REVIEW:
This story is a tightly woven romantic suspense and arguably Laura Griffin's best in her Tracer's series. The suspense is taut and the actions scenes rival any written for Jason Bourne. If I have any critique, it is that the romance part takes more time to develop. After being 43% into the story, there is still no action between the characters. However, when the interaction between Kelsey and Gage does start, it sizzles. The chemistry between the two character is steamy. I love second time around stories. It helps alleviate the "huh?" of a insta-love and the issues facing the two are deeper than "does he/she like me or not?"
IN A NUTSHELL:
If you are a Laura Griffin fan, you will love this book. If you haven't read Laura Griffin before, what are you waiting for? Scorched is a great place to start.
