Well, shoot. I didn't love this for a variety of reasons, and now I'm relieved to know there's not a Faraday #3. But that's not fair, because this was her first novel, and some of my dislikes here are completely absent from the later novels. Where to start...really didn't like the "younger virgin" protagonist, while I generally am pretty good as suspending belief for romance I found the idea that anyone would send these two - who were *clearly* fixated on each other - on a mission together preposterous, and...I'm over plots that feature Middle Eastern terrorists! Plus...not spicy enough, and that there is the nail in the coffin. If you read Abrams as Montgomery, start with the later ones!
