This is a very suspenseful book, which I enjoyed. I think the heavy dose of romance infused into the story detracts from an otherwise solid "good read." It's definitely worth reading if you like suspense & don't mind a lust/love-driven storyline.
This was a freebie on my Kindle, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I loved it! My husband downloaded it to his Kindle on PC and he loved it too! It had politics, game play (alot), heavy emotions, romance (alittle) and the mystery of WHO DID IT and WHY! Plenty of fire action!
This was a great read! Lots of action and suspense. I really enjoyed it because it was fast paced, couldn't wait to see what would happen next. I was lucky enough to pick this one up when it was free. I will probably be buying some of the series from Misty Evans.
NEVER READ ANY OF THIS AUTHORS BOOKS BEFORE BUT I WILL LOOK FOR HER BOOKS NOW. I REALLY GOT INTO THE LIFE JULIA WAS LEADING . A VERY SUSPENSFUL STORY COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN MISSED A NIGHTS SLEEP TO FINISH IT. WAS A LITTLE LONG BUT NEVER SLOWED UP KEPT MY BLOOD FLOWING WANTING TO KNOW THE ENDING. THE CHARACTERS WERE INTRIGING. JUST ENOUGH HUMOR AND , LOTS OF SUSPENSE. JUST TO MUCH ROMACE WHEN JULIA AMD CONANS FRIEND NEEDED THEM I KEPT WANTING TO YELL "STOP YOUR FRIEND AND PARTNER NEEDS HELP" REALLY THIS IS A VERY GOOD READ.
Let me preface this review by saying I am not a picky reader. I read just about anything and don't have complaints. There are only a couple books I have ever read I would rate below 3 stars. It also isn't because it is somewhat of a romance novel. I have read many of the Laurel K Hamilton books which are high in romance and not particularly high in quality.
I tried this book when it was a free kindle download based on the high ratings it had received. In all honesty, I expect some of those ratings were not unbiased and were used to promote the book. While I finished the book, it was one of the least satisfying reads I have had in a long time. The book was readable, but it had 3 major flaws.
1) Characters don't seem quite real. I understand what the author intended to do with each character, but they came across more as outlines of characters rather than fully flushed out and developed characters. The times when she tried to provide background to help flesh them out came across as "I am providing background to flesh them out" rather than feeling natural.
2) The main character just isn't that likable. We are told time and again how desirable she is and how she has multiple men competing for her attention. Unfortunately, the book doesn't support this. She isn't that charming and while the thoughts she has try to support her being likable, the actions she takes mostly come across as her being selfish and self absorbed.
3) The action just doesn't seem quite realistic. Like the rest of the book, something is just off. I wish I could pinpoint it as the book is close to being good, but at the end of the day it just doesn't quite cut it and I couldn't achieve "suspension of disbelief."
While I really wanted to like this book and it showed some promise, at the end of the day it just didn't quite succeed. While I usually prefer series, I don't expect to pick up the next one in this series.
I enjoyed reading it, a bit naive, forced the drama some and childish at times. IN general I enjoyed it, a few surpises but not many. I do recomend it because it keeps you hooked and wanting more.
I can't believe this book has any multiple star reviews. The plot is lame, the writing immature. I usually finish books I've started, just because I've paid for them--not this book which is a gigantic waste of time. Everything about this book is contrived and unbelievable. Evans must have a lot of relatives to write reviews.
Excellent. I would like to see Misty contiue a series with these two characters (Conrad Flynn and Julia Torrison). I appreciate the way Misty tells a story. This will not be the last book I read by her. David from Tennessee
This is one of the best books I've ever read. As a lover of the J.D. Robb "In Death" series, I didn't think I would find another author who would come close to keeping me as interested and fascinated. I read this on my Kindle and couldn't stop reading. I wanted more.....I loved the characters........I love the writing of Misty Evans. I also downloaded #2 and #3....and to my satisfaction I got more....her characters continued on and she introduced 2 new characters in book #2. I'm eagerly awaiting the next book.
The author doesn't do terribly with the plot. It is predictable and frequently evoked the feeling that I was watching an episode of some generic spy TV show. And that's ok. BUT... the dialogue is nauseating. It appeared unnatural, contrived. I found myself saying, "What? Come on."
If you want a quick, easy read that is mildly entertaining (and the Kindle edition is still being offered free of charge,) go for it.
