Customer Reviews

Fun read - recommended

A fun read. I have to say I started out pretty unhappy with how the heroine was being treated but I liked how the story finally progressed. The hero actually came across pretty realistically considering his background and how he was raised (absolute power, etc. etc.), his time in the United States, his ultimately awakening to what he was doing, so no issue there. I liked how the heroine stood up for herself throughout the book very much - that was nicely done. I have to say though I was a bit surprised she didn't head straight for her embassy in the middle part of the story (no matter how cute the hero was), but I guess she was too... enamored? brainwashed? frightened? However, if you leave your brain at the door concerning that part, the story still was a very fun read and ended well. Recommended...
