A great book for suspense and the terrorist plot line. I don't think the author does justice to the competent women in this story at times.

EMP Honeymoon is an interesting book to read, and I enjoyed every bit of it. Starting from Kelly and Tom's vacation to how they discovered a location operated by terrorists and how they handled the situation, it was incredible.

Kelly and Tom spent their honeymoon in Honduras after their marriage, and they discovered a terrorist hideout that was planning on bombing the US.

I'm going to have to add this to my TBR list. I typically go for books more focused on romance (romantic suspense being my favorite) but this seems to be perfect for when I get in a reading rut and need something new and light to read to help me out if it.

I'm wondering about the book's cover, tho. funny, cause I was expecting Kelly and Tom went to an outerspace trip for honeymoon but unknowingly came along with a group of terrorist in the aircraft. I'm eager to read from the perspective of the terrorist. Thank you for a well-written review.

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how the much anticipated honeymoon of Kelly and Tom Turbulo planned out after encountering the terrorists in Honduras with their planned sinister plot. I like action filled stories and this one is right up my alley.

When I saw the cover of the book, I thought it was about love happening in space but it seems to not be what I thought after all I don't know what the “E. M. P" actually means. Isn't it funny that while having your honeymoon, you discovered some terrorists (although I wonder what gave them away easily), and you now need to discover their plans, so you can stop them? This is going to be a fun read.

I love books in the 3rd person, especially when the reader gets to follow multiple characters. This seems perfect for this book and may make it a very enjoyable read!

Looking at a light-hearted terrorist story is what this reviewer describes. It is good for a quick weekend. The reviewer did a great job of letting us know that the action starts right away. Sounds like a great read for those wanting an exciting enjoyable read.

I feel there is a difference between cover and actual story. The cover is of outer space and story is of honeymoon. I am really interested in how these are connected

This story looks very entertaining and enjoyable. Who would have imagined that something like that would happen in the middle of the snow moon. All full of action and adventure.

I like your review, thanks for highlighting that there are unfinished scenes. I particularly like that everything fits and is clear.

Post by Anna_Hernandez »

This book sounds like a perfect fit for me, combining elements of romance and thrilling adventure. I wholeheartedly agree with your point about the importance of details in adding depth to a story. However as you also mentioned, sometimes keeping it short and sweet works just as well, even opening the book to a wider audience. Thank you for a great review!
