I really enjoyed the book, however the wrap up at the end happened really quickly compared to the rest of the book. So 4.5 stars honestly ( )

Scot Harvath is in bad shape mentally, drinking to forget the devastating personal losses he suffered in the prior book, Backlash. He is lured outside a bar to fight two thugs as part of an assassination attempt, which fails only because his team arrives in time to save him. When he finds out a close Norwegian friend was tortured to death to get to him and someone has put a $100 million bounty on him, he decides to bust out of his funk. Eventually, he meets up with the female Norwegian prodigy of the dead man (Solvi), and their relationship starts to smolder. (Harvath's code name is Norseman from having bedded so many SAS flight attendants.) Things seem to point back to Russia, but it's a feint. ( )

Not a fan of this one. After 40%, I skimmed the hell out of it because it was so boring. I can't believe the last book was so exciting and now this one is a whole bunch of talking and no action. AND the romance? Too soon! ( )
