Review by: Paul Zimmerli on Jan. 19, 2012 : star star star star
I agree with aussiematt... This is the core of two fine novels that need fleshing out. As a service retiree, I agree the rank is too low for the actions the heroine supposedly takes, but military fiction writers often under-grade their protagonists like this because they don't understand the levels of authority each rank carries or lacks. Overall, however, I've enjoyed it. At least the author knows what a spell-check button is for, unlike most Smashwords authors, unfortunately... She has a good writing style that, as a retired journalist, I fully appreciate. Please take a good look at this book, break it into a novel about Commander Mollie Sanders and one about Captain Mollie Sanders, and flesh them out with a little more detail and verbosity... You've got a couple of money-earners here if you do it right. Oh - and get a reviewer who's a retired naval officer to take a look at them and make suggestions...

Review by: aussiematt on Nov. 23, 2011 : star star star
The two stories (while sharing a time line they are in effect two books) are rather drawn out, yet sketchy in parts. The plots are fine and with some revisiting, rewriting and I suspect more attention to what naval ranks can do (Lt Commander is a low rank) more consistency in what characters are called (too often characters are giving different names) and fixing up the jumps between possibly overly descriptive and bits (like the part on the pier where they were there - event- then suddenly in the car) that miss connective flows (a good editor will help greatly) will make two good books
