Now I thought this was another romantic comedy focused on the unwanted crackle between the main characters. Nope, Kress does an amazing job of developing not only a romantic thread but also a riveting suspense filled tapestry of stories around an estranged couple.As usual in Kress fashion the supporting characters also get their chance at love and they are just as interesting in this tale. Reading through different POVS was also wonderful insight into each of the characters. Some writers have a difficult time transitioning and creating distinct voices but not Kress, each person was distinct and as I reader I was never confused. There was never a time I didn't know who's eyes I was 'looking' through or 'hearing' and I enjoyed every minute of it.The main characters Gideon and Olivia have been surviving their marriage separately for some time now. But after a virus is stolen from a classified government development lab, Gideon must return to his wife because she is caught up in this web of intrigue by association. I did not expect this story to be as good as it was. The suspense is constant however slowly more is revealed creating a web of uncertainty including the fate of our main characters.With fierce dog chases, kidnappings, private island vacations and a psychopath on the lose with a virus and the antidote unknown, Kress takes us on a non-stop jam packed journey with the ladies of Green Ivy Lane.  With just enough passion the romance and sensual play the quota is filled in this suspenseful contemporary and of course funny novel.Take a chance it's only .99$ and worth every penny.
