![]() ![]() It's a very simple romance, not complicated or original. It was ok for the type of book that it is. I don't have a lot to say about this book. It entertained me, and kept me turning the pages. The hero was wonderful, the heroine brave, the plot was original, there was plenty of action, and there was a little surprise at the end. So a little bit more detail about their early years would have worked for me.Īll in all, not a bad read, especially if you like your romantic suspense heavier on the suspense. I just didn't get the sense that they were 'in love' before they reconnected-I assumed that Jules loved Manny as a sibling or friend. Supposedly they were close enough that Manny wanted to marry Jules, which came as a shock to Jules (and to me) when Manny told her about it when they reunited. They adopted her and raised her, and despite the eight year age difference, Jules and Manny were very close. old Jules abandoned on the streets, and brought her to a neighbor family who he was very close to. ![]() For me, I could have used a little more romance and background into Jules and Manny's relationship when they were growing up together as neighbors. There's some nice little surprising plot twists and turns in this one, which suspense fans will love. Can that possibly be true? Or is it too late to have a future? And what about Manny? Could he possibly still love her after he knows the full extent of what she's done? Jules is told if she pulls off one more job for her organization, she can leave and have the life she's always wanted.

Manny works for the CIA, and thinks he can help Jules out of the predicament she's in. Till one day her childhood friend Manny came back into her life, and vowed that he would never let her go again. She had no one to turn to for help, and ended up forced to do things she abhored, and hated herself for it. Three years ago she was recruited at a young age by a terrorist organization, blackmailed into joining, and brutalized by one of it's leaders. I figured he must have loved her very much because she was a suspected terrorist, and yet he still wanted to protect her and help her. The hero, Manny, was very loving, forgiving, and protective of Jules, the heroine. A little explicit but not erotic, and definitely nothing kinky. And while the few romantic scenes were tender yet hot, I wouldn't label them 'erotic'. In fact, things didn't start cooking romantically until about 2/3 of the way into the book. This book was very heavy on the suspense though, and not so much on the romance. Not a bad little romantic suspense by the author Sharon Long, who many may recognize by her pen name of Maya Banks.
