review 1: Well I was halfway through my review when goodreads stopped running and lost all my work as usual. So infuriating. They have the world's stupidest IT team of they can't even run an app properly!!I put off reading this book bc I typically don't like books with couples who are already established but I was pleasantly surprised by how this book actually turned out. My first issue with this book was Miko's broken English. Why does his English have to be so broken? He can still be very culturally Japanese without speaking almost no English. It just seemed to make him come off a little weak or less capable than he actually was. It's not as of he had only been there a few months. He's been in the states for a number of years. My other issue with the book was the level of... more drama! The villain in the story was SO over the top! ! It was such soap opera melodrama that it made me lose interest a little. It was quite unbelievable. It could have been brought down by abt 10 notches and still been over the top but not as Days Of Our Lives. But I wish that There was more focus on Harley and Miko and their relationship. But all the drama did provide a new feeling of Love to their relationship. I'm hoping that Stormy Glenn will be releasing another 2 books from this series soon and in closer succession. That's the one thing abt stormy is she series jumps like crazy and it may be a year or more before we get another installment of the series! !!
review 2: The good? It was slightly better than the last two in the series. The bad? It was still entirely ludicrous.I took notes while reading this but I think I’ll scrap them all because, in the end, who cares about the logical fallacies or the really weak setup?Just a few small remarks.I wasn’t looking forward to this premise of a soldier returning home to his estranged husband after his presumed death. And yet it was what actually worked in the story’s favour. For a little while what we’re looking at is actually the classic story of the soldier returning after the war, feeling useless without a war to fight and unneeded at home since his family was doing fine without him. Solid material.Of course to offset that we get… I hesitate to even say it. “Harley-chan! Aishiteru! Itsumo aishiteru?”Yeah. Oh god, I am getting “small Asian men” flashbacks from Lynn Hagen’s books. Doesn’t help that Miko here seems very slow on the uptake; he has a childlike quality. OMG, the Lynn Hagen flashbacks are hitting me really badly now.Yeah, that was… special. After a while I got used to it. Just one more thing to roll my eyes at and ignore.The sexual relationship between Harley and Miko I found a little strange. I am not sure if it was bowing to some cliché of Japanese reticence or following up on Miko’s childishness. On the bright side it resulted in sex scenes that were not interchangeable with the usual fare.So yeah. I shake my head, but I’m smiling. Because at least I did not want everyone to be killed by the cardboard villains this time around. less
