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 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.

An amazing book that made me fall in love with EJ Noyes' writing, made even better being read by Abby Craden. I read this years ago when it first came out and it was just as great a 2nd time around.

The Jae and Abby Craden experience has the best chemistry compounds! The perfect pair. Loved this book and the characters. This will definitely be in my reread/relisten pile. I just finished it but could honestly restart it now.

The same ex-girlfriend who last year at Christmas had lured her into bed. Abby’s solution? A pretend girlfriend for the holidays would surely keep her ex away and in her own room at night, right?

Great narration and different story
Reviewed: 11-10-21
I enjoyed this one. The story was a little different than the normal formula so that was nice. I loved the characters and the flow of their relationship. Seemed plausible to me the whole way through. Lori was great and I don't know if it's just this book or if I just never noticed it before but Lori sounded a lot like Maggie Gyllenhaal. loved the overall package!

This is the first time I've listened to this narrator and the whole time I listened I just kept thinking it would have been perfect read by the author herself. (just like in Starting From Scratch) She would have been perfect! The story was cute and pretty predictable but I still enjoyed it.

She loves poring over old notes, hunting down long-forgotten witnesses, and digging down through the layers of an unsolved murder case. But this time, Marty is digging where someone obviously doesn't want her. And that someone might also include the Brownsville Police Department. Why else would they assign Detective Kristen Bailey to baby-sit her? Barely surviving two attempts on her life, Marty abandons Brownsville and the case. Danger follows her as the case turns red-hot.
