This was such a wonderful love story. I enjoyed it very much. The storyline was spot on and was well executed. You have action, drama and adventure and love all in one book. loved the characters, I enjoyed this book can't wait for the next one. I recommend it.

I liked this, though there’s a few times the writer lost me where she was one place and ended up somewhere else, but over all it was enjoyable it had romance and it had suspense

Poignant, thought-provoking, and cleverly written. The characters are drawn with such sensitivity that you feel you are there with them. A brilliant book and one that I would recommend to everyone.

Heather works as a reporter for the Dallas Morning News and finds out about a virus that's been released on a bus. She calls someone and leaves a message that she'd like to interview them about the bus and people getting sick. She finds a puppy on the side of the road and takes it to the vet's office where she meets Daniel. She finds out a short time later that she's pregnant by her soon to be ex husband.

Daniel works for the CDC and gets called away about a new virus that popped up in Kenya. But since he and Heather are getting to know one another and have gone out on a couple of dates, he asks her to come with him to Atlanta for a few days, never knowing that this trip will change both their lives.

While in Atlanta they are exposed to the virus and she has a miscarriage. She's devastated but is determined to help Daniel figure out who is spreading the virus in the US and infecting people. This search leads them to go to different places including a cruise ship where they get closer to each other.

I enjoyed this story with the exception of just a few minor things. The way everyone spoke to each other in this book was so matter of fact, without any real feeling and it made it hard to connect with them.

The other thing that bothered me was the use of mice and rats in the CDC labs and how much time was spent telling us about it. I'm an animal lover and even though I know it goes on, I think we need to come up with other ways of testing, instead of testing on animals. So seeing it graphically displayed in this book about how they injected a mouse with the virus and it dying, was enough to throw me right out of the romance that was happening between Heather and Daniel. I just wish those details hadn't been a part of the story.

I appreciate the advanced read copy. In exchange for an honest review.

Overall, I enjoyed the story and found it interesting and really had me thinking about what the CDC does and how too often people are worried about the bottom line and not public safety.

I struggled with some of the events in the book. Not sure you would travel to several locations with your girl friend in search of someone releasing a drug to cause illness and infertility.

The quickness their relationship moved along just did not totally ring true.

Daniel and Heather meet at his brother's vet clinic, and the sparks fly. She is a reporter and he works for the CDC. The story has potential, but the issues both had were not needed since the bio-terrorist story was more than enough. Would still recommend, but seemed excessive at times, and made for easier skimming. Would 3.5
