rameau's ramblings

This review can also be found on Portable pieces of thought-blog.I liked this book. It wasn’t anything special but I liked it. So why the fourth star? Wilkins? Sadly no.This is about Cade Morgan who was introduced in the Twitter Terrorist book and Brooke Parker who is just as wrapped in her career as he is. They meet because of a case he’s prosecuting and they meet again because of a return favour she asks. And they kiss. And they date. They have sex and they have internal meltdowns about things getting too serious when they’re not ready to admit that’s exactly what they want. He has family trouble and she has career plans. Life is complicated. It’s boring. And it’s all so deliciously normal. These characters are adults. They’re capable at the jobs, they have friends they talk to, and they worry about spending or not spending the rest of their lives alone. There are miscommunications but those don’t last and they’re not manufactured. They’re just little complications of life. After reading too many paranormals with insta-mates it’s a wonderful relief to read about an ordinary romance between two people who suck at relationships but manage to find and fall in love with someone who just fits in their lives. I expect that the next romance in the series will swing back to the FBI side—no, sadly I don’t expect it to be about Wilkins—and that I’ll have to suspend my disbelief a bit more due to hazard pay. I’ll enjoy reading it nonetheless.
