Marine sniper Eli walked away a year ago
when long-time lover Dr. Rick McConnell pushed too hard about coming out after
the demise of Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell. They haven’t spoken since. Now Eli is home
on leave; Rick has thrown off the silence of the last twelve months and is
there at the airport to meet Eli, much to his chagrin. The last thing Eli wants
is to spoil his few days off being dogged by Rick, but Rick is persistent.
Eli has his reasons for not coming out, and
those reasons have nothing to do with DA/DT or with Rick. As Rick wiggles his
way back into Eli’s life, Eli suggests they need to talk, and makes
reservations at the cabin where they’d argued a year ago—this time, they’ll
either work it out or break it off.
The author’s writing style is very
straightforward—not a remarkable voice, but strong writing. The plot moves
along well. The two heroes are not as three-dimensional as I like in a story,
but they play off each other. The secondary characters primarily provide a
dialogue foil for the mechanism of the plot. There isn’t much doubt about a
happy ending in this tried-and-true structure.
This is an objective review and
not an endorsement of this book.
