The book is extremely well written and makes compelling reading. With twist and turns throughout, the reader doesn’t know how the story will end. Who will accomplish their goal? Will the attraction between Addison and Julia be too strong to deny? Will success at any cost be worth achieving?

Well this actually surprised me. I didn't think I would be able to connect to the characters as well as I did, knowing nothing about their fields. I loved seeing the will they or wont they throughout the book. I liked seeing the way the Americans appoint someone one. The romance was sweet in places.
