Summary: Anticlimactic!
Review: This book was, for lack of a more appropriate word, lame. It had a lot of potential, but the characters were given no depth. Just mentioning in passing that a character has emotional complexity doesn't make the reader buy it. Also, it just didn't make enough sense that neither Jenny or Kyle EVER stopped thinking about the relationship they had when they were 15 years old. Give me a break, they're both 30! We're expected to believe that memories and feelings from adolescence are just as fresh, vivid, and automatic to them now - 15 years hasn't changed anything?? Kyle's traveled all over doing anti-terrorist work, yet his teenage liaison with Jenny haunts him daily...but somehow he NEVER got in touch with her again?? Please! And that "you moved and i didn't know your forwarding address" bit is weak enough, but after we've read pages & pages about all of Kyle's high tech electronic equipment - like omnicient laptops and voice-programmed uzis - we're expected to believe he knew of no resources that would help him locate Jenny's telephone number?? The sex (which was pretty minimal) was lackluster, and I couldn't help feeling that the 'sad secret' Jenny had kept hidden was just a manipulative plot device designed to provide the "tug-on-your-heart-strings" portion of the love story. And their ultimate resolution was anticlimactic.

Review: What a great story. I love the way Meryle tied characters from past books in with this. Amy and Mat from Halfmoon Bay, Logan and Kelly from Tempting Fate. It makes it all the more believable and keeps you in touch with those you feel you know from other books. I am a Nora Roberts fan but watch out Nora Meryle Sawyer is great. I can't wait for a new release. Kyle and Jen are great. Meryle you must have done a great deal of research into the goverment and their operations. It was very thought provoking.
