kreela 's review for:

Romancing the Null by Tina Gower

4.0

---

I received this ebook as part of a July freebie event, and I picked it solely based on the title. I did not expect much, but boy was I wrong. The writing was excellent! The main character is an actuary (an actuary? So it is boring, right? No!) The actuary works on oracular predictions, and the whole society's system is geared towards changing behaviors and outcomes towards more favorable outcomes, sort of like checking the weather report or driving conditions before you leave for work. So it seems like a science fiction novel but reads more like a Burn Notice (A. Blythe) or Free Agent (by JC Nelson) novel.

So you will find:
Lots of action
Great supporting characters (who have lives that are not dependent on the MC...awesome!)
Interesting and different take on the love interest

What you won't find:
hot, sexy love (the romance consists of hints, no kissing)
Bad typos (refreshing, isn't it, in this age of self-editing?)

Happy reading!
