First and foremost, this is a romance novel. So if those aren't your cup of tea, skip it. Having said that, romance novels are not my cup of tea, and yet I really enjoyed this one. It was very slow for the first two thirds, but I found myself enjoying the character development and the dialogue. The last third was spy thriller, but still fun. And the relationships felt truthful and funny and real. Oh, and the sex was not graphic, which I also appreciated. I don't think I'd read another one of her books, because she is, after all, a romance writer. But this was well done.
