review 1: This book was too far-fetched, too uneven, and poorly written. The premise isn't set up with enough detail. SEALS on an undercover mission, that just happen to be a major rock star with all this fame-yet they can still do their jobs under the radar, the Mission is Rachel-yet they don't really know what is going on or how it is happening.The time line doesn't work at all. Some parts seem to take place within a matter or days, yet the big architectural project has so much progress. The relationship between the main characters happens out of nowhere. This deep love isn't feasible. There are several editing errors. One that irritated me was Rachel's eye color- apparently it changes. The flow is not consistent. Grammatically it wasn't bad, it just needed a content editor to iro... moren out details, add details when needed, and to make the overall story make sense.
review 2: I hate giving this such a rotten score, because I know intimately how hard it is to write a book to begin with, much less keep a series going. As of book 1, the series is dead to me.Navy SEALs posing as a rock band to seek out terrorists. Far fetched, but I could roll with it for the sake of the fantasy.Women, who we later find out have to be between 32 and 34, flash a guard to get back stage at a rock concert. One of them is the classic nose to the grindstone worker bee and so far from party girl it's not believable she'd do such a thing.Dedicated brain girl is an architect who manages to design plans seemingly over night, gets permits and approvals and has the house framed mid way through the first week. Wow. I can see why she'd be in demand. Sure, the guy has money, but no amount of money can build a high end home that fast. Where it completely fell apart for me was the first love scene. She'd been shot in the leg and had surgery for "considerable muscle damage." Spent one night in the hospital, then walks into her house, up the stairs, into her bedroom, and tells the hero to do her. What??? There is not enough pain killer in the world to make it possible so soon after injury. If she did take enough to feel no pain, she'd be zonked out.Sadly, the self talk going on in the hero's head doesn't make it better. The story has potential. The BFFs get the best lines and create the most heat. Maybe their story is better written. I hope so. My recommendation to the author: Hire a good editor, work out the continuity issues, get the timing sequence in order and try again. less
