Review: Decent Action Romance
Rating: 4 out of 5

The story was nicely paced and interesting. The characters were well developed. The mystery aspect of the book was well written, but the romance was simplistic and lacking. The morality of the main characters was refreshing, but their supposed faith was almost non-existent. Only one main character was ever seen attending church and he was so distracted that he got nothing out of it. The following Sunday morning he was playing racquetball against the Christian college president. The "Christian" college was filled with sexual affairs, aggressive power plays and hypocrisy. A woman supposedly strong in the faith bemoans the fact that her church hadn't instructed her about "safe sex"--so her violation of her relationship with God by sexual promiscuity wasn't the problem, the real problem was that it resulted in an unwanted pregnancy. I really don't think the author knows anything more than a moralistic caracature about the Christian faith.
