I was actually surprised at how well I liked this book. It was just a book that was laying around, no idea where it came from and I figured I'd read it before getting rid of it. There was no copyright date posted in the book so I didn't know how old the book was, but it seemed to be set several decades ago...maybe around the 60s? Sanderson, the main character, really handled being a security guard with her all. I got into the story pretty quickly. This was written when very few women were security guards or have many high jobs at that point, and Sanderson not only goes to prove she's qualified for the job as a security guard, but she goes well beyond just qualified, more like an excellent job. Her job isn't all easy either, in fact she has a rather tough job where she's being a security guard because of top secret information. Not everyone is rooting for her either. Sanderson has to handle some pretty rough decisions, not just in her career but also in her life outside her job. I would have to say that this book is well worth the read, especially for those who love strong woman roles and for those who are interested in not-so-current technology information because of the age of the book.
Blegh, this was awful. For a romance novel, this lacked romance. She didn’t even have a date with the guy she ends up with. She loved a doctor, but he ran off with someone else when she had to put his father through the wringer because he lost government secret information. 98% of this book was government tactics and espionage- which isn’t romantic at all. And to save our country, she had to sacrifice her relationship with her doctor. He didn’t want her anyways. She kept proposing to him and he kept rejecting her. It was embarrassing. This whole book made my anxiety spike and there was so much yelling about contacting top brass, my head started to hurt. Bad. Not even worth the 3¢ it cost me.
