Alzheimer\u2019s Cure<\/em> opens in a backdrop of wealth, featuring yachts and private jets. This is the Lassiter family. Jacky and Bill Lassiter are the owners of Morgan Pharma, an international pharmaceutical empire, and the parents of Lucy Lassiter, a sirenic socialite.<\/p>\n

Unbeknownst to Lucy, Morgan Pharma was recently hacked and their research regarding an Alzheimer\u2019s Cure was stolen.<\/p>\n

Enter Oliver Corbyn, who first appears as a simple Morgan Pharma employee. However, his real job is soon exposed; he\u2019s actually hired to infiltrate the Russian pharmaceutical company, Ruspharma, that stole the research and ensure they cannot replicate Morgan Pharma\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

To do so, he proposes to fake date Lucy and apply for a well-paying job at Ruspharma under the guise of wanting to sustain Lucy\u2019s extravagant lifestyle. Oliver is smart, handsome, and intuitive, deeply interested in Lucy despite the conflict of interest. What once began as a fraudulent relationship is soon painted over with real, intense feelings. They truly love each other, but can their relationship survive the rigorous demands of CIA assignments?<\/p>\n

While Alzheimer\u2019s Cure<\/em> delivers striking action true to the genre, it also allows the romance to have a moment to shine. Lucy and Oliver\u2019s relationship is given space to develop through their chemistry-filled conversations. Oliver\u2019s emotionally intelligent and generous personality does a good job of filling the void in Lucy\u2019s life. Their romance adds softness to the plot\u2019s scale, equalizing the weight of the action and thriller elements.<\/p>\n

Oliver and Lucy undergo significant personal growth through the course of their relationship, and that evolution becomes the thread that ties the plot together. Lucy, once drawn to the ease of the socialite world, learns to embrace what else life has to offer; Oliver, who never imagined falling for a wealthy heiress, finds himself questioning his loyalty to his work or to Lucy.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s Cure<\/em> is a fast read filled with dialogue. The conversations range from heartfelt introspections to witty banter, allowing the characters to express and characterize themselves. We read into the dialogue without the extra exposition, and it makes for a creative, enjoyable reading experience. Like when, early on, Oliver makes a comment about Lucy\u2019s dating life. We aren\u2019t told he\u2019s sharp, disarmingly honest, and charismatic. We\u2019re shown it. Dialogue like this quickly establish the emotional ping pong between the two characters too. The dialogue does so much. Sometimes it can come off a bit stilted though, like the CIA briefings which diverge into encyclopedic tidbits about Russia.<\/p>\n

The crowning jewel is Oliver\u2019s quick thinking and plan making. This is a difficult operation he\u2019s on and the stakes are high, but what helps most is that the mission itself is inherently so interesting. Action adventure readers will love Alzheimer\u2019s Cure<\/em>.<\/p>\n
