| We
all know the recipe for a romantic thriller - take one spunky
but helpless woman in distress, stir in a handsome and competent
but reluctant hero, then mix in lots of enthusiastic, but
less competent bad guys. Sex and mayhem ensues. Exit Strategy
certainly has the requisite handsome, competent and reluctant
hero in Mason Hunt, assassin. His job is to take out terrorists
and other bad guys before they kill. He never questions his
orders, until the ticket comes up for Sabrina Hightower. Mason's
best friend insists that Sabrina is an innocent, and Mason
(of course) is wildly attracted to her. Sabrina isn't quite
the "spunky but helpless" sort. She's got spunk
to spare, but she can also shoot with TV-magic-level accuracy
and she's not afraid to defend herself. But, of course, she
has no defense against her wildly growing attraction to Mason
as they go on the run and try to figure out why Sabrina was
ever a target. Sexy times ensue (plenty of them, so be aware
this romance is a bit racy). I found the plot interesting
and the quick changes of venue and peril held my interest
throughout. There were some moments that stretched credulity
a little far for me, personally, but this is the sort of book
you read for fun, not analysis. Oh, and whoever chose the
cover models should be smacked. Honestly, people, how hard
is it to give the designer some clips of description from
the book to go by? So, overall - a fun book, especially if
you're a fan of romantic suspense. And don't judge the book
by its cover. |
