I hesitated between three and four points for this book. On the one hand, the main characters, Pixie and Chauncey, are likeable, the action is non-stop, and the dialogue flows smoothly. It was easy to get right into the action and on the whole an enjoyable reading experience.If I finally went with the lower assessment, these were the reasons:The villain was an overly stereotypical Arab terrorist. This plot element is not only cliché, when it omits any informed reference to the political motives, but here the presentation also seemed a bit over the top - all the forces of US and UK law enforcement, on their own turf, cannot be credibly outnumbered by one terrorist and his minions. Plus, referring to the villains as "evildoers" reminded me of the former President Bush's simplistic black-and-white worldview.There was almost an excess of chases, shoot-outs, abductions, and murders for such a short book. Astonishing that romance and true love could flourish amongst so much non-stop violence.The author consistently uses the English "Sir" with a last name, instead of the first name.And finally, some of the descriptions of the love scenes made me giggle.Altogether I would give the book a grade of 3.4 out of 5.Mary Moya (The Kindle Book Review)The Kindle Book Review received this book in exchange for an independent, fair and honest review.
