Are you ever in the mood for a light, fun romance but you want suspense and action too? As readers we know we really can have it all! This romantic suspense caught my interest from the beginning and kept it during the whole book! I love the intro- although I would have to say I would have added more about how strong Hannah is, she certainly is no weak wallflower. Bravo to Louise Rose-Innes for her book Personal Assistance (Entangled Ignite)! I enjoyed meeting Hannah- a strong, independent woman working in another country to make her goals happen. Oh, she also happens to be secretary / administrative assistant for a Prince Hakeen in Syman. What she thought of as her dream job come true, turned out to be a scary nightmare and she winds up on the run from her boss!

The culture and terrain in the setting were unfamiliar to me (part of the attraction I think), yet I felt like the author was there while writing the story. Plenty of details and action too! Hannah finds an important document and uncovers horrible facts about the man she works for. Leaving the building, she rushes off the the embassy thinking to get help as she is a British citizen. Instead everyone has left..except one lone soldier, Tom. The building tension of getting Hannah out of the country and her military secrets kept me reading and the chemistry between Hannah and her soldier, Tom also kept my attention. I like the fact that Hannah and Tom both have baggage from their respective pasts, it makes them easier to relate to. (Don't we all have some baggage we hope no one writes about?)

A lighter suspense read, great to unwind and disappear into the story for awhile. I definitely enjoyed the book.

Thank you to NetGalley, Louise Rose- Innes, and Entangled Publishing for the opportunity to read and review Personal Assistance, part of the Entangle Ignite series. As always, my opinions are my own!!

I have to say I love Romantic Suspense but I did find this book a bit...wanting if I'm honest.

Hannah has landed what she thinks is her perfect job. As the personal assistant of Prince Hakeem of Syman, she will get the experience and garner some contacts for when she opens her own PR firm. But when she accidentally glimpses from private correspondence detailing the unrest in Syman, she knows it is time to flee. She manages to escape from the compound but when she arrives at the British Embassy, there is a lone soldier on duty!

Tom has survivor guilt and possibly a touch of PTSD, after being the sole survivor from his SAS team. He manages to get Hannah inside the Embassy but before the Prince's forces attack, he has to get them to safety, pronto.

I did feel that the characters and the storyline were a wee bit flat. Hannah does question Tom quite a lot. He IS the SAS soldier, I think he knows what to do! Tom, however, was also a it flat. I also question why he was the only soldier left on duty. I know it fits with the story and artistic licence and all that but just could not get that to settle in my mind.

The Instalove does kind of grate. I know people come together in times of stress and adrenaline fuelled escapes but there really should be more concern on when/where this happens.

Great setting of the story within the Arab Spring and the climbing tensions in the surrounding areas. A solid, middle of the road read but nothing exceptional I'm afraid.
