"Undetected"

Maybe I'm too cynical. Maybe I'm ungracious. But, the idea of two men so totally wanting the best for one woman that they're willing to help each other win her heart is a bit of a stretch in my mind. In "Undetected" by Dee Henderson, two men, each in the submarine navy, are vying for the heart of a genius who makes incredible breakthroughs in submarine technology. There were a few moments when I thought, "Oh, maybe I don't know how this will turn out." (but as it turned out, I did know all along - which is what you sort of expect from a romance)

"Undetected" was easy to read and the "science" seemed plausible enough, to a layperson such as myself, to not have me groaning. The only downside to the writing itself was that the two men trying to win the woman's heart both sounded the same. There was no character in their dialog. I didn't get a sense of personality and they were both too perfect. It was like she could have flipped a coin to decide whom to marry.

On the up side, some romance novels make me laugh because they are so ridiculous. You know, they meet one afternoon and by that evening she can't face life without him. Fortunately, this wasn't the case - yay.

BTW, I got a copy free in exchange for an honest review. Cheers
