EMP Honeymoon is a fast-paced action novel about a honeymoon couple who find a terrorist group in Honduras who are plotting against the United States. The story is told from different characters point-of-view, including one of the terrorists. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent and honest review.

I do not mind reading a book that is not a suspenseful thriller, as long as it's an entertaining read. I am a little skeptical about the story being told from different perspectives. But interesting review!

I'm reviewing this book too and I previously read Cynthia and Dan: Cyber War by the same author, and I think this kind of low-key suspense is her style. In both books, even if the stakes are high, the mystery is predictable and focusing more on keeping a fast-pace and a light read.
I agree with you, they're enjoyable books but not if you're looking for a lot of twists and turns or much depth.
Great review, thank you!

The name of the book just misguided me. So this is an action novel, not just a romance, and it is for me. Congratulations on being BOTD

This looks like a well-written mystery revolving around a newly-wed couple who stumbled upon a terrorist plot during their honeymoon in Hondura. This sounds really intriguing and gripping for readers who like action and romance. Congratulations to the author and thanks for sharing a thorough review.

I have read a book by this author previously and she does write at quite a pace. However, she also seems to be able to inject some realism into her stories, and certainly appears to have a good knowledge of the world of investigations and mystery. I like the sound of the different perspectives from the characters, and the scene of the president and the press passing commentary sounds very good. Your review was enjoyable and informative to read.

From your description it sounds like a light action book. Fun to read, but not overly suspenseful. Despite the pacing flaws, it sounds like it is written well. I don't really care for this type of book so will likely pass on this one.

I don't like books that revolve around terrorists. Add in the political bits and it sounds like this book is not for me.

A book about honeymoon and then terrorists. That's not a nice combination. Nevertheless not a bad book. Thank for the review.

I love books which are fast paced and action packed just like E-M-P Honeymoon by Dorothy May Mercer. I really want to follow up the story of Kelly and Tom, if they were able to find the sinister plot the group of terrorists they stumbled on had and if they later proceeded to their honeymoon. Thrilling review.
Books are beautiful.

A fast-paced action novel "E M P Honeymoon" by Dorothy May Mercer, which follows a couple Kelly and Tom Turbulo who are on their honeymoon in Honduras and encounter a group of terrorists. The two are up to find out the mission of the group before they attempt to stop them. The story appears interesting to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting thriller story about a couple on their honeymoon that does not turn out exactly as planned. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

On our honeymoon then I bump into terrorists? I would take any available means of transport run for our dear live. I love this kind of genres and I am sure this will keep me company during this Christmas holiday. Great review

Seems like a light read for fans of suspense! Even though it is listed as a romance, I feel that it falls more into suspense. Honeymooners stumbling upon a terrorist group... I wonder how this will end?!
