This is the second book I've read by this author. I loved it! Here's why:1. The characters. They sparkle with life and vitality. You could meet people like these anywhere. They felt comfortable, natural and real. Their actions made perfect sense in the context of their personalities. I especially liked the hero, Finn. I could feel his pain and internal conflict. It twisted me up inside.2. The pacing. I can't abide books that belabor the extraneous details page after page, slowing the pace to a crawl. That doesn't happen here. Without skimping on description, the story proceeds at breakneck speed that has the reader feverishly turning pages to see what happens next.3. The plot. Great. Just great. But I don't want to give spoilers. But trust me, it's a wonderful story.If I had to pick one thing to complain about, it would be this. At the very end, when Finn experienced his rapid about face, it seems to happen a bit abruptly. As a girl, I would have liked to experience the mental and emotional machinations by which he decided his whole world view needed altering. It wasn't there.But that's a very small pick, not even worth a star, so I say, unabashedly, that this is a great, fun, fast-paced book that romance thriller lovers should adore. I did.Well done, Mr. Asher.
