In recent months I've read some excellent romantic suspense novels by independent authors, and I now count Betrayals among those novels.  I literally could not put this book down, and spent an entire Saturday reading this book.  My heart raced at times from the mystery and suspense, and ached for the love between Staci and Jordan.  There is a lot going on in this story, but the author manages everything well.  There are several government organizations involved, and I think that just adds to the mystery of everything.I normally dislike reading in the first person perspective.  However, I had been so intrigued by the product description that I wanted to give the first few chapters a chance.  In chapter four the book switched to third person perspective, and we were able to see things more from Jordan's perspective.  The rest of the novel alternated perspectives, Staci's perspective always being in first person perspective, and Jordan's always in third person.  I really enjoyed that the changes in tense related to the changes in perspective.  In the end, I think it made for a richer reading experience.This was the first book I read by Lisa Hughey, though this is the second book in her Black Cipher Files series.  As a reader, I felt like it was ok to read book two as a stand alone.  I look forward to reading book oneBlowback (The Black Cipher Files)and any future books in the series, and learning more about the secrets that tie these agents together.
