The book was a preset good quick read. I like the characters and the suspense of the story. I would recommend to my friends for a quick read.

This was a perfectly nice read and passed a couple of hours but I did not get excited by it.

The hero, Derek, (sorry but whilst I am sure there are lots of nice Dereks in the world, it is not a name I would think of as ‘heroic’ in any way, shape or form), and the heroine Alice come together because Alice has discovered an inexplicable error in her customers accounts. Derek’s firm (incredibly successful and wealthy) provides help to small entrepreneurs. Turns out that the software is designed by Russians and is intended to rob users. The. villains are one dimensional and pretty boring. Derek’s partners look they might be interesting so perhaps there’s going to be more books?

Derek and Alice are attracted to each other, succumb very quickly, have lots of hot sex in between acting as private investigators who ultimately get caught and nearly murdered by the baddies.

This should have been an exciting, fast developing story, but it just plodded along. Sorry but I didn’t find it exciting at all. Derek and Alice were a nice couple and they got their happy ever after. Fabulous!

The best thing was the author’s homage to Georgette Heyer - one of my very favourite authors of all time!

As I said, a perfectly pleasant read but somehow it just misses the mark.
