Gina is super smart. She's used those smarts to make her brother's life aboard a sub safer. She also seems to have issues in relationships. With this latest break-up, she heads to Bangor to visit with her brother and work on some top secret ideas for the Navy. While she's there, she ends up with two men liking her. She's stuck in the middle and has to figure out what God has planned for her.
Mark is older Gina and passes on the chance to date her. He's been married before and thinks it's time to find a new wife. As he spends more time with Gina on her projects, he is intrigued by the layers she has and he becomes interested. The problem for him is that he approved the man she's currently seeing. He's getting ready to go out on patrol for 90 days, so what does he do about Gina?
I did enjoy this book, but I admit that I didn't really like Mark for part of the book. He passed on the chance to date Gina, but then he makes his feelings clear to her while she's dating a man named Daniel. The men have an agreement to just go with it and see who she picks, which I thought was a bit weird. I was a fan of Daniel at that point, since he had the prior claim and was the bigger man in my eyes. Then, towards the end, Mark was pretty pushy.
Other than those issues, I really did like the book. The characters were well-developed and the descriptions of what was going on vivid. One word of warning: if you have absolutely no interest in the workings of a sub or how their protocol works, you might be overwhelmed with all the descriptions. There's a lot in there.
This book is tied to Unspoken slightly. Mark is the brother of the hero in that first book. I can't find a place where it has a series name or anything, but I wouldn't be shocked to see another one come out about Mark and Bryce's brother, Jim. The interactions involving Bryce are not enough that you'd have to read them in order. Good Book!
