As romantic suspense it falls short

I was intrigued by this one because it appeared to be a romantic suspense with a bit of a psychic paranormal element - which it was... sort of. There was nothing particularly wrong with the author's writing but this book should not be classified as a romance, in my opinion. The romance was VERY poorly developed and the hero was a pretty flat character. I was highly disappointed. However, I'm betting that readers who like mystery/suspense books would find this very enjoyable. I just don't recommend it for romance readers.
Good start to a series.

Double Vision was a good start to a series, but the set up almost overtook the book. The "main" heroine of the book is only 10 until about half way into the book. The first half deals with the set up of the situaion, that will continue in the next two books. The romance seemed somewhat forced, as we don't have any insight into what J.T.'s thoughts or feelings are until after they are toghether for the first time, and almost 3/4 through the book. It was like the writter felt they should be in love so she writes in that they have feelings for each other, after only two brief meetings, one in the dark on the run.

I am also not sure why Alex waited for 20 years and why he married Rina for the information he wanted. It really didn't seem like something someone this evil would do.

The suspense is good, but there is no real resolution to the story. I will be reading the next book, and probably the third, I hope less time is spent in the past and more on the characters in the present.

Over two decades ago in a tragic car accident that killed her mother, Rina Morell lost her eyesight. However, over the twenty-two years of blindness her doctors insist there is no physical cause to her loss of sight.

Following a recent accident in her home, Rina's vision partially returns. However, similar incidents occur making her fearful of her spouse Alex Lopez. She is unaware that Alex was involved in the car accident and has reasons to keep an eye on her when he married her. Fearing that her husband plans to kill her, Rina turns to CIA agent JT Wyatt, who has reasons to watch Alex that has to do with the latter's family inheritance and business although he prefers watching Rina.

This is an entertaining romantic suspense thriller with the emphasis more on the woman in peril. The story line is action-packed from the onset as Rina begins to wonder whether her husband wants to harm her and so as her vision returns she begins to uncover just whom she married. Readers will appreciate this tense tale as the heroine begins to focus on a killer while looking forward to more of the same brand suspense.
