Hurray!!!! Finally an Asian Heroine,
By
This review is from: Midway Between You and Me: In Uniform (Harlequin Superromance No. 1070) (Paperback)
This has to be one of the best finds of the year. The story is fresh and her use of flashbacks was deftly done, adding much to the story. The plot has an on-the-edge-of-your-seat sense of suspense but she doesn't plant any red herrings and certainly offers up a chance for the reader to figure it out but even when they do the story only gets better. Her hero rivals any of those found in a Suzanne Brockman book, but he has his own sense of honor and dedication. That he isn't a SEAL but a SEABEE makes him all the more loveable to the reader and those who have read her first one will enjoy revisting some friends. That Ms Brewer chose to set almost the entire book outside the US added much to the appeal. Nor did she sell out to the current trend in military terroism stories. The Vietnam element was an especially fresh touch and one I would like to see more of in military romances. She incorporates a number of well planned twists and turns which drive the reader on. Though the ending is quite predictable, it is after all romance, she provides the reader with a romantic story to the very last page. The only draw back, mind you not something the author had anything to do with, is the cover. The cover art was so far off base it was a joke ... the hero has both enlisted ranking (chevrons on the shoulders) and LT bars on his shirt. OPPS!!!! Harlequin and Silhouette have had growing trouble getting some of their military covers right: no enlisted men in the Navy don't wear khaki (except Chiefs, though this man is clearly a second class petty officer) nor do officers wear khaki socks. It is frustrating to see an author create such an unique story only to have a publisher take so little care with its presentation. Not very professional nor does it support their cry it is the cost of cover art that is driving up the cover prices. Seems they surely aren't getting their money's worth. Here's hoping Ms Brewer's next book is able to break out of the catagory realm into single title where her talent for creating uniquely compelling books with characters/plots deserving of professional presentation. But that criticism aside, the story is bound to find its way to many a keeper shelf, I know for me it is right there along side Ms Brewer's SEAL IT WITH A KISS and SIGN, SEAL, DELIVER. Ms Brewer is a rising star to watch in this growing field of military romances. Few do it better!!!

Passionate, emotional! Loved it!,
By Jen S. (Chula Vista, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Midway Between You and Me: In Uniform (Harlequin Superromance No. 1070) (Paperback)
This was the first romance novel i ever read and it just drew me into the genre! It reminded me of that east meets west, Miss Saigon, theme but with a happy ending. Good storyline. And i just love the military guys! Always respectful, honest, hardworking, generous, loyal, protective, all-around good guys. This was a love story worth reading about! Also, read the other Rogenna Brewer books. Her first two books are part of Bowie Prince's family. They are just as passionate and thrilling as this one.

Wonderful Characters, Beautifully Written Story,

This review is from: Midway Between You and Me: In Uniform (Harlequin Superromance No. 1070) (Paperback)
Professor Tam Nguyen, daughter of a North Vietnamese local and a Navy SEAL, is the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Game Warden on Midway where she meets SEABEE lieutenant Bowie Prince. There's instant attraction, but Tam will not let herself become involved with a serviceman as did her mother. Bowie, however, is as taken with Tam and is determined to get to know her better. When he ships out, she assumes she's seen the last of the man who has the power to capture her heart. Not so! The two meet in Hawaii, and information Tam got from Bowie starts her on a quest to discover who her father was and perhaps put an end to a 30-year search by her mother who cannot forget the "husband" who fathered her daughter.This story involves flashbacks to 1972 Vietnam, skillfully done; changes of venue that allow the reader to learn more about the conversion of the Midway Islands to a peacetime sanctuary, and the horror of human bondage in the opium smuggling trade, all told without losing the romance. But most of all it's a love story, beautifully told; a story that satisfies on a deep level. And yes, Tam finds her father! Don't miss this latest Men in Uniform offering from the talented Rogenna Brewer.
