Review: Wanted to give it a chance
Rating: 2 out of 5

I started to give the book 3 stars but realized, after some thought, that I really didn't care for the book very much.  I won't rehash the plot line, as seveal other reviewers have already discussed it, but the characters were not all that realistic.  I could believe that the heroine changed her way of looking at life, and what she wanted in a man, after Jake crushed her by leaving her at the alter; however, I don't believe that she would have done a complete turnabout after his return.  Sure the author did a couple of angry, "I cannot believe you did that to me", scenes but the bottom line is that Jenny was back in his arms within days of his return.***Spoiler alert** The ending was very unrealistic--how could men in a tight-security compound miss the fact that a helicopter was flying in?  It is not as a helicopter is a quiet mode of travel but apparently every other guard in the compound was looking elsewhere until too late. A quick run, a few bullets,jump in the helo and danger is over.  Really?  What about the drug cartel that was out to get Jake?  What about the obsessed Rosa, did she decide to forget about Jake all of a sudden? Just couldn't buy the quick and easy ending, and that, for me, ruined the book.  The best I can say about the book is that I didn't hate it.
