The first chapter in this book was awesome and I thought this was going to be the start of a good series. 1 1/2 stars rounded down because it was such a huge disappointment. Oh yes, why the 1,5 stars? Because the only character I liked was Bianca St Ives!!!! So, final thoughts about this story!!!!!Let the face tell you what they are. I am not sure what the plot was suppose to be.okay, the mc, heroine, Bianca St Ives, is pretty awesome.in the beginning.but how many times did I have to be told what she has hidden in her garter!!!! Is this a romantic suspense.well, romance.was there any.maybe I missed it.suspense.think I missed that too!!!! Thriller.okay, lots of bad guys, killers and kidnappers, etc etc.oh man.even the cliff-hanger at the very end of the book didn't make me want to continue the story, which I presume is book #2. By page 200.the plot just "plodded" along!!! I was still not sure where the story was going. Nothing made any sense.not the characters.not the story. I had such high hopes after reading Chapter 1.the story started with a certainly got my attention.I couldn't wait to turn to the next chapter!!!Īnd what happened after turning the 1st page of Chapter 2? Nothing!!! What follows are loooong and repetitive scenes after scenes.
Karen Robards's latest book, The Ultimatum, which looks like the 1st book in The Guardian Series was one of the most excruciating books I have read by this author. With only a fellow criminal for backup and her life on the line, it's up to Bianca to uncover the terrifying truth behind what really happened.and set it right, before it's too late. Ives, a high-value target and someone who has been on most-wanted lists all over the world for over two decades, and they mean to use Bianca as bait. They'll stop at nothing to capture Richard St. The thing is, the US government doesn't believe he's really dead. But her latest gig had a little hiccup-if you count two hundred million dollars and top secret government documents going missing as little. Running a multinational firm with her father, she makes a living swindling con men out of money they stole-and she's damn good at it. Now a striking beauty with fierce skills, the prodigy has surpassed the master.
Her father prepped her well to carry on the family business. Instead of playing hopscotch or combing her dolls' hair, she studied martial arts with sensei masters and dismantled explosives with special-ops retirees. Ives knew she was different from all her friends. Alternate cover edition of ASIN: B01LLPKKH0.
