It seems that the author has one story theme that runs through all her books-Alex is hurt again. Alex almost dies again. Jack takes a break in this book and now Robert is hurt again, almost dies. and again, may not be able to practice surgery because of his injuries.
The bad guys are all the same vicious, evil, and crazy interchangeable characters who spew the same hatred and lines, regardless if they are mobsters, jihadists, Russians, or the evil white administrator.
Then we have the missing great moments between these star-crossed lovers.
We wait for Alex and Jacob’s great scene when they see each other again. All is explained, and forgiven and the pledge their love--Wait, it never happens. There is no happy encounter, no talk or explanations, just Jacob and a huge bouquet of flowers.
Next, there are storyline inconsistencies and character confusions. The terrorist in previous book who attacks the congressman's home is named as Yassar Ahmid. In this book he becomes Nasir the terrorist from an earlier book who also died in that story.
Then we have the Russian Vadim as the hospital killer, and he is also the St Germaine killer who’s been doing this since 1939? How old is this guy? In this book he seems to be in his 50’s. First he describes his daughter as a pregnant teenager, then she's a college graduate.
Shooter and others share the story in previous books how at age 3 he witnessed his father killing his mother by shooting her in the head, but in this book he beats her to death. Which way did she die?
Finally, we are supposed to believe that everyone is going to forgive and accept Jacob? Her die hard conservative, vengeful, often irate grandfather? No, not buying it. Only Jack’s reaction and anger rings true, and painting Alex as a love blinded teen does not go with the character she’s been presented as in previous books. Where is the intelligent, sophisticated and not very trusting or forgiving character who fiercely loves her family and friends? No matter how much everyone rationalizes the reasons behind Jacob’s choices he still made them, and he seems to be the only one who realistically sees them for what they are.
Add to that constant lazy editing with regular grammar issues and you get really poor writing, weak storylines an predicable lukewarm characters.
