Slight variation in the suspense plotline; pretty much the same in the romance one. Hagen is not really involved here, for once - in fact, he's very much a side issue. I enjoyed the tangle of agents - does Dane count as a double agent, I wonder? Both (or all of) his masters appear to be on the same side, but... Other than that - white slavery, with a personal touch; nice to see Michael again, and get a little deeper into him. I like Robin, and her setup was quite good - all the training and no ties. Michael is unexpectedly perceptive - though I suppose if she'd ever talked to anyone about her feelings, someone else might have come up with much the same thing. The usual insta-lust, resisted only for a short time. Nice suspense climax, and final twist; and a happy-ever-after, of course. ( )
