A New York Times Bestseller

Despite her ex-husband's bullheadedness, Carol Kyle knew he'd be the perfect man to father the child she so desperately wanted. Yet she also realized that the strong, honorable man would never allow his child to be raised without a father. So Carol needed to plot, to plan, to maneuver, to seduce Steve into her bed for one last time . . . and then leave once more. Still, the passion when they were together was never the problem -- it was the absences that tore them apart. Had they grown enough to chance trying again -- especially when Carol's plan seemed about to work?

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time., October 19, 2005

This book was horrible. I wish I could give it 0 stars.

First of all, the main character is immature, irresponsible and completely unlovable. If youre like me and cant get past the idea of a grown woman doing something so selfish and irresponsible as to try to use her unsuspecting exhusband as a sperm donor, youre probably going to spend the entire book wishing that this woman would get hit by a car.

The panty-waste exhusband is almost as unlikeable as she is. He spend the entire book being suspicious but unwilling to end the relationship. They break up and get back together a few times during the book, and the whole time I just wanted someone in that relationship to take a hint.

If you are in the Navy or have a loved one that is, you may be tempted to read it just because of the catchy little Navy theme and the pretty picture in front. This book has absolutely nothing to do with Navy life except for the fact that the ex is serving. He goes on one deployment that barely fits into the plot.

I spent the entire book thinking... This cant be all there is... This must be about to get really good. It never did.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pathetic!, December 29, 2005

This review is from: Navy Blues (The Navy Series #2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I agree with the reviewer above who wanted to give this book zero stars. Since I bought this book online and paid international shipping to get it I was about to cry with frustration after just reading the first 30 pages. The plot - whatever there is of it - drags, the writing is stilted and unnatural. The title has absolutely nothing to do with the story. In short - save your money!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not the best in the series, July 5, 2004

This review is from: Navy Blues (The Navy Series #2) (Mass Market Paperback)

To me the whole idea of Steve and Carol getting back together for the sole purpose of her getting pregnant just seemed crazy, but this book was still a fun and quick read.
