Wow. I am not personally involved with the armed forces. My dh is not involved with the armed forces. I cannot imagine how terribly moving this book would be for someone who is personally involved with a soldier.
Despite my lack of prior knowledge, I was instantly drawn into this plot line. I loved the h's outlook on this situation, and cheered her on most of the book. I must admit, however, I became VERY frustrated with her in Chapter 13. Had she been a friend of mine I would have shook some sense into her!

Ugh! Does that mean
I'm going to want to shake some sense into her too? I think I'm going through a "thing" with heroines. I read a Blaze last night that I got aggravated at the heroine also, but this one was going through a process that she HAD to go through.

Hmmmm....
I don't know. Shannyn and Maggie aren't alike in a lot of ways. Maggie has some serious stuff to overcome though. I think that as you get close to the black moment, you're going to know the decision you want her to make, but I hope I've built her in such a way that the decision she makes is understandable. I think in some ways she's the strongest heroine I've written.
Nate is quite delicious, I think. He doesn't try to be charming. He just IS.
