“We don’t have a future, Natalya. I’m not going to marry you and take you back to the States, so either sex is okay or it’s not. Your choice.”6% into Camouflaged I had to say to myself, “Well, hot da*n!” This guy Gabe sure does not bite his tongue. I had to applaud his honesty, but boyI felt sorry for Natalya who was living in subpar conditions and really thought that this American soldier would take her away from her native land, Afghanistan.Enter Alexis. She is a young woman that works with the United Nations. She is head strong and quite a match for Gabe. She doesn’t fall for all of his cheesy pick-up lines but the chemistry between them is undeniable.“Secondly, I’m a soldier. We get ourselves killed to save other people every single day. It’s my job. I’ve been putting myself at risk to protect your for three years now. You just weren’t around to see it.”On a personal level, this line written by Selena Laurence really struck a chord with me. Maybe, it’s because I am an Army wife but sometimes we (including myself) forget about the daily sacrifices our military personnel make in the quest for our safety and security. Sidebar over and back to the book! By the title being Camouflaged it is obvious that this book is about the military but the real camouflage is what we as human beings do to conceal who we truly are. We are all trying to hide something and/or are too afraid to reveal our true selves but if we are lucky enough along this ride that is called life, we will find someone that will see through it all. Do yourself a favor and take a few hours to read about Gabe and Alexis and see what’s underneath their camouflage!!!MY RATING: 4.5
