Mackenzie's Mission

Mackenzie Mission was a book I was highly anticipating as I just LOVED the first book in the series "Mackenzie's Mountain" and quite frankly this book was sub par lol I am not sure if its because of the narration for it or if the heroine was just written badly. There is also lots of angst in this book that reminded me of old school bodice rippers and just didn't intrigue me that much. I did stick with it because I wanted to give this book a chance, and the second half was definitely way better than the first half. I think its because the first half was just kinda more slow burn and the tension between our pair just didn't quite work for me. I did love the intrigue and mystery in the plot of the second half of the story and seeing the heroine being under suspicion from the military. There are some elements of danger in this one that I was fascinated by and I do admit I couldn't put down the book once I got to about 50%. I am not sure if the author just didn't quite know what to do with this couple and the heroine was prickly and really an annoying feminist. She gave off the aura of me woman and I need no man lol It just rubbed me the wrong way at times. But she does get better though later in the story.

Overall while it had some promise, this book lacked what the first book contained. I will still continue the series but I hope the other books are much better. I might try book 3 physically and see if maybe it was a narrator issue lol
