Come as You Are
December 2007
Amy J. Fetzer
Come As You Are is a fast-paced, action-packed adventure
into the political quagmire and the jungles of Venezuela.
Ms. Fetzer weaves a wonderfully complex tale that will have
you second guessing who the good guys really are until the
very end while keeping her characters jumping from the frying
pan and into the fire and keeping you turning the pages to
find out what’s going to happen next. Logan is a wonderfully
flawed character who will capture your interest from the
first page with his combination of vulnerability, Alpha-maleness
and take charge attitude. Tessa is a great heroine with her
steely spine and upbeat attitude that carries her through
some of the most difficult times a person can face. One of
the most interesting things about Come
As You Are is the
uncompromising view it takes on politicians and their clandestine
maneuverings and how small actions by a single person can
have far-reaching ripple effects and still deliver a nicely
wrapped HEA for Tessa and Logan. Pick up Come
As You Are for a truly magnetic read that will transport you to a world
where bullets fly, plots and counter-plots and romance rule
the day.
Action is the name of this game in this suspenseful plot.
Tessa knows how to find trouble and a lot of it finds her.
She finds herself right in the middle of a mess and that
leaves her the target of a madman. In sweeps Logan, our knight
in shinning armor, to save her and keep her from getting
killed. Logan is devoted to keeping her out of harms way
and she is determined to keep the flames between them at
bay. Amy J. Fetzer knows how to weave a tale of suspense
and adventure that will keep you coming back for more. COME
AS YOU ARE is just another fantastic read in a long line
of her terrific books.
Come as You Are is one of those books that you cannot put
down until you have read the last page! I stayed up late
flipping pages myself. Tessa is just the sort of heroine
we all wish we could be, she kicks butt with the best of
them. I really loved the fact that Logan and Tessa have such
big hearts and while they did not always agree with their
government and what it did, they were willing to step up
to the plate in order to save lives. They were able to see
the big picture, and the author did an excellent job of portraying
this. The action scenes in this story are excellent and clearly
well researched. Of course the very romantic happily-ever-after
was a real tear jerker which made this book that much more
enjoyable. Come as You Are is a book that is well worth having
in your library!

Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance
I'm sure if you are the least bit interested in spy novels,
Amy J. Fetzer is one of your favorite authors. The way
she handles international affairs, our country's reputation,
and intertwines them with constant action is her trademark.
People are never who they appear to be, and almost everyone
is hiding some kind of secret. Deftly handling different
story lines, accentuating each one just long enough to
weave it in with the others shows her expertise in managing
each aspect of her novels.
If political shenanigans, international affairs, and secret
agents are your secret vice (like mine) then COME AS YOU
ARE by the premier writer of espionage books is just up your
alley this month. Along with the other two books of the Dragon
One series: Naked Truth (August 2005) and HIT HARD (June
2006) you will enter the underbelly of spies, government,
and living on the edge of survival. So, draw the blinds,
huddle under the covers, and make sure your phone isn't tapped
while you enjoy a hair raising, spine tingling book.
