4 STARS

I found this story to have a pretty good plot with good main characters and also some secondary people as well.  However although I liked it..I just didn't feel that connection with Danielle and Shawn like I would have liked.  So I liked it but... 

I guess I would say that their being on the run was more interesting than the actual romance.  It just felt stronger in that area. Part of the mystery was how were the baddies so easily finding them every time. I had some idea of the how but I was pleased to see that I was wrong. The key that they needed to find to use the data on the computer drive was also quite the surprise too.  It was quite ingenious.

Danielle ended up being more helpful even though she was a civilian and unused to ops.  

The baby caused some unexpected problems to their being on the run.  

I was happy with how everything ended, so there is also that. 

 

I received an ARC through Netgalley and am voluntarily providing an honest review.
