High Altitude

I need to confess I did something I hadn't done since way back when I first discovered the addictiveness of reading. I gorged on this book. Meaning that when I saw I had little time and no guarantee that I would have another reading break for an undetermined period and was unwilling to leave these characters and story to rest, at the 7% mark I started skimming over the book, reading bits and pieces of it until I got a partial picture and was somewhat appeased.

Don't judge, I know I shouldn't have done it. I wasn't even going to start this book for few days because I needed a break from reading. But once I picked this up I couldn't put it down.

Now that I have fully read this book, I feel free to say I loved it and I have a lot of things to say about it. Let’s see if I don’t mess up my original pre-review.

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed reading this book. It was sweet, provocatively steamy, and absolutely swoony. It gave me some sad tears but mostly huge smiles. It was truly a celebration of the best emotions overcoming the sad, painful and ugly ones.

The start of the story spikes the adrenaline, makes your heart beat, and set off with a high speed into the story of espionage, terrorists, political games, and power struggles.
At times it was hard to tell, who were the good guys, where they truly good guys, and what were their motives and interest. So many lies, layers of lies, and deception. As Kate and Greg's passion and affection grow and intensify, what are his true motives? Why is he really after her with such vigor? With every turn and twist in the story, more questions arise, that keeps you turning pages, trying to find out, what really is the truth, where are the loyalties, and what are the rue motives of each action.
The pull between Greg and Kate is tangible, but is it really love and passion, or is it just a manipulation for the goal? The author lays such a web in the story, it pulls you in, and keeps the hold, until all comes to light. And even in the end, you are left with questions of the true motives.
The book has lots of military, political, and cultural details, scenery that is built well, and is enticing. Sometimes too many details, that are not directly part of the plot, can be tedious, and the reader looses the train of thought, if not interest. Interesting story, that kept me guessing, even after the end
