review 1: I saw this advertised on another site and went to Amazon to look at it and get more information. I generally like to read the first few reviews to get a feel for the book and see if it is something I might like but on this one I never got past the title of the first review that said the book had a good plot but too much sex and language for the reviewer. I bought the book!I admit that was a eye catcher but having completed the book I can only surmise that the reviewer has a very delicate constitution. There really is only one sex scene (and that is od the G rated version) in the entire book although sexual situations do crop up a few times and the language is tame by most standards.Having now read the book I can tell you that the book was an enjoyable read. The main hero o... moref the book is unique in that he's no Jack Reacher or any of the like. He is what would be classified as the reluctant hero who turns out to have the goods when the chips are down. His partner in the story manages to be interesting and the catalyst to the hero's unlikely performance when the rubber meets the road. It was good enough that I will buy the second book in the series and hopefully the characters will grow more into the roles that the plot line suggests and will compel me to read the rest of the series. At the end of the day what more can you ask for.
review 2: The author very kindly emailed me a Kindle version of this book in exchange for an honest review."I remind my captive of the need for obedience by stubbing out my cigarette on his forehead."I knew that from this first line, I was going to love this book. And I wasn't disappointed. Simon Jenner has created the perfect cold and calculated bad guy. Although some of the things he does made me flinch and pull a face (much to the amusement of the people in the room with me), I found myself intrigued by what he would do next. The book switches perspective between the bad guy and the hero, John Smith. Ah, John. Some of the things he came out with and some of his actions actually had me laughing out loud (cue more funny looks from the people in the room). So adorably clueless sometimes but I also very adept at thinking on his feet. I think I fell in love with John a little bit :)After the first couple of chapters which introduces you to the main players of the story, the pace really picks up. Every chapter is action packed and only increases in intensity as you work your way towards the finale.I was hooked the entire way through this book. If it wasn't for work, I would've finished this in one sitting. As soon as I finished the last page, I downloaded the sequel. I cannot wait to read more in the Ethan Justice series and would recommend this book to everyone. less
