Review: No "WOW" factor
Rating: 2 out of 5

This premise of this book was so promising, but the result was disappointing. It was a decent read, but nothing "wow" about it. The character development was shallow to say the least. A reader was not given much background on the hero or heroine, so there was no way for the reader to form an attatchment to the characters.Also, why do interracial writers want to ignore race in the story? It was barely mentioned in this book, and I might as well have been reading any other mainstream novel.That's what happened here, and an opportunity to add spice because of the ommission was missed.There was no great love story going on, the heroine was detached and uncaring and the hero was just there. The author tried her best, but probably should have done a lot more research or received some assistance on writing about the DEA and the ATF. Every scene involving the two agencies was totally unbelievable.To the author's credit, the editing was better than some I've seen in IR romances, but could have used a little work.The bottom line is, there was no passion in this book and the love scenes were lackluster at best.
