Navy Woman (The Navy Series #4) (Silhouette Special Edition, No 683) [Paperback]

Debbie Macomber (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 25, 1991

The return of a poignant classic in New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber's NAVY series!

Busy attorney Catherine Fredrickson loved her job at a submarine base in Washington, but her new boss, Royce Nyland, had her spirits sinking fast. The icy widower was distant, demanding . . .and incredibly attractive. And though he kept her at arm's length, he aroused a stormy passion in Catherine that was impossible to deny.

Already struggling to keep afloat while caring for his energetic daughter, Royce didn't need any more distractions -- especially not in the form of an appealing woman! Though the laws of the sea deemed naval fraternizing strictly taboo, how long could Royce resist romance when just the sight of Catherine capsized his vulnerable heart?

4.0 out of 5 stars Navy Woman, May 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Navy Woman (The Navy Series #4) (Silhouette Special Edition, No 683) (Paperback)

Royce Nyland is a single father who only shows his soft side to his daughter. At work he is just the icy Commander to his staff. That is until Catherine Fredrickson breaks through his icy wall. She becomes very important to him but they have a lot of problems to work out. Most imporatantly the fact that he wants her to quit the Navy and she refuses. Somehow, they will muddle through. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy romance novels.

This review is from: Navy Woman (The Navy Series #4) (Silhouette Special Edition, No 683) (Mass Market Paperback)

I read all of the books in Macomber's "Navy" series and this was my favorite. I liked mostly the fact that for once both of the main characters were in the Navy, not just the male lead. Catherine is a great character, she is successful in the Navy JAGC and even though she hates Royce at first, she falls in love with him and his daughter. This book you will not want to put down, right to the happy ending.

This review is from: Navy Woman (The Navy Series #4) (Silhouette Special Edition, No 683) (Mass Market Paperback)

Debbie Macomber has a wonderful style of writing that draws the reader right into the setting, so that it feels like the characters are friends and colleagues and we are living and working alongside of. What I appreciated most about this book was that it was so romantic. The two protagonsits were forbidden to be involved with each other because of the Navy's rules against officers fraternizing with their subordinates. Catherine and Royce couldn't express their growing feelings outwardly, so they communicated wordlessly through their eyes and gestures. It was slowly tantillizing, transcending the physical, and was far deeper than merely sexual. Wow! I also appreciated how the welfare of 10 year old Kelly, and both Royce's and Catherine's relationship with her, were a priority over the romance.
