Reviewer’s Thoughts
Loved this one! It had a lot of suspense–many unexpected twists and turns to keep me on my toes. I think March did a great job “”setting up”” each character. I felt like I got to know the characters without reading a laundry list of traits. It all flowed very naturally.
I was a bit intimidated that I wouldn’t be able to handle a plot about the inner-workings of Washington DC, Lobbyists, etc. I am usually more of light-hearted-romance kind of reader! However, I found that aspect of the story very intriguing. I know this is a work of fiction, but it was completely believable.
I definitely recommend this one. I think it has something for everybody. I look forward to more from Tracy March–especially along the same lines as this story!
