didn't happen here, which I appreciated.
It is part of a series (Book 5), but I didn't feel out of the loop. I had read reviews for the other books, so had somewhat of a sense of the connections between them and who people were, but not much. Doesn't detract from the experience if you read this as a stand-alone, though there are some events that happened in the past that I definitely did not completely get - they impact Nick, so they're important - and I think those things occurred in previous books, so that was a little annoying. Nothing major though.
Overall, great read. Look forward to exploring this author's other books.
