review 1: This is the story of Sienna and Nick. Nick is her dead husband's best friend although they haven't actually been that close over the past few years. Nick wants Sienna, Sienna wants Nick but she doesn't know if she can 'just' be a wife any more, especially an army wife. Nick however knows what he wants and isn't prepared to back down from a challenge.On the whole this was an enjoyable story that kept me reading. It's not one of the best that I've read but it definitely wasn't one of the worst. One of the things for me is that Sienna is quite a whingy character. Now I'm not saying she doesn't have the right, she really did have a scumbag of a husband but you see, my thing is, she is the one that made the choice to stay with him for all that time. Yes, I know she was leaving ... morehim when he died and it took his hands around his throat for her to do that but still... she knew he was cheating, it was a loveless marriage, yada yada yada and she STILL stayed. Nick deserves a medal, not for being a marine, but for keeping his mouth shut in such a situation.Not Another Soldier is a relatively well written and fast paced novel. The characters are all well rounded whether you like them or not. For me, it was a bit like a Chinese meal - satisfying at the time but hungry half an hour later.
review 2: I really enjoyed this story. This is told in two points of view- Nick and Sienna. Sienna is a really remarkable, strong woman. This story starts when her husband Rob dies. Her heads a mess when the secrets of her husbands life comes out. Nick is a totally brilliant soldier. He's been in love with Sienna for years. The author did a fantastic job in showing the raw love that Nick has for Sienna. I'm not going to say much more as I don't want to spoil it for anyone. I've not read anything by this author before but I'll certainly be changing that. This story has a great storyline with two brilliant main characters. A must read. less

I'm still not sure how to rate this. I really like the characters and the steamy scenes.
