Romance vs. Politics

[Kaylee Elmer]

I was definitely drawn to the cyber war. It was interesting and I liked the parts of the book that included Glenn, Tim and Garth. This part of the book kept me reading.

I hated the so-called romance. It was cheesy, and I thought both men were a poor match for Cynthia. Dan was boring, but Sky wasn't better. He just seemed like a creepy stalker to me. He was also so controlling. The birth control he brought Cynthia was so weird to me.

I don't know. When it comes to romance I just want to read romance, politics have no place in my head. I guess that's why I had an empty feeling after reading this. My opinion is that these two genres are really hard to combine.

I was definitely more drawn to the cyber war. Though I don't mind romantic subplots, they are never my main reason for reading books like this.

I usually don't like it when romance is integrated into the midst of intense plot points like is the case here with a cyberwar.

Hello all! Did you find yourself drawn more to the cyber war or the love triangle?

I believe there is an even mix of politics and suspense as well as love and relationships.

I enjoyed the cyber war more. Cyber war is relative to the present day world due to inventions and innovations in technology. The book wasn't more of romance.

Romance has been with us for quite a while, whereas cyber warfare is something that is happening now, and will do so even more, the more advanced technology gets. One cannot not be interested I suppose.

The cyber war kept the book interesting in an otherwise dull story.

I was in more for the cyber war rather than the romance, but I was disappointed on both counts. I felt that the author just skimmed through the plot and left a lot of loose ends, which made it disappointing.

Definitely the war, although I must say that the love triangle was a nice addition...romance in stories makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside...lol

To be honest, neither were particularly memorable for me, but I'd have to say that the cyber war was more interesting by far. The romance seemed like a PG13 version of 50 Shades of Gray or something; maybe Twilight without the vampires. Their love was so irresistible and undeniable that not knowing anything about each other at all didn't seem to matter. It was unbelievable.

The cyber war, though it wasn't as detailed as I would have liked it to be, was at least plausible and interesting. It shows how much we've invested and researched into warfare, and how easily countries can be taken down by fairly simple tech. That was interesting, and I wish she would have fleshed it out a little more.

I was more interested in the cyber war in all honesty but with a heavy heart I must say, it was a great disappointment

[fmd1821]

I preferred the parts dedicated to the cyber war. The love triangle was rather dull at times, but I am not a big fan of romance, so this is another way to explain my preference.

[Melchi Asuma]

Politics any day everyday. Politics almost always makes for better drama and conflict that relationship because of its magnitude.

[Tomah]

The cyber war plot is what drew me, especially after the off-putting first chapters on Cynthia's and Sky's budding romance, but it also ended up disappointing. I'm honestly not sure which was worse, but I suppose the cyber war bits are the least worse: they're just boring and poorly researched, not actively annoying like the romance. Cynthia and Sky were incredibly dislikable characters in my opinion.

[RoxieReads]

I was most definitely interested in the cyber war. I didn’t really like or enjoy the characters and I was always upset with Cynthia, so I couldn’t bring myself to care about their romance.
