Self
Defense
By Elaine
Hopper
Elaine
Hopper does a great job with this book. Self Defense introduces
the reader to Denise Correa, who works in a mall and seems to have
the worst luck with a stalker. She tries to take self-defense classes,
makes sure that security is always with her, and just tries not
to be alone unless absolutely necessary. As with most romances,
real-life and within books, Denise makes a fool out of herself when
she first meets the man that she eventually falls heads-over-heels
in love with.
The
opening of this book sucks the reader into the story and continues
to keep the reader intrigued. There is a great combination of romance
and mystery throughout the book and the romance is careful not to
overtake the suspense of the mystery involved. This is a quick read
and has a strong plot line. The characteristics of Denise and Hunter
are developed but not as well developed as characters in other novels.
They do hold their own in this book. The scenery of the book could
take place in any town in any well-developed nation.
