This definitely sounds like a fun, light-hearted read. I'm definitely a fan of action and I like how the situations portrayed are realistic such as the First Lady being picked apart for her appearance. Great and thorough review!

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I agree that the quick pace does draw the reader in. I immediately liked Kelly and feared for her safety while she was alone. I am definitely adding this book to my reading list.

I like that the action starts right away, and that there are several characters to follow so that the reader gets to see what's going on through their eyes. The idea of having two characters try to stop something terrible from happening while on a honeymoon sounds interesting. Wonderful review.

I love the fact that the plot is fast-paced, but furnished with some humor to lighten the story. This is a book to read for me. Nice review.

Thanks for the review, this does sound like the perfect book to get lost in. I like that it is not too heavy and that it is suitable for younger readers. I am always looking for books to pass along to my teenage boys.

I read Mercer's book, and I was caught in the action from the first page to the last. The book gave me an experience full of suspense with humorous pauses, as much as I needed to draw my breath. Thank you for your wonderful review!

I thought this book was more of romance but reading your review, I guess it's action, which I like.

I usually prefer reading more suspenseful thrillers, but from time to time I also like to relax with a quick, light-hearted story. This book seems like a fast-paced action novel with good humor and realistic scenes. The shifting perspectives are a plus too. Thanks for your review!

I have read this book: the whole series actually. I didn't hate it but I thought it could use some work. This is, especially in line with the quality and the literary prowess displayed in the former books in the series.

Post by Naina1547 »

I love light-hearted action stories. They seem to be more realistic than hard-core action thrillers. And your review is so simple and to the point without revealing any spoilers. It made me want to read the book even more than before. You seemed to have enjoyed it a lot for you gave 4 out of 4 stars even though you found it fast-paced towards the end. Thank you for your review!
