Three years earlier, Sergeant Dawna Atkinson was caught fraternizing with her instructor Tay Hastings. The brunt of the blame was heaped on the heroine who has spent the last three years working through a list of security assignments which were designed to make her leave the service.Now she is assigned to manage the security for the Canadian Embassy in Bolivia. When a bomb blast takes place, Tay Hasting is sent to investigate and assist. Despite her continued attraction to Tay, Dawna is suspicious that he's been sent to drive out of service. Tay has multiple issues to deal with and unfortunately one of them is to see that Dawna returns to Canada in disgrace. In addition, he is working on an undercover assignment which prohibits him from disclosing all his activities to her. This layer of "cat and mouse" between the couple is interesting to watch unfold.As circumstances escalate the couple is forced in each other's company more and must deal with the escalating threats, a murder, and attempted murders.Kudos to the author for her research and homework. It provided rich detail on the locale and culture of Bolivia. The only complaint that I have is that the romantic part of this story was extremely slow to develop and leaned heavily on the suspense and mystery aspects to move the story along for the first half of the book. However, their relationship begins bloom and the emotional standoff between them gets resolved. By the end of the book it was a satisfying read.I will disclose this story is a sweet romance. If you like your romantic suspense on the "hot side" you will be disappointed. For me, I like a good story and this one provides many twists and turns. Definitely a book I'd recommend.
