review 1: Having friends and relatives who've served in Iraq and Afghanistan, I found the military portions of this novel to be impressively accurate. However, I was NOT impressed with the romantic story line of the protagonist, Kristen. Yes, I would have reacted similarly to her fiance's deception. No, I would not have run so quickly back into the arms of a guy who had treated me like dirt so many years before, who gave up so easily on a wife with a terrible addiction, and who has such dissimilar political leanings to my own. If the author could have convinced me that Ryan never meant to hurt Kristen (so he SAYS), that he did everything he could have possibly done to help his addicted wife and their failing marriage (no evidence in the novel), and that he and Kristen (Kristy) could... more have worked out their political disagreements--SO not believable that such a "responsible" guy would leave the governor at such a critical time without SOME support, yet she could just walk away and have her boss take over (okay, I could see it for her part)--I might have had a better relationship with this novel.
review 2: Leaving her fiance at the altar, Kristen Shepard walks out of her own wedding in to the waiting arms of a long lost love, but before a romance can begin she is pulled into an international terrorist plot that involves her brother, Army surgeon Brandon Shepard who has been taken hostage by insurgents in Iraq. Can Kristen foil the terrorists, save her brother, and find that love she has always been looking for? A kind of prequel to Dangerous Connections. less
