We are going to have a few more Manviews in the next few weeks as Steve and I are going on a trip to the UK and meeting some of our favorite authors there. He's reading a bunch of books in preparation of catching up with them. This is the first one.

What was your overall opinion of the book?
I really enjoyed it. I
loved how the story developed and while the hero and heroine had some
challenges, they quickly got over them without too much drama. I also
loved the story revolving around Fortis, a security company and the
people they employed.
Was there anything you particularly liked about the book?
Yes, quite a few things. I
loved how Lauren and her half-brother found each other in adulthood and
really developed a bond for each other, one that ended up saving both
their lives at various points in the book. I also loved the
introduction of each character and their roles and am now prepared and
excited I am to read the rest of the books in the series. The Epilogue
was the longest one I have ever read, but it did a great job of setting
up what I know will be several awesome sequels!
Was there anything you did not like about the book?
There was very little I
did not like about the book. I felt (and understand it is the author’s
debut novel) that at the beginning the pace was a bit fast and felt
another few sentences here and there to explain things to further
develop the scene or character would have been beneficial. But as far
as the story goes and the characters go, I really liked pretty much
everything!
What did you think of the paranormal element in the story?
I was quite comfortable
with it and liked how it helps develop some interesting subplots and
strengthened the overall storyline. In fact, it was quite necessary
for the main plot to develop and resolve. I usually hate anything
resembling sci-fi, paranormal, witchcraft, or any of that non-real
stuff, but the ability of some people to envision the future and others
such as Lauren to progress physical healing of wounds and injuries was
really quite believable and nicely interwoven with the rest of the
story.
What did you think of Dane and Lauren?
I liked both of them a
lot. Dane irritated me a few times trying to be over-protective to the
point of being stupid about it. Almost too much pride, too much a need
to be responsible and taking it on himself. I really liked that Lauren
was willing to take risks and how comfortable she became with Dane. And
I always enjoy a heroine who gives herself with confidence in a wanton,
sexual frenzy to the right guy and yes, my Lauren was that type of
woman!
Any other thoughts on the book?
It was just a lovely and
enjoyable read. I liked the business element and character interplay
and look forward to finding out more about the secondary characters
when they become main characters in the future books in the series.
