I absolutely like this book. This is one of the few from the genre Romantic Thriller, and I was NOT disappointed! The beginning was not very credible, but you could actually be aware of the dangers they were in.The verbal sparring between Julie Jones and Sean MacKenzie, and their obvious sexual tension, provides light relief from the more serious aspects of the novel. Speaking of which, the originality of the cult storyline is really good! That was one of the most original plots I have encountered. THE CHARACTERS: Julie - is a badass heroine. PLus, she's a TV reporter, which is what I wanna do when I grow up. Sean - is sarcastic & annoying at the surface, but is actually very caring deep down. And the subsequent drama surrounding Julie after sixteen years, sets the novel apart from others of the same genre. All in all, this was an epic page turner.
