Reviews

[Carl H Spitzer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Even at this current time what happened in Vietnam is in huge dispute. In this wonderful romance book it is sons and daughters trying to understand the men who came home from the war, especially the ones who do not talk about it. Nick is estranged from his Vietnam Veteran father, and served in a recent military conflict. Cara thinks she knows her Vietnam Veteran father very well, until Nick shows up after his recent death asking very uncomfortable questions about what their fathers might been involved in that has someone thirty five years later causing their 'accidental ' deaths. Nick and Cara are ready for romance, though they would deny it. And they have a wonderful romance. Enough mystery, action, information, and other interesting characters to keep the story moving. I served in the US Navy off the coast of Vietnam. Over time the 'Rules of Engagement' in war do change and sometimes it is hard to know what is the right thing. There are some things almost all people are in agreement are wrong, and unfortunately some of them get 'covered up'.

Definite suspense as Cara and Nick race to identify and find the other members of their fathers' Viet Nam unit before they are killed, too. It is difficult to know who to trust. Sometimes Nick seemed willing to trust just about anybody. On the whole, I enjoyed the book but wasn't sold on it.
