I think that is the majority opinion here. This is definitely more of an action novel with some romance hint as you said it. Not sure about author's intentions.J_odoyo wrote: ↑01 Jan 2020, 07:49 Personally I wouldn't classify this book under romance genre. Tom and Kelly's relationship was so tasteless. Perhaps the author did this intentionally, but it made me see nothing like romance in this novel. Although I liked Sharon and Steve's relationship, there was no much to it to hint romance, especially in such a new relationship.

Even though the ending was optimistic and satisfying, Tom and Kelly as a leading couple were very much monotonous.Sharon2056 wrote: ↑01 Jan 2020, 14:39 The book should not be classified as Romance rather its a suspense novel. I liked all the aspects of the book and do agree that Kelly and Tom love was flat.

I think the author focused more on the suspense/action aspect of the plot.

I agree, Kelly and Mike had a better relationship than Kelly's marriage to Tom. She relied more on Mike's help than on Tom.AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑01 Dec 2019, 11:11 How do you feel about romance and relationships in this book? Would you categorize this book as a romance novel? What relationship was the most interesting one?
I wouldn't put this book in a romance genre. Maybe suspense/action. There was hardly any romance in it. Except for Kelly and Tom being married, and the possible relationship between Sharon and Steve. Speaking of Tom and Kelly's marriage I didn't feel the connection between them. I did love the relationship Kelly had with her brother Mike. I think that was my favorite relationship in the book.

Yup, I agree, this book contains tiniest bit of romance leading it to more action- thriller genreAntonelaMaria wrote: ↑01 Dec 2019, 11:11 How do you feel about romance and relationships in this book? Would you categorize this book as a romance novel? What relationship was the most interesting one?

For someone who has not read this book, this is good to know. I am more interested in reading it knowing that it is more of an action thriller.
