This is what I call an average action/adventure. That's not saying the book is bad, it's just saying I've read this book before and it had a different name and different characters and a bit of a differnt story. But the basic outline is the same. Troubled Male Character meets Troubled Girl Character, they feel attracted to each other and it just so happens they can help each other out. On the way to do whatever they are going to do they run into good guy that turns out to be bad guy. Usually by this time they have fallen madly in love whith each other and unite to take out The Bad Guy. Not going to make anyone's brain over load. Don't get me wrong I like these type of books I just wish that the stories wouldn't always wait until the middle to run out of ideas and then go down the beaten path. Rant over. Three things I liked about this book. The pacing was good until I got about 1/2 to 3/4 through the book then it did the above. The love scenes do not go on and on for 50 pages, there is one paragraph and the storie moves on. Finally this story does have good pacing until near the end. Until that point there really is no violence, random explosions or crazy villans. Would recommend this to anyone who likes sea adventures with a little mystery and suspense thrown in.
