I loved this book, especially the too hot to handle love scenes, the search for identity, the authentic DNA research steps, and the lively, careful writing. It's one terrific novel by a DNA research journalist and family history observer. Great book, and the romance was terrific with those 14-page love scenes, as well as the fast-paced, gripping adventure, mystery and adventure/travel. This book is a real page-turner. I read it almost all night. Highly recommend The DNA Detectives, bringing those detectives back to work on cold cases with new DNA techniques. Marvelous. I'm sharing this book with my graduate students. It's terrific, the sizzle between the heroine and the hero, and it all takes place at a fictional DNA research center on a university campus. Wow. I also learned how DNA was tested without it ever distracting from the fast-paced, gripping story. This book is character-driven as well as plot driven, and the character's relationship drives the plot as well as the fast-paced facts unfolding with scientific accuracy. You won't be able to put this book down. What a refresher, DNA and genealogy....It grips you in reality, and yet is a novel.
