   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) skipstern | Jul 11, 2021 |   ) jamespurcell | Sep 14, 2014 |  ) ccayne | Apr 21, 2011 | First Drop refers to the roller coaster ride on which the story opens. Charlie is body guard to sullen 14 year old Trey, son of a financial software designer whose program is worth big money. A kidnap attempt on Trey and the disappearance of Trey's father and the body guard team set them on the run. The pace however drops like the dizzying end of real ride and slows to a wobble, never really recovering. The menaces are pedestrian, and Charlie talks in her head at the expense of snappy exchange that might engage the reader in some ironic aspect of her, her situation. Light on characters. Not quite my cup of tea. (  ) grheault | Jul 29, 2009 | The protagonist is a 26 year old woman who is ex-British Army and who has agreed to join the protection agency run by her former lover. She takes a job in the US to serve as bodyguard for a spoiled teen-aged son of a supposed computer programming whiz. The premise of the series’ protagonist is very good, and the story has definite promise. Also, part of the setting for the action, which is nicely non-stop, is the Spring Break Nationals in Daytona Beach, Florida--exotic and fun. The plotting is good if not outstanding. The problem with the book is the writing, which barely makes it above mediocre. It gets in the way of what could have been some interesting characters—teenagers. But Sharp's descriptive skills are not up to making these kids real. Her charge, in particular, is so sadly drawn that you wind up feeling sorry for him because Sharp is so limited in understanding and writing ability. The emotional connection between Charlie and her ex-lover Sean is written so badly that you wince every time it comes up, and start wishing for blood, guts and bodies so that you can wipe out the memory of the “romance”. Too bad, because, again, the premise is intriguing. But it’s not a series in which I’ll read further. ( )1  Joycepa | Jun 30, 2008 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
