    About this series

    What do you do when the source of all your problems is the one thing you don't know how to fix?

    With Don't Ask, Don't Tell nothing more than an unpleasant memory, U.S. Army surgeon Sabine Fleischer is ready to move on with her life-if she can just figure out how to move past her PTSD. Fresh from her first deployment since surviving a vehicle attack in Afghanistan, Sabine is finding the things she's tried so hard to push aside aren't as easy to ignore as she'd hoped.

    Sabine's girlfriend and ex-commanding officer Rebecca Keane is happily settled into her new job running a trauma department in a civilian hospital. Life with Sabine is everything Rebecca ever wanted. But when Sabine's PTSD reappears worse than before, she's left struggling with her own guilt.

    There's no doubt that both Sabine and Rebecca want the same thing. But how do you help the most important person in your life when they don't want to need your help?

      Captain Sabine Fleischer is a skilled and dedicated U.S. Army surgeon deployed to a combat hospital in Afghanistan. She is also one of the thousands of troops who are forced to serve in silence because of the military's anti-gay policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT)." Usually driven and focused, Sabine finds that battles raging both inside and outside the perimeter walls are making it more and more difficult for her to deal with her emotions. Dealing with loss and mortality, lack of privacy, sleep deprivation, loneliness, and the isolation forced on her by "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" are all taking their toll. Plus, her long-term relationship with a civilian back home is quickly becoming another casualty of war. Colonel Rebecca Keane is an enigmatic career officer who runs the surgical unit like clockwork. Well liked and respected by those who work with and under her, she walks a fine line to preserve the military's chain of command while connecting with those under her care and supervision. Sabine knows the Colonel is way off-limits, but can't help fantasizing about her. Especially when she starts picking up unspoken cues-a stolen glance, a secret smile, an "accidental" brush of hands. Or is it just wishful thinking? After all, Rebecca's wedding ring shines almost as brightly as her deep blue eyes . . .

      I was totally looking forward to a happy ending. Sure it came but it took a really really long way. The said long way is absolutely worth it times over. E J Noyés have a vivid masterpiece.

    • 4/5
      Abby, u are awesome, wonderful narration. And the story was great, i love books that give the reader an inside look into something, in this case it’s an inside look @ what it’s like to be a surgeon in the Afghanistan war, with Captain Sabine F and her colleagues, especially her commanding officer Colonel Keane, and also an inside look into how the lives of gay soldiers were effected by the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell US military policy, especially, of course, our MC Sabine. The author does a wonderful job of taking us into this world, i cried ?a few times so u know her writing touches the heart. A wonderful read!
