"This one does not disappoint!"

Talk about action packed adrenalin-rushing adventure, it's all here in this book. I know every little minor interruption kept me in a perpetual bad mood while reading this book because I simply did not want to put it down.

This is Mike Muldoon's story and what a story it is. Mike's been picked to show Joan DeCosta around the base and get things ready for the President to visit. Instant sparks fly between Mike and Joan but Joan has a hang up about age...mainly the fact that she's several years older than Mike. Mike's only problem is that he was a fat geeky kid growing up and now he's sort of grown into a gorgeous hunk. He still does not believe it himself and his living out his dream of being a SEAL is more than he could ever imagine.

Joan is no beauty queen but she's comfortable with herself and likes what she does. She doesn't have time for anything serious with Mike but he's just so persuasive! Then there are all these other things getting in the way like location and what each of them do for a living. All Joan wants to do is maybe have a fling and then go back to the normal routine of her life if there is such a thing. Neither of them can even begin to know what is going on behind the scenes prior to the President's visit and how it will totally change their lives forever!

Then there's the secondary story of Joan's grandparents, Vince and Charlotte. I think I enjoyed this story as much as I did Joan and Mike's story. The background to this intertwines beautifully in this two-fold story.

I have thoroughly enjoyed every Suzanne Brockmann book I've ever read and hope that there will be many more to come. This one is highly recommended!
