Review: Heroine rubbed me the wrong way
Rating: 2 out of 5

The writing was fine. I didn't notice any glaring typos or editing issues. I would read another book by this author. This book would have been three stars but  I just couldn't get past the heroine.  Since half the book is her POV, we spend lots of time with someone I didn't care for in the least. She had a bad marriage and did not enjoy military life so she vows to never love/marry another soldier. Which is of course a reasonable choice if you don't like having to move, make new friends and have a husband that is in a dangerous job. Then we spend the next 90% of the book with her being wish washy and pushing the hero away because he is a Marine. She also makes bad decisions primarily because she wants to be strong and independent. Going out alone on foot when bad guys are after you makes you a target. It doesn't make you strong. Nick was a great hero but towards the end I kept feeling he would be better off without her. The epilogue was cute but by that point I couldn't bring myself to care.
