Review: Romance with plenty of action
Rating: 5 out of 5

I can't say that I couldn't put this down, for there were a couple of places where I absolutely had to. I didn't want to read on because the tension was too much...for this romance has plenty of action (both in and out of the bedroom) and it was the clothed kind that had me on edge. Of course, that didn't last long - I picked it up again and kept right on reading...nailbiting suspense and all.Annie's brilliant - a brave young woman who will stop at nothing. Perhaps it was my early connection with such a well-written character that had me desperate to NOT see her get hurt any further as the story progressed.Now Michael...there's a conflicted character. I like how Farrelly presented his PTSD - without mentioning the modern term for it. Of course, that's only a tiny bit of the man - for a complex hero, he's another one I wanted to see happy and not hurt.Now, being a romance, I expected a happy ending of some sort, but Farrelly certainly kept me wondering as to where and how that would be possible - and who would survive to the end at all.Brilliant pacing throughout - my only complaint is that perhaps the story contained too much sex for me. Not that any of it was unnecessary or overkill, just a matter of my personal preference.A well-deserved five stars as I go to track down the rest of the series...
