Summary
This book is filled with action including hostages, bombings, gunfire and fights. It is also a great romance and suspense novel. The lead female character is strong and very likable. I had a hard time putting the book down. The language is clean and the sexual content is very mild. However, there is a lot of violence in the book. The author does spare us the gory details thankfully.
Violence This story contains bombs, shooting, and physical violence.
Language
Sexual Romance is sweet with predominately kissing and not a lot of that.
Drug & Alcohol One of the characters deals in heroin and another is an addict.
