To be honest, I didn't really know what genre this book was supposed to because I hurriedly skipped the blurb. All I saw was that a recommended author had a recommended book as a freebie on Amazon Kindle *bows my head in shame.* I was under the impression that Ms. Force writes romantic suspense, and so was expecting that. What I expected and what I got were two vastly different thing. What I read was....weird. Let me see if I can explain. 
 The basic plot is this: Retired SEAL/Black Ops/highly-trained-and-deadly John Huntington has started his own security business and goes to hire office-and-home space from Suzanne Barron, interior designer with space to rent. Immediately John sees Suzanne, and I mean immediately, he decides he absolutely has to have her. Fair enough. Suzanne, also, by the end of that first meeting, is immeasurably aroused by this dark dangerous guy. Also, fair enough. 
 John asks - no, tells Suzanne they are going on a date. And that is the beginning of my issues with the book. Throughout the plot, John tells Suzanne what is going to happen next. I found creepy instead of sexy. The sex starts and doesn't stop. Over and over we are regaled with scene after scene of John and Suzanne, with many descriptions of the magnitude of John's er...you know, and the verve with which copulation was taking place. 
 Don't get me wrong, the plot wasn't bad; it was progressing well enough. Then all of a sudden, we had some attempts to weave in a pseudo-suspense, pseudo-romantic plot. I was confused. The pseudo-romance, although, IMO, not authentic, fit in better than the pseudo-suspense. That was an utter fail. 
 So there you have it. It was weird. I can't tell if it is because of my misconstrued expectations or not. I don't know if I would call it erotic romance. The "erotic" was there, but not the "romance", and I most certainly would not call this suspenseful in any way shape or form. 
 But the writing was not bad at all, and excellent for a freebie. I will definitely be checking out more of Ms. Force's work, but I will be sure to check for romantic suspense next time. Heh.
