Editoral Review
In her book Cornering Carmen, S.E. Smith presents a fast-paced and thrilling story that is sure to keep readers engaged until the very end. First published on December 1, 2012, the novel belongs to the romance genre, and Smith masterfully weaves together elements of suspense and action to create a page-turner that is both heartwarming and exciting.
The book’s plot revolves around the character of Carmen, a successful businesswoman who finds herself in danger when an unknown enemy starts threatening her life. Enter Aric, a former Navy SEAL who has been hired to protect Carmen.
As the two spend more time together, they find themselves drawn to each other, but will the danger surrounding them prevent them from exploring what could be a deep and meaningful relationship? Smith’s writing style is clean and concise, and she does an excellent job of keeping the pace of the book moving forward.
The setting is well-realized, and readers will appreciate how the author uses a variety of locations to keep things fresh and interesting. One of the strengths of the book is its character development.
Both Carmen and Aric are nuanced and complex individuals, and readers will quickly find themselves invested in their relationship. The secondary characters are also well-drawn, and they help to add depth and context to the story.
The book does have some weaknesses, however. The main conflict feels a bit thin at times, and there are moments when the action feels a bit contrived.
Some readers may also find themselves frustrated with some of the decisions that the characters make. Despite these flaws, however, Cornering Carmen is a satisfying read that will appeal to fans of the romance and suspense genres.
Smith’s writing is strong enough to overcome any reservations that readers may have, and the book will likely leave them feeling satisfied and entertained. In terms of a rating, I would give Cornering Carmen a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.
While it is not a perfect book, it is certainly a well-written and engaging one that readers will likely enjoy. Fans of the genre should definitely give it a try.
