the only reason i gave this book more than one star is b/c i actually was able to finish it. however, the only reason i did finish it is b/c i was hoping the main character would somehow redeem herself by the end of the book. i thought, perhaps if she could gain some sort of identity and self- respect by the last page i may forgive her for being such a loser all throughout. BUT, to my disappointment, she stayed a loser till the last page and never since gogol ganguli have i been so annoyed and irritated by a main character as i was with this chick.
Exactly how a writer should sound like.
Not as good as other books in the Troubleshooters series. I seldom give a fast-fun-fiction read more than a 3, so this speaks well for this. Brockmann is one of the best romance/mystery writers. Her books include topics that have to be well researched to be believable. What drags this down (and drags almost all romance writing down -- as far as I'm concerned) is the plethora of bedroom love scenes. NOT necessary, especially when there's a healthy mystery component. How many times and ways can you describe sex, and believe me, these romance writers don't want the readers to miss one moment from start to finish which annoys me. But the whole series is a "saga" (like watching Boston Legal), so I'll continue on reading as long as the series continues. I'm hooked on the characters.
