A good mix of heart-pumping action, exciting chase scenes balanced off by slow, romantic moments, Romantic Road is a nice and intriguing weekend read.
Still reeling from the death of her husband Igor, Lacy was shocked when she was accosted and demanded to hand over some manuscripts that she has no knowledge of. Thus start a journey of realization that her husband is actually more than who she is led to believe, a journey that leads her to a “romantic road” to her husband’s mysterious past, and a journey that leads her to Max, someone who makes her feel trusted, cared for and loved once again. And just whet the appetites of readers, the story leads to a surprising revelation towards the end.
I enjoy the mixture of fast-paced action with slow-paced moments that Ms. McDowell interspersed throughout the story. This has given Lacy and Max more time to relax and get to know each other before they are pursued once again. The story provides a good characterization of Lacy, being a normal and simple woman caught up in her late husband’s web of intricacies, and this shows in the wrong decisions she made. Yet for all that, she does her best to keep up and think fast on her feet in emergency situations. I remember when she dumps the beer over her assailant's face so she could get away. That was quick thinking!
Part of the reason why I enjoy this book is also the great chemistry between Max and Lacy. Beyond that, the constant drop of small hints throughout the story will keep your mind thinking — could there be something more about Max than just someone who is interested in Lacy? Could he be more than who he portrays himself to be?
Set predominantly along different parts of beautiful Europe, Ms. McDowell’s fine writing will give you a vivid picture of where Max and Lacy went throughout their adventure. In retrospect, perhaps the one thing I felt might be good to have is a further extension to the story, an epilogue of sorts, to cover some unanswered points. I am also intrigued to find out more about the mysterious manuscript of Igor. Nevertheless, I was totally entertained and find this an enjoyable read.
