Review: Good mix of romance, mystery, and humor

I found Stolen Secrets an interesting story with a modern setting.  It was a little like a stock Harlequin romance, but I liked the plot line which dealt with computer hacking.  Not what I thought would make a good romance novel, but it worked.  I didn't get put off by what one reviewer called political comments.  I thought the explanation of how and why computer hackers worked was believable, and no explanations were "jammed" down my throat.  I also found it interesting that malicious computer hackers are called crackers.  I know there are many companies whose business it is to stop the crackers before they cripple a company, and this was the hero Ryan's job.  The heroine Angie was feisty, warm, and caring.  I wanted them to fall in love and live happily ever after.  Of course, first they had to solve the mystery of the cracker of an oil company in Alaska.  I enjoyed the scenes set in Seattle and Anchorage as the mystery and romance unfold.  And a cute little pound puppy kind of stole the show!  I recommend this book for a quick, satisfying read.
