3.0
This is the first book in what became to be known as the Hagan series (although Hagan is not present in this book). What I liked about the book. I kind of liked that the story began after Brian and Serena had been traveling for a while, but it did create a flaw in the tale. One of the reasons that I sometimes read romance novels is that I like the cast of supporting characters. Not a lot in this book, but I really liked Josh, and it was fun seeing the interplay between Serena and Josh. I thought that the story kind of held up and did not feel dated to me. Other than the phones and perhaps the description of her clothes (don't know about that), I could not tell that it did not take place in this century.
Problems with the book. I do not know if the format of a Loveswept Romance in which Hooper was limited to 180 pages led to the story feeling way underdeveloped. You did not really feel the tension of the threat. When something does happen, it is resolved way too easily and you did not feel any emotions from Serena. Also you kind of missed the point where the two main protagonists fall in love. That apparently happened before the story began.
