Review: I wanted to smack the heroine!
Rating: 2 out of 5

Unfortunately, this book was a little disappointing. So, as a result, this review could get a little ranty.There were a few times throughout the book that I just wanted to jump in to the pages and whack the heroine, Becca, fair across the back of the head and scream at her “suck it up, Princess”. Reid, the hero, describes her as “sophisticated and independent” – to me, she just came across as needy and requiring constant supervision.If you get involved with someone who is in a high-risk, high-danger military job, such as that of a Navy SEAL, you know in advance that you may not hear from them for long periods of time. They can’t just stop in the middle of a raid to call and let you know what they had for breakfast. Becca seems to view Reid’s not contacting her as some severe betrayal. Come on, love, he’s in freaking Afghanistan, not sunning himself in Cancun.Now, it is a sad state of affairs when I find myself skimming through the sex scenes in an erotic romance. Don’t get me wrong, the sex scenes are pretty hot, but they drag on for ages. The first one went for nearly 40 pages. That’s a little too long.I’m sure there are readers out there who loved this book, and I can see why they might. However, I struggled to finish this book. The writing wasn’t bad, I just didn’t really enjoy it.My rating: 2 out of 5Release Date: 14 January 2013Note: I was provided with an advanced reader copy of this book by Carina Press via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
