Romance & Relationship in this book
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.

I liked Sharon and Steve's relationship, there wasn't much to it but that makes more sense because it was a new relationship. I love their banter and wit, though.

I agree that the marriage wasn't quite believable, it was like they had just started being roommates and hardly knew each other. I did enjoy the relationship between Kelly and Mike, but it felt a little too coincidental and easy...AntonelaMaria wrote: ↑01 Dec 2019, 11:11 I wouldn't put this book in a romance genre.

I would not classify this as a romance either. I would consider it action with a little romance to color the characters, but not an action romance (if that is a category).

Yeah, it seems that we are told and not shown as in many books. But to be honest I was soon over it and not expected change towards the end.Stephanie Elizabeth wrote: ↑01 Dec 2019, 19:00 It seems that we are all on the same wavelength concerning Kelly and Tom's romance--or lack of.

I think that Steve overall has an appealing and charming personality. I liked him as a character. Glad that the author gave him somewhat of a "happy end" even if I wish it was more revealing.Reynaa wrote: ↑01 Dec 2019, 14:50 I agree, Tom and Kelly's relationship seemed a bit flat. I think there is just too much going on with the rest of the story so their relationship isn't well developed.

I don't know why but I was really annoyed how Kelly and Tom's relationship was portrayed. It seems she is this "perfect little wife" meant to serve her husband. He commenting after she brings him coffee to bed and after a night of whatever, what took him so long to get married. I mean come on...That just rubbed me the wrong way...
