L. A. Witt is normally one of my favorite authors. Not this time.Unlike her other work, this one was almost staggeringly dull. The usual sex scenes (though uninspired and a lot less than hot here) interrupted, primarily, by endlessly detailed travelogues. We get it, Ms. Witt, you know Okinawa. But really, endless chapters on the goods in the shopping districts, visits to all kinds of temples and memorials, and even two surprisingly dull snorkeling outings that were little more than a list of the fish and other sea creatures encountered.I read the whole book, because I was hoping for something dramatic, or surprising, or exciting, but was left with nothing even interesting.Let's face it, a book about gays in the military used to be dramatic until DADT was repealed. This book's only conflict was that one of the MCs was an officer, and one an enlisted man, both risking their 20-year-pensions by being together, despite the fact that both had failed their children miserably, by being absentee parents for years-on-end all over the world, courtesy of the Navy.Pardon the pun, but this one just didn't float my boat...
