text: [the above is an actual quote from the book]
  
  I don't usually read romances, but got this one at the library.  I thought: Thriller.  Hijacked plane, navy seal...all the right stuff.
  
  And the beginning was promising.  Stan fixes everything, and has a human side to him that was compelling.
  
  Then the plot hit the fan!  As a thriller it stunk.  The highjacking was interwoven into the plot weakly, as an after thought.  The romantic "tension" between the protagonists was forced and irritating.  The dialogue is mundane.  The message that horniness leads to true romantic (Sam and Alyssa) love is rubbish.
  
  The only worthwhile character was the highjacked girl, and I think it was brave of the author to not have her come out unscathed.
  
  The historic (WWII) componant was interesting.
  
  But overall, I kept asking who the audience is for this book.  Not lovers of thrillers like me--and I wonder, do romance readers even care about a highjacked plane, or was that just getting in the way of wondering whether Teri will ever tell Sam that she loves him!
