Dear Reader, I love going back to my USAF roots. I also got to ride along with the book’s heroine as her life took some wild, roller-coaster dips and turns.

Dear Reader, I love going back to my USAF roots. In Ex Marks the Spot, I revisited one of the bases in the northwest Florida panhandle where I rubbed elbows with tough, macho Special Ops types and dodged alligators on the golf course. Like her, I discovered there really is life after the Air Force. And what a life it is!

Dear Mrs Lovelace, I’ve read and heard on numerous occasions that there is at least a 50% divorce rate for Special Forces marriages. Which is why I’ve always looked at these SEAL, Green Beret, Delta force, Whatever romances with a degree of skepticism. Little did she know–"at least until that auspicious knock on her next-door neighbor’s door–"that there were some things about her old life she wasn’t quite finished with yet. And evidently, if the expression on his love-struck face was any indication, her ex-husband, Colonel Dave Armstrong–"aka said next-door neighbor–"wasn’t quite finished with her yet either. Hmm. Who was it who said the best is yet to come?

great book

Hidden Winter

I enjoy stories about married couples who make it through, who rediscover love, and/or who sacrifice something for the other. In this case, both of the characters get to the point where they’re ready to sacrifice their job/career.

However, this story had some big gaps. Andi has an infection she picked up in Iraq. Since I write medical drama, that detail fascinated me. I wanted to see how having a potentially deadly illness impacted her life. If it was bad enough she had to retire from the military… but that was apparently it. It doesn’t impact anything else she does. Even the one event (spoiler: she faints) that could have been high drama was not because of the infection but because her otherwise smart character did a totally bonehead thing.

What exactly was so special about Dave? Andi ‘shares’ some memories of their marriage, most of which seem to be of the physical variety. But all we really know about him is that he’s strong, good-looking and a little overprotective of Andi. I just couldn’t get into their relationship when I couldn’t get into him.

Even when Andi sees Dave for the first time in four years and he lays a big old kiss on her, she doesn’t have much of a reaction. Not even indignation. It was an odd start. Then we don’t see or hear from Dave until five chapters later. In between that we see Andi starting to plan her bookstore and frankly, that got kind of boring.

In sum, a satisfying ending but just not enough ‘meat’ for me.

Following a wound suffered while on duty in Iraq, USAF Colonel Andrea "Andi" Armstrong accepts medical retirement as an infection setsin. Not even forty, Andi decides to move to a location where many veterans reside, the Florida Panhandle.

However, to her chagrin the rental she leases is next door to the home of Colonel Dave Armstrong, her former husband. Living near him would be difficult except for one problem, Andi is still attracted to her ex spouse. Dave is ecstatic as he feels he has a second chance to make it with the woman he never stopped loving.

The second chance at love is well written, but it is the look at military life during and after serving that make the tale special. The engrossing story line focuses on the themes of the impact of a married couple both being in the military hurting their relationship and on the impact of retirement at a relatively young age (twenty and double pass means you're out) though in Andi's case it is due to medical reasons. Merline Lovelace is at her best as she uses romance to place a powerful spotlight on life in and after the military.

I've had the paperback of this book since it came out eons ago. I was so glad to see it come out in Kindle format because it is a story I love. I like that the author didn't make the couple so antagonistic that you disliked them. They had the perfect amount of "Oh, I still love him but..." How the heroine finds her way is so true to life and all in all, I just love this story!
