Cynthia and Dan: Cyber War by Dorothy May Mercer is a gripping fictional tale laced with suspense, romance, mystery, and criminality. The author tells the tales of Cynthia, Senator Mike McBride, Glenn, and other amazing individuals. Cynthia serves as Senator Mike McBride's chief investigator and bodyguard. She also works as a secretary, making sure that Senator Mike's political dealings are kept discreet and confidential. A suspicious-looking terrorist drone landed in front of the White House. Cynthia works with her brother Glenn and other computer experts to monitor and investigate this drone. As the story goes on, Cynthia develops feelings for a mysterious man named Sky while still dating Sergeant Dan. What effect will her new romance have on her relationship with Sergeant Dan? Obtain a copy to learn more.

Reading about how Cynthia, Glenn, and the other geeks team up to battle the terrorist organization had me completely engrossed. In the book, the author deftly combines tension, romance, mystery, and criminality. I'm proud of the squad for their unwavering efforts in battling the terrorist organization. The way Cynthia attempts to reconcile her thoughts with the two men in her life is another aspect of the book that keeps me turning the pages. Being exposed to such a lifestyle is exceedingly dangerous for a chief investigator. I relished the book from start to finish. Because of the book's high level of suspense, I find it difficult to put it down. The book provides me with a wealth of knowledge, particularly regarding the methods employed during the investigation. Anyone who reads this book will find it to be both interesting and educational.

The part of the scene where the author explains a helpful theory about birth control and contraception is my favorite. This knowledge appeals to me and is useful. The book gives me a deep insight into cyber war and I find it educative. Having said that, I will state that the author conducted an extensive study before writing this book. I like how she is sufficiently clear about all the medications and their uses in the book. She has excellent writing ability. Another thing I enjoy about her is how she weaves romance and crime together.

I can't honestly claim that I enjoyed the book completely. I didn't like how Cynthia flung herself into the hands of a stranger out of affection. She should have sensed that Sky may be a trap to bring her and the entire team down as the head of an investigation team and the secretary to a significant man who defends the interests of the country. The book appears unrealistic as a result of this. Considering that her lover, Dan, is one of the book's main protagonists, there is also no appropriate resolution to his story. In the book, I was unable to determine his fate. For these reasons, I rate the book three out of four stars.

I must commend the author for her talent in the creative realm. I'll also be grateful to the editor for not having discovered any mistakes in the book. I will remark that the book is exceptionally well edited. I recommend this book to fans of romance, mystery, and suspense. They will find it interesting and enlightening.

I enjoyed this book. However, what I don't like is the ending of the whole story. Cynthia ended up marrying who she just incidentally met, ignoring her first love. Thanks for the great review.

I also find the theory about birth control and contraception educative. And am happy about the wise decision Cynthia made concerning it. Thanks for the insightful review.
