Review: It's only okay .........
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 21, 2013
The lead man (Neil Phillips) is in the Navy SEALS with many life issues to deal with, PTSD being only one of them. He chances upon Maggie Sampson on a beach, swims out in the deeps for her tossed-away engagement ring (sure!) and takes the romance from there. The story is really okay in quite a few ways but the author had quite a few chapters written from the point-of-view of male and then female (the leads) and that occasionaly made me check just who was who. Also, it's written with a sarcastic flair - Neil's POV had lots of swears/down-to-earth language and Maggie's was often flip with self-deprecating humor - and I don't always go for that style of writing. As the story progresses Neill's marriage is falling apart, but he has to be away often on a mission. Maggie just happens to get the job as nanny for his two boys, who she grows fond of. (Amazing how these coincidences occur.) When he's back, Neil is totally good with his sons and when something dangerous happens to them, all hell breaks loose. As I write this review, I'm seeing how the book wasn't exactly a great one, but had enough of interest for the rating I gave it, I guess.
