"Cynthia and Dan: Cyber War" by Dorothy May Mercer is an enthralling work of fiction that weaves together elements of suspense, romance, mystery, and intrigue. The narrative follows Cynthia, a dedicated investigator and bodyguard for Senator Mike McBride, as well as her brother Glenn and a group of skilled individuals. Cynthia's responsibilities include maintaining the secrecy of Senator Mike's political activities alongside her role as his secretary. The story kicks off with a mysterious drone landing at the White House, prompting Cynthia, Glenn, and a team of computer experts to launch an investigation into its origins.

As the plot unfolds, Cynthia finds herself torn between her growing feelings for the enigmatic Sky and her ongoing relationship with Sergeant Dan. The delicate balance between her emotions and commitments raises questions about the fate of her connection with Sergeant Dan. To uncover the full tale, readers are encouraged to delve into the pages of this captivating book.

The narrative excels at immersing readers in the journey of Cynthia, Glenn, and their tech-savvy allies as they combat a terrorist organization. The book masterfully blends suspense, romance, mystery, and criminal elements, offering an engaging experience from beginning to end. Cynthia's inner struggle to reconcile her feelings for two men adds an additional layer of intrigue and keeps readers eagerly flipping through the pages.

The narrative provides insightful information about cyber warfare and investigation techniques, contributing to the educational value of the book. A standout segment involves a discussion about birth control and contraception, offering readers a unique perspective. Mercer's meticulous research is evident in her clear explanations of medications and their uses, underscoring her strong writing skills.

While the narrative excels in many aspects, some readers might find Cynthia's impulsive actions with Sky unrealistic, given her high-stakes position. Additionally, the unresolved fate of Sergeant Dan, a key character, leaves a sense of incompleteness. These factors lead to a rating of "three out of four stars".

The author's creativity and skill shine throughout the book, and credit is due to the editor for delivering a well-polished manuscript. "Cynthia and Dan: Cyber War" is highly recommended to those who appreciate a blend of romance, mystery, and suspense. It promises an engaging and enlightening reading experience.

Rating - 4 out of 5 stars
