I gave this review the same title as I did the first in the series--this sequel is perfect, the logical (and sometimes frightening and heartbreaking) continuation of one of the great military romances you will encounter in this or any other year.In this installment, ex-SEAL Chief David Flint is recovering from his devastating leg wound in a North Korean raid while his 10-years-younger lover, Josh Walker, has taken over his command.  Flint is itchy, bitchy and twitchy when it comes to figuring out how to retire and how to rehabilitate, and it does no good that he has somehow found himself in the role of SEAL "wife," worried to hell each time Josh is deployed.This angst is underscored by the domestic situations he seems to have fallen into for which he is totally unprepared emotionally and by experience--especially when he is coerced into being practically a midwife as well as caretaker for the wife and children of a SEAL team member.This becomes near tragically untenable when Josh and the husband disappear when on a covert operation in Venezuela.  The scenes of this operation are vividly written, much in the way Witt conveyed the action in Korean in the first book in this series.  The resulting rescue of Josh and his comrades and Josh's conflicting recovery and his and David's heart wrenching journey to deep and lasting love will fill you with hope and, hopefully satisfaction, with the hugely surprising Epilogue.  Well done, Ms. Witt, bring us more like this!
