The dream marine by Rachel Lee. 2.5 stars.
The end was too rushed, unrealistic and unnecessary.
I liked the story a lot up until after the sex scene.
Interesting characters.
The plot was charecter driven, with lots of dialogue between the MC's about heavy stuff: the war, PTSD, family, friends, back (if possible) to normal. So interesting. But just before the sex we met the . It didn't feel realistic.
I think it would have worked better with some kind of epilogue or something.
I'm going to try a full novel by this author. We'll see.
Undercover Operations by Merline Lovelace. 3 stars.
It was ok. I love short stories, but this time I wish it would have been a full novel. Because the MC´s were so interesting. The FMC was strong, capable and serious. I liked her from the start. The MMC was fun, deceptive (but in a good way), a bit crazy and loyal.
The plot was… well, was hardly there and nothing new. But (again) it could have been good.
But it was too rushed and we couldn´t enjoy the development of their relationship. I wanted more.
And… I liked the end. That twist was fun.

Undercover Operations por Merline Lovelace. 3 estrellas.
Ha estado bien. Me encantan las historias cortas, pero esta vez me hubiese gustado que fuera una novela completa. Porque los personajes eran muy interesantes. La prota era una mujer fuerte, capaz y seria. Me ha gustado desde el primer momento. El prota era divertido, engañoso (sin maldad), un poco loco y leal.
La trama ha sido… bueno, apenas había y no era nada nuevo. Pero (de nuevo) podría haber estado bien.
Pero ha sido todo muy precipitado y no hemos podido disfrutar viendo el desarrollo de la relación. Me he quedado con ganas de más.
Y… me ha gustado el final. Ese giro ha sido divertido.
The dream marine por Rachel Lee. 2.5 estrellas.
El final ha sido muy precipitado, poco realista e innecesario.
Me estaba encantando la historia justo hasta después de la escena de sexo.
Personajes muy interesantes que llevaba el peso de toda la trama. Con mucho diálogo sobre temas serios como la guerra, el síndrome de estrés postraumático, la familia, amistad, la vuelta (si fuese posible) a la normalidad. Muy interesante. Pero justo después del sexo nos encontrarnos con . Nada realista. Hubiese funcionado mejor bajo un epílogo o algo así.
Intentaré leer algo más de esta autora y a ver.

Review for The Dream Marine by Rachel Lee. For a short story it really was emotionally powerful. The characters were amazing and of course I Love Conard City! I loved it!

This was a set of 3 novellas all involving military and their loves. The first one made a giant leap in the plot from building to closure without the development between. The second was OK. The third was good, but had such gushing language that I was constantly distanced and/or skimming.

Great stories about military lives. This anthology was well worth reading.
