This is a great view into the life of navy soldiers. Especially before there were cell phones or emails. This was definitely a book that I had to read as much as I could. Being on a ship with a saboteur is not a good thing. There is no where to go. Add in a war, and a new relationship, and I could not stop reading. I liked the ending and I really liked the ups and downs in this story. I can not wait to read the next book in the series. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
Thanks for the lovely review! I'm glad you enjoyed Jim & Mary's story!
