What Were You Expecting?

It's been many years since I re-read this novella. I remember liking it, but not really loving it, the first time around. I have to say that's still the way I feel. Though I enjoyed quite a bit of it, I didn't absolutely adore it. One of my biggest problems was the inconsistent way Sarah acted. she was supposedly a bodyguard, one of the best in security, but she often deferred to Damon, the man she was supposed to be protecting. Similarly, Damon knew he needed protection but refused to accept it from Sarah, because she was a woman. Otherwise I did enjoy their relationship. They worked well together outside of their professions. I liked that both Damon and Sarah really cared about the other, wanting them to be happy and needing to be near one another. The suspense plot was just ok. Considering the page count, I suppose I can't complain too much, but I would have liked to see things explored a bit more on that end.
