Review # 1 was written on 2010-01-04 00:00:00 Rusty Wells Honestly, maybe I should have given the book 2 stars. I read Romance for the happy endings. I wanted to love Shane and Sherry. I really wanted to but they both ticked me off, almost through the whole book and even though we were 'given a happy ending' in 'let's get marital counseling,' it didn't feel like a happy ending to me. It felt rough, like I had just read a book on a couple with marital troubles who happen to have two adorable children and thwart a kidnapping/terrorist attack. They don't even seem to like each other. Oh sure, in their thoughts, he says he admires her but then he yells at her for the thing he claims to like and she does the same. It was not, in my opinion, a romance novel. Its left me trained and sort of sad for the main characters. I'm going to try another Catherine Mann book but if its like this than I am done.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-06-13 00:00:00 Robert Whyte Watching a bird take a dump is more suspenseful than this book. At least you get to wonder where the bird poo is going to land. With the first 19 chapters filled with the leading couple pre-divorce marital problems and pseudo-angst, and another couple�s skirting the issue of him having called her a different name in bed (four years ago!), this book had no room for wondering about the bad guys and their martyr-ish quest. All the action and resolution was crammed into the 20th chapter, offering no specific reason for the bad guys� martyr-ish quest, but only serving as the turning point for the solving of the pre-divorce marital problems and pseudo-angst of the leading couple. The other couple resolved their issue early on. Call me nuts, but I expect much, much more from a romantic suspense labeled book. Some suspense would be nice. And female characters that I don�t want to bitch-slap into kingdom-come. For all their self-sacrificing, NGO-working, third-world-country-children-adopting, holier-than-thou qualities, the two female protagonists (the married and single one) just plainly got on my nerves. I�m all for girl power, but not everything is the man�s fault. And it figures the two would figure it out when it was almost too late and proceeded with "celebrating" their newfound knowledge in the last (21st) chapter. Boring, uneventful until the second-to-last crammed chapter, and with characters that did absolutely nothing for me (not even the men, hunky flyboys with god-like looks). A total waste of time and brain-cells.
