I also really enjoyed the book and rated it 4 out of 4 stars. I am not a reader of romance novels either, so I put more weight on it being a romance as well. Of course, the romance part was in no way the major genre. Thank you for your insight!AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑02 Dec 2019, 17:49Glad I could help! Well, it is safe to say that romance for the most part in this book is only implied, and it is a minor part of this book. I hope you enjoy it.Kaylee123 wrote: ↑02 Dec 2019, 13:57I'm glad you mentioned that you think romance is a misleading description. I'm not a huge fan of romance novels, so I wasn't sure I would read this book. But, knowing it's more action-packed, I think I'll check it out!AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑01 Dec 2019, 11:32 I would recommend this book but not to romance readers. I think that description is misleading. It is an action-packed book for sure. My favorite part is the ending and how everything was resolved. I also like how this book deals with interesting subjects like a solar flare. It is a thing I didn't know much about but after reading this book I was researching more. I always appreciate it when a book teaches me something that I didn't know before. On the other side, I would like if there were a stronger female character.
I definitely recommend this book as an audio. The narrator did an amazing job with it.

I like how you mentioned the cinematic element of the book. This could easily be a TV show or movie. I really liked how the chapters and chapter elements stated the scene in bold sub-headings. This made the book very fluid to read.Michelle_Cerone wrote: ↑04 Jan 2020, 23:54 What is your overall opinion of the book? What do you like most about it? What do you like least? Will you recommend the book to other people? Why or why not?
I was really surprised. I was not sure if I would like it but I genuinely did. It started off in the middle of the action and it kept moving really quickly. It didn't seem like science fiction at all and it was really well researched. It had such a cinematic that I'd feel comfortable recommending it to other people. Sometimes I had a hard time suspending my belief in terms of the access that non-CIA people were given but that part was all fun.

- Latest Review: E-M-P Honeymoon by Dorothy May Mercer
I think that the author included the part with Dr. Kinney because she knew some of the nuclear warfare elements might be a little confusing so she included the background of everything into the story.Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑01 Dec 2019, 08:21 While I am just getting started on it I have mixed feelings. I like how action-packed the scene with Kelly being followed is. The parts with Dr. Kinney explaining how e-m-p could be a reality, I found a little confusing, but I am hoping it will all come together.
I would recommend it to lovers of sci-fi.

I think in the beginning when Kelly is the one who discovers the potential terrorist operation that was a good start to her being a strong female lead but then the Author kind of let her character fall flat. :/AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑01 Dec 2019, 11:32 I would recommend this book but not to romance readers.

Thank you for the informative review. I do enjoy fast-paced stories and would like to read this book. I would also like to understand exactly how the honeymoon was disturbed and what sustained Tom and Kelly throughout the sudden change of events.B Creech wrote: ↑02 Dec 2019, 17:14 Overall I liked this book, but not as a romance novel! It was more of a fast-paced action story. I did not get a sense of connection between the honeymooners, Tom, and Kelly, so I can't help but wonder why the word honeymoon was in the title. What I liked most about the book was the ending, and I also enjoyed the budding relationship between Steve and
Sharon, although it couldn't be called romantic since they were busy trying to catch terrorists. I rated this book 4 out of 4 stars in my review.
