    I think it's tough to do romantic suspense well in the page limit of Love Inspired Suspense, but this one did a good job. The pace of the romance is mitigated by the fact that Amy and Jordan have known each other for a long time and are somewhat reviving a dating relationship that was derailed at some point in the past. The suspense takes off almost from the beginning and continues through most of the book.The "classified" aspects of their work (SEALs, DEA, and Ambassador) means that they don't connect all the dots behind the whys until at about 2/3rds of the way through the book. It also creates a gulf between Amy and Jordan that he can't explain. Both had problems with fathers leaving them as kids. Amy's father made promises that he rarely kept. Jordan's father was a police officer who died in the course of duty, prompting his mother to descend into a depression that she never came back from. So they're both struggling with issues that influence their relationship with each other. .
