Review: Read with Brownies!
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 04 8, 2014
Warning: This book is bad for your cuticles and REM cycle. Just had to put that out there because this suspenseful (yet witty) romance has nonstop action from page 1 until the end—and that’s no joke. Have you ever watched the series 24 with Jack Bauer? This is kind of like that. The action never stops and the odds keep stacking against our heroes until you don’t think they’ll ever get out of it; but then you know somehow they will…but you wonder how…which makes you crave brownies. Seriously! A pan of brownies would have been nice while reading this; maybe then I wouldn’t have bitten off all my nails (and don’t tell me I already had bitten them off, because I know you’re right…but I still tried to bite whatever was left hanging on for dear life of my cuticles and the result isn’t pretty).I’m still glad I read this book though—ugly remaining cuticles and all.  I did miss out on a night of REM sleep, so if I cut you off on the freeway today, I’m sorry about that…but I blame it all on this intense book. You see, I was so worried about the crazy characters I had just barely met, but kind of fallen for, that I stayed awake all night trying to figure out how Rachel and Dawson would get away from the terrorists (I mean, Rachel is only a small town girl from Montana. How is she going to survive New York City, let alone some insane terrorists who are chasing her down to get their bomb back they planted in her suitcase?).  Anyway, lesson learned. Next time, I will just stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning and finish the dang book instead of lying in bed trying to determine the ending myself and lose a night’s worth of precious sleep.If you still want to read this book (which I strongly encourage), do yourself a favor and make a pan of chocolate chip brownies or something else of a decadent nature before you  start reading; this will lower the chances of you eliminating your nails, cuticles and REM sleep.
