Saving Liberty by Helena Newbury

Ugh this book was hard work. I really had to push myself to finish it. In the end I just accepted the absurdity of the characters and situation and rolled with it. However unless you enjoy predictable plots with one dimensional characters, I wouldn't recommend it.
The "hero" basically goes against everything he believes in because he's become infatuated with the president's daughter. From a 5 minute meeting (if that). His internal monologue totally contradicts his actions.
The 'plot' is completely predictable. When the villain is introduced there is essentially the written equivalent of a flashing neon sign pointing to him shouting "THIS IS THE VILLAIN RIGHT HERE".
I had to laugh at the main action scene. The couple is running from danger, bad guys shooting at them, but then they get outside and all of a sudden they're safe (as if the bad guys can't open doors or shoot out of windows).
Despite all this, I can see what the author was trying to do. The idea was ok, the execution was just flawed. With better character development and some quality editing, this could have been a decent read. I won't rule out checking out some of the authors future works.
