This very well might have been the stupidest book I've ever read. (And yes, I know it's a sequel.) Jordan, the main character, who is supposedly an intelligence officer, acts instead like a mentally unstable 14-year-old stalker. She quits her career with the foreign service in order to run off and find Jared, her college boyfriend, after finding out that he had faked his own death and disappeared 10 years ago. Even though they only dated for about 3 months in college, Crazy Lady has been pining for him ever since--can't maintain a relationship, can't live in one place for very long, etc and so on. So she takes off on a search for him--and bingo! Less than a week later, she finds him! Because of course everyone who fakes their own death CONTINUES TO USE THEIR REAL NAME afterward. Seriously. And on the first day of her search, she is attacked and confronted by a man who is looking for a woman connected to Jared. Instead of finding this creepy and suspicious, "Intelligence Agent" (and I use the word "intelligence" very loosely) Jordan decides to tag along with the guy, mostly because he has "blue eyes and muscular forearms." I won't even bother getting into the rest of the ridiculous and far-fetched plot because it makes my head hurt just thinking about it. Good thing I got this book for free. Now if only I can get the author to refund the hours of my life I wasted reading it. Not sure if this was second in a series, as the dialog kept referring to events that happened years before, and they could easily have been another book entirely. Made it a bit confusing now and then, but with the country hopping ex-State Department agent searching for the old flame she thought was dead and the hunky Mossad agent searching for his cousin, who happens to be married to the old flame, there was enough action (not to mention sexual tension) to keep me turning the pages.
