Was it Romantic Times or some other reviewer that compared this book to the likes of Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooters series, or Cindy Gerard? I don't remember. BUT I can tell you (since I have read all of their books) that that is a LIE! This book was not even remotely CLOSE!! No edginess. No depth.Both characters are mostly likeable. heroine is an "animal hugger" who will do anything to rescue animals enduring abuse.Liked her, except when she was being a door mat. Hero, ex-SEAL who is trying to assimilate into civvy life.Sounds awesome, right? NOTReally I hate to pan this book but it was juvenile at times, funny at others, but the two never met.Story did not flow. Halfway through the book I'm thinking where is the suspense in the Romantic Suspense. we already KNOW who the stalker is. Then there is the fact that although I am NOT a prude, and love an erotic novel occasionally this one was raunchy without being sexy.When accusing the hero of putting words in her mouth he responds "I'd like to put more than words in your mouth".Sexy? Yeah, not so much for me. Too UNSUBTLE.I gave up on this book and on this author.
