I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. It's not the book of the century, but I had a great time reading it. I find the author effortlessly balances the two components of the genre : the thriller is smooth and interesting although predictable, and the romance just as enticing. 
 I'm looking forward to reading the second book (and probably the third one too) to see how the author handles making this a series (surely well enough given how far it's gotten). I must say I got into this thinking I'd only read the first one, but it's definitely not going to be the case !
