As a fan of romantic suspense, I was eager to read <em>Never Miss<\/em>. I was not disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Although both the hero and heroine were almost too good to be true, this novel is fiction after all so I ignored their perfection and enjoyed every minute of their story. Between Lyndon\u2019s photographic memory and Kadance\u2019s skills as a sniper and navigational talent, not to mention that both were excellent problem solvers, the pair of them were a nearly superhero level team.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I should have known to expect more plots involving viruses and biological warfare due to our all too real pandemic but this is the second novel this month. At this point I\u2019d prefer my recreational reading to focus on another subject but nevertheless I did enjoy <em>Never Miss<\/em>. The pacing was excellent as was character development. I particularly liked Lyndon\u2019s handsome nerd persona.<\/p>\n<p>The requisite action, danger, suspense, and romance were present and the story contained a good balance of dialogue and action. The author also managed to keep me on my toes with several surprises and plot twists. I will definitely be on the lookout for more books by Melissa Koslin. Suspense lovers might want to check her out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18375 aligncenter size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"317\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2.png 317w, https:\/\/www.daysongreflections.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/divider2-150x28.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book provided by Revell, a division of Baker Publishing Group.
