review 1: Blah. This is supposed to be a spy husband and wife story?For about half of this book they aren't even together yet, just giving back stories on their so-called spy careers. The stories they tell end up being a lot of stalking but not finding out anything and makes the CIA look completely incompetent. I don't know if they did this on purpose for the sake of this book or if this guy was particularly that incompetent. Then the last few chapters are about trying to settle down into married life as retires and then adopting a little girl without using an adoption agency. Don't waste your time.
review 2: Got the bug to read spy stories from reading about Submarines spying so now this is more of the same. Interesting so far. Learning a good deal about spycraft. T... moreheir romance seems kind of dead in the water. Well, real people do not want to write about the deeply personal actions. Hence, romance in this narrative is missing or brief. It does end well. Rela Khyber comes to be part of their family. less
