The book is a thrilling-fast-paced-story in every word of it but the epilogue. Since you open the book you won't be able to close it till you finish it. It has some parts that you'll know what'll happen and you won't make some of Adam's blunders but still is a good reading.

Tired of desk duty, FBI agent Adam Duval takes an assignment deep undercover to infiltrate a family of militia by getting close to the youngest son. He doesn't count on being left to linger in prison, and soon talks quarry Lyle McEdwin into joining him in a prison break. Ever the hot head, Lyle gets into a shoot out with an off duty cop, and is injured. Breaking into an intercity clinic, Adam forces Dr. Renata Curtis to tend to Lyle's wounds, then soon kidnaps her to keep Lyle alive while they travel to the lair of the McEdwin family, who appear to have something coming up on the horizon. Renata finds herself full of self-doubts as she tries to resist her attraction to convict Adam, not realizing his true identity. Yet another home run for Bach - it has it all, romance, intrigue, suspense, and plenty of tension. And with a surprise ending to boot! Definitely recommend checking this one out - you won't be sorry!

Pure Dynamite is an enjoyable romantic suspense novel. There's steamy, suspenseful, and interesting things happening throughout the book. While I don't think it's the worst book by any means, it's certainly not the best either. How someone who has a 'movie star' face does undercover work is beyond me, but it is fiction and it is a romance so I can get over that. For the most part I didn't feel any connection with the characters and I felt they weren't as well-drawn out as they could have been. I liked it well enough so I didn't mind that so much, because the action made up for it. The epilogue let me down though, it seemed out-of-character, a little silly and unbelieveable, and way too abrupt. While I don't think it warrants all the five stars, that is those people's opinions, and mine is that it's a little above average. Still there's other romantic suspense I've enjoyed more, but it's a fine little read if you don't expect too much.
