The President's Henchman (Jim McGill, #1) door Joseph Flynn
I downloaded this one because it was a Free Friday offering on my Nook. I generally don't have high hopes for these, but was pleasantly surprised to discover this one to be a fast moving reasonably pleasant read. Only complaint was that there were so many characters and overlapping/converging plotlines that I had trouble keeping them straight. But it all worked out in the end. This author's on my read-again list.

This is yet another 'Oops' for me. I Thought it was an Adult book. And the characters are Adult, BUT there is NO sex scenes. Massive disappointment. In fact, there is Barely any type of romance in it at all.
It is very well written and a decent Crime/Mystery story. It could have been a lot better. It needed more intensity IMHO and the 'Romantic Interest' needed to be more. There were places that dragged just a bit.
Anyway, this is one of many lessons that took me awhile to learn. Be VERY careful what you download. Check the reviews using keywords and never trust Amazon. This was advertised in a way I thought it was for me. I love Crime, Mystery, Suspense and Action BUT I got to have my Romantic Connection and it HAS to be MUTURE Sex scenes. Not holding hands or just Hot Looks.
Was this the last time I made this mistake? Sadly, No.
If you want a decent crime story with NO mature content, go for it. You'll like this one.

Delightful book. Thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a romance, but not your full-on, gushy, hearts-and-flowers-type romance. It’s meaty, solid and robust. And how refreshing not to have a perfect female protagonist with gorgeous long blond/brunette/red hair, perfect eyes, bust measurement and legs up to her armpits. Equally non-perfect is the male protagonist: again, not the sort of hunk you’ve come to expect. Hunky, though, in quite a different way…
Robin is a bitter, overweight, mouthy woman with bad man-history, who works in a deli delivering as good as she gets, free of charge, along with the sandwiches she serves. She lives alone in a two-storey apartment, the ground floor of which she’s transformed into an indoor ‘park’. Somewhere to sit and reflect and forget. But her ambition to buy the deli from its soon-to-retire owner is becoming financially prohibitive, as it leaves her little cash for money for repairs to her haven. She reluctantly agrees to a live-in handyman: he does the d-i-y in return for lodgings. Enter Manfred. A German ex-powerlifter who’s been in prison for spying.
Two people both with ‘baggage’, both with demons. But how differently they each deal with it.
This was very well written (albeit a little rough around the edges editorially). There’s some cracking dialogue, some superb characters, all in a neat well-structured plot. Not a lot of male romance authors around, as far as I know and I don’t think I’ve read many. But this author certainly nailed it.
A wonderful read.
