The author does a great job of building tension and suspense, while also developing the romantic aspect of the story. The chemistry between Nick and Sam is palpable and their struggles feel real, making their love story all the more compelling.
The setting of the story is also noteworthy, as Force is able to vividly capture the political and social landscape of Washington, D.C.
