Hmm, I would give the book a C-/D+. There were just too many factually incorrect things for me to set aside my disbelief and get into the story.
Spoiler:
The fact the heroine was able to stop the Porsche she was a passenger in while it’s going over 90 mph on a road with hairpin turns in the opening sequence should have been an indication. Then there’s the fact the hero is in the CIA yet threatens to arrest her and is leading an investigation within the US. The heroine seems to be a Diabetic only when it’s convenient for the plot. And it is forgotten about otherwise. I also found it really odd that the hero believed so absolutely in the heroine’s guilt on very flimsy circumstantial evidence or that the heroine was so willing to go along with him. Then there's the addition of a British spy who is in love with the heroine. All of this is just in the first few chapters of the book. There's lots more.

And while I appreciated the author didn't add a lot of scenes from the villain's POV, it was obvious who he was pretty early on.

The heroine was a total Mary Sue, there is a lot of info-dumping, and the romance seemed forced.

On the other hand it was a quick read. I would be willing to give the author another try, just not with this particular series.
