After reading the whole Highlander series of novels--(And I have read them all--several will always be favorites) -- I was expecting romance and a challenging plot--I got the challenging plot--but I wasn't expecting a mystery/thriller with nothing more then foreplay by imagination and a little old kiss--not even really decribed at the end....Yes, I was disappointed! I didn't buy this book because I was looking for a mystery/thriller---I would have enjoyed it anyway if it had smacked even a little of romance.....I will be leery of the next publication. . . unfortunately Ms. Moning has moved on to a sphere of entertainment I'm not overly interested in.Why the cover--with two naked people on it--when these two never got naked at all...Why wasn't the genre of this book stated openly on the cover--instead the reviews on the back were all about romance...it made for a very misleading sales pitch for this book..and I find THAT very disturbing.
