I like this one both less and more than the previous??? Who knows. It's a much more straightforward thriller, and I would honestly have liked MORE archaeology than merely the protagonist's profession. I also could have done with a lot less US Military nonsense. But I liked both main characters and appreciated that they had a relationship where, for the most part, they trusted each other. Less over focus on sex would have been preferable for me personally but this is a romance, so what can you do, right?

One of those books where I wish the author would rely on the plot to carry the book. It was a great suspenseful book. Explosions, betrayals, snipers, missing chemical weapons, and of course a forbidden romance brewing. There were two explicit sex scenes, which generally turns me off to a book. If you skip those few pages though this is a fantastic read!

This book is intense from start to finish and I loved it. Curt Dominick really stands out in this subgenre of romantic suspense. Rather than a military/law enforcement hero, he's a well-connected DA on a path to become AG. It's refreshing to have a prosecutor (sort of politician, since DAs are elected or politically appointed positions, and the AG is also a Cabinet position). He's intelligent, always considering every angle, asking the right questions, trying to think a few steps ahead. I'd love to see more MMCs like him.

While instalove isn't my usual cup of tea, I found it really worked in this book. Throw two attractive single people in high stakes life/death situations and they are bound to create an intense bond (if they don't hate each other).

I still definitely think her current series is better, but I probably will continue to read her backlist until I catch up.
