The Assassin

At last, it's the weekend. I still feel like I need a vacation. Weekends are nice, but I am ready to get away for a few days and just be, if that makes sense. Unfortunately, I don't think that will happen for a while.

I haven't been in the mood to read much lately. I've picked up a number of books, read a few chapters, then put them down again. One book I finished this week is Rachel Butler's The Assassin, which I rate 3.5 out of 5. The label on the spine calls it a romantic suspense. The suspense part is stronger than the romance; although the main characters love each other by the end of the book, it happens so quickly that I'm not convinced of it. I believe in their chemistry and in the fact that they want to spend more time together. I'm not so sure about love, though. This is apparently the first book in a series that will follow the characters; I'm interested enough to try number two, which will be available later this year.
