Pulse by Anisa Damien is like falling into a James Bond movie or something directed byMichael Bay which isn’t a bad thing. Its a Tryst so the story is short so the plot moves very quickly. Though there is a big silly misunderstanding, I don’t mind since in the heroines’ shoes, I would have scurried about like a chicken with its head cut off. Except I would have already jammed a hand into my purse, looking for my phone so I could call myMama. Pulse is a solid C+ book.

Gabe and Cassidy Sabastien nee Raleigh are divorced, but even with the papers filed they still have a strong attraction to each other. They divorced because Gabe couldn’t providethe stability that Cassidy needed. So, when Gabe disappears for a while, Cassidy says ciao. Little does she know that Gabe is a secret agent with the US government.

Maybe, I’m biased because I’m recovering from having my tonsils removed, but Pulse was just what I needed. Its sort of cheesy, it doesn’t push any boundaries, and the HEA never reallyseems too out of reach, but its a good light read to pick you up. The dialogue is pretty slick and gives the characters a little more depth than they would have with another author. Its the sort of read that you want on a sick day.

This is my first AA romance, but, shock and gasp and surprise, it wasn’t different from anything with a white couple. I may not check out more of Anisa Damien, but I’m sure to check out more AA romance. Hopefully, with a paranormal twist. No offense to Anisa Damien, but she seems to write more suspense than I am into.

Pulse is a respectable triller. Its not rocking the romance boat, but it doesn’t insult the reader’s intelligence. Cassidy and Gabe are a fun couple that you know are going to get back together and they don’t annoy you while they’re doing it
