Helpful Score: 1
I'd like to preface this by mentioning that I am an Ann Christopher loyal reader, but I have to be honest in giving my reviews.
**THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS**
First I have to start off by saying that I absolutely loved Deadly Pursuit That book really had the Romance and Suspense on point, so I was thoroughly excited to read this book to see how Kareem and Kira turned out. Although the story was well written, it was entirely too predictable. While reading this book I knew what was going to happen before it happened, and it really made the story anti-climatic for me, and took me nearly a week to get through it which is really long for me.
You can read from the product description of this book and know that now somehow Kira is a free woman, so that was to be expected. But the whole dramatic way Kareem was "killed" was just blah, and of course he wasn't dead. Any person with half a brain could have figured that out. All of the "coincidences" that were happening to Kira, and later to Dexter were just too obvious, and of course it was Kareem. Throughout the book Kira keep going on and on about Kareem not being dead, and about her always having this eery feelings, and surprise big shocker, Kareem really wasn't dead. So the suspense portion of this book was non-existent.
Now onto the romance portion. Kira and Dexter played this game of not getting together for so long that it too started to get very old. When they finally came together in the last 50 pages of the book it was just an ok love scene. The book probably really could have done without it, and Kira's naïveté about Dexter's feelings for her was just so off since she was now her new found self with so much confidence and self assurance. She should have seen him coming a mile away.
I just think the book could have been way better if maybe Kareem made his reappearance years down the line when Kira would have least expected it. He came back just way too soon, and there was no suspense or surprise in the things he did before he actually showed his face. If this series continues with Kerry which I think it will since he miraculously survived death, then it really needs to go in a whole new direction
