A networking friend who used to collect books to mail to the troops gave me this book in a box of books she couldn't use. I wasn't familiar with the author and decided to give her a try. I gave it my requisite 3 chapters but DNF.

I suppose there is a time in most girls's life where they want to attract the attention of a man and go about it in ways that are overt and somewhat embarrassing to see/read about. (Turning every discussion to the topic of sex for example, as is done here.) It got old quickly for me. ( )

Good story, not great, including hero and heroine being part of a coup of a small country to help the previous president win his country back. I thought some of the dialogue was a little odd, kind of old-fashioned, i.e. they used words like "neat" and "keen". Maybe that's a trait of the author's writing--it didn't seem to fit with the characters in this story. I didn't check to see the original publication date, perhaps it is an older story and was more fitting when it was written. Refreshing that the hero was a seasoned soldier and years older than the 19-year-old heroine, but they were both virgins when they married each other. ( )
