I've read most of Ms. McKenna's books and this seemed a little too boilerplate/formulaic to enjoy. The standard formula seems to be: girl is in trouble, girl meets boy (who's having his own set of problems), and both wind up running from bad guys that seem to have more toys available than James Bond. There's an intense sexual attraction that seems to lead to "love" by the end of the book after dealing with all of the drama caused by said bad guys. It's not that this was a bad book per se, but I simply couldn't get into it and/or enjoy it.
