Review: Fine Enough
Rating: 3 out of 5

I purchased the book by accident, actually, and could not beleive how much I had paid for it (around $5). I really liked the description, and the other reviews were outstanding. I feel a little strange knowing that I am the only one that did not feel as though this book was a homerun, so I debated about writing this review. But after giving it some time, I still feel the same way.At every event, I felt as though the main female character was so naive and wishy washy. One minute she was strong and would fight tooth and nail, and the next minute she is doing something so cliched, and making women like me literally cringe at her actions!*spoiler alert*She doesn't want his..ehm...fluid to leave her, so she sticks a feminine product inside to keep it there?! Seriously?! And then she is shocked and amazed that she is pregnant almost immediately, after stunts like that and not allowing any pregancy protection to be used because she likes the feel of him? I have to say he was also naive on the same matter, but at least he felt as though he'd be okay with a baby. Also, the way he dismissed all her actions, such as completely lying to the military to find a way in to see him without getting angry.There were many times I expected the book to come to an end, but it just kept going and going and going. Seemingly for no good reason except to keep writing.The only thing I really enjoyed was the military bits of how detailed the process was of leaving the military, etc. But that does then make it hard to fathom the ways she was able to find the location and information about him in the first place.The love scenes, while overly abundant, were pretty well written. And I am glad that she had no qualms about loving a man with an amputated leg. Who would care about something like that (as far as it making him less of a man, pish-posh! Though I know some idiots out there probably do feel that way)?So, I am sorry that I did not follow the masses to give this author another perfect review, but I just could not do it! At either rate, I felt the book was overpriced, even if I really had liked it. Maybe I am just too cheap, when there are so many good ones you can get priced free-to-$1.99.
