This is my first ever review on Amazon. I read a couple of books every week. I thought this book was superb so hence this maiden voyage into reviewing.The Heart has Reasons cleverly dovetails numerous genres, e.g action, thriller,humour, suspense, mystery, inspirational and literary fiction- bringing the best of all these genres together. There is some eroticism and violence but it is intinsic to plot and character revelation.I freqently skim through pages in book but I read all of this book.Every page was interesting I read it slowly trying to make it last as long as possible. I often feel that I have read a book before as it may be similar in plot or style to something else I perused- but not this book.The characters personalities are revealed through their actions, conversations  and the observations of each other.The heroine is portrayed as more intelligent and resourceful than the hero - which is extremely rare. Also for much of the book he displays typical male behaviour of not listening to what she is telling him. The main charaters were likeable and had everyday problems, e.g. phobias. morgage, job as well as the exceptional circumstances that make the plot of the book . As in all novels you need to suspend belief. However this one uses current events( e,g Afghanistan, airport security, celbrity culture) as a background, so the plot is realistic.The authors use of language is exceptional and she does not resort to the cliches found in many novels. I did not spot any inconsistencies in the plot or chacacter behaviour.There is scope for  sequels so I hope at least one will be written.
