with this book.
Louise Bagshawe has been a favourite author of mine for the last 6 years and I have to say I was extremely disappointed with this book.
It started off really good and was loving it until about 300 or so pages in.
For me, there was a lack of passion in this book. I actually love to have a decent love/sex scene in a book but we didnt get this in this one. When Louise B normally does these scenes quite tastefully.
I also thought the ending was rushed. It all wrapped up very quickly and nothing really got resolved.
I won't give up with this author, I can only hope her latest book "Desire" lives up to her usual standards.

Louise Bagshawe books used to be fun, sassy and entertaining. Yes, they have always been slightly far fetched but now to the point where they are ludicrous. I think she has tried to make the cross over into thriller with dismal results. Shame, as I used to love her books but will not be purchasing any future releases.

This is the first Louise Bagshawe that i have read and to be honest it will be the last. When this book started out i quite liked it and had it continued on the same level i probably would have given it an average score of 3 stars. However, by the end i was quite eager just to get it finished - it just didn't hold my interest.
The plot was fine but once the chase started i couldn't help getting bored. Constant changing locations and appearances. The odd assassination attempt. You would think that this would be terribly exciting but no. It was actually rather dull. As a character Melissa just irritated the hell out of me - I hate this whole desperate for a man thing that keeps appearing in this genre. The woman is an academic in oxford and just moans about a life full of regrets! Get an effing grip woman. I prefer strong female characters not one that feels like life was a waste cos of losing one bloke. And she was so pathetic about her parents too. Will's new fiancée Olivia was not much better and i must agree with the assassin Lola Montoya's opinion of her. I get completely bored reading books with women marrying for money and glamour. They are all the same in my opinion - worthless. Will was Ok i suppose. Nothing special.
The ending of this story was quite a let down - very rushed and a bit weak but like i said by this point i was past caring.
Another major flaw in this book was the astonishing amount of inconsistencies! You can deal with a few (especially across a long series of books) but this was just mental. Many reviewers have commented that the book was so fast-paced you didn't notice or mind them so much. I beg to differ; the story was fast-paced i won't deny that but i would be reading (really fast) and then something didn't make sense and hang on a sec... thats not right. For the first few i re-read bits to make sure i wasn't just being stupid then i got used to them i suppose and tried to ignore them. Not Good.
It was a pretty average read overall. The bad guys were not all that scary and 1 actually seemed like a right wimp near the end! I wouldn't recommend this really and i think i will stick to my usual genre in future; i have read a few "chick lit" books lately and most of them were pretty naff.
