I'm not particular with how I want my book to end as long as it's not a cliffhanger so I think this would be a perfect fit for me. I cannot wait to meet Sam. I feel so much admiration for her already.

I agree I would have liked a slightly altered ending given how much I love romance and HEAs, but I thought it made sense too given the military's strict rules.

Those douches in her life needed to be smacked repeatedly in the face. <br />I agree about the ending. It's my least favorite part.

Military background kids make for really great protagonists and seeing as it's a girl in this, I'll be keeping an eye out for sure, as it sounds very intriguing.

I like that Sam seems to be a persistent one with a never back down mentality. I feel that characters like that always show good character development as a story progresses. And the fact that there's a nice romance in it too is a plus!

I realize that most every story can probably continue in another direction with the other the same characters, but seriously - stop the open endings!
