About this listen

Captain Sabine Fleischer is a skilled and dedicated US Army surgeon deployed to a combat hospital in Afghanistan. She is also one of the thousands of troops who are forced to serve in silence because of the military's anti-gay policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT)".

Usually driven and focused, Sabine finds that battles raging both inside and outside the perimeter walls are making it more and more difficult for her to deal with her emotions. Dealing with loss and mortality, lack of privacy, sleep deprivation, loneliness, and the isolation forced on her by Don't Ask, Don't Tell are all taking their toll. Plus, her long-term relationship with a civilian back home is quickly becoming another casualty of war.

Colonel Rebecca Keane is an enigmatic career officer who runs the surgical unit like clockwork. Well-liked and respected by those who work with and under her, she walks a fine line to preserve the military's chain of command while connecting with those under her care and supervision. Sabine knows the colonel is way off-limits but can't help fantasizing about her. Especially when she starts picking up unspoken cues - a stolen glance, a secret smile, an "accidental" brush of hands. Or is it just wishful thinking? After all, Rebecca's wedding ring shines almost as brightly as her deep blue eyes....

Beautiful love story

This is one of my favourite E. J. Noyes books and the transition to an audio version did not disappoint. Abby Craden’s interpretation of characters was spot on and only enhanced my enjoyment. All characters are well developed and believable with unexpected humour bubbling through the story. The slow burn of the main relationship, and growing attraction despite the DADT policy, makes this a beautifully paced read.

Great story. Fabulous narration.

So going I thought it would be about politics and love and so on. And it is about that but more about medical M.A.S.H without the comedy. As love stories go not the most amazing but it is well performed and written well enough to be believable. I really liked it.

Not what I expected

Amazing

This book was so well written, really takes you into the honest days work of military life, with long days, good natured banter, rec fun and the harsh realities of being an army surgeon. I can’t imagine how hard it must have been for those dealing with the DADT, and prior days, as we can’t help who we love.
Narrator did a fantastic job with distinct voices for characters,easy switch between male & female characters (loved her male voice for Mitch - so much swagger!), and all full of emotion to take you on the highs and lows. Would definitely recommend

More than expected

This is the first audiobook I ever listen to and it ruined all other audiobooks. In the best way possible. Just the right amounts of lust, love, sex and character development makes for a great story. All topped of with Abby Craden's sexy smooth voice, she differentiates characters well. Actual story with descriptive medical procedures, you can imagine what life might be like. Must read and Ask Me Again after this. "If The Shoe Fits" I didn't love. Get this book!

Abby Craden is next level
