This one gets a big fat MEH from me. I cannot with all the whining and the crying and the huffing and puffing, the lap sitting and improbable sexual positions, and ESPECIALLY all the "Babe"s.



I had to remind myself multiple times that I was supposed to be reading a book about some manly and gruff Marines and not a YA novel featuring a couple of 16 year old drama queens.

And let's not even talk about how Kelly seemed to have morphed into a particularly bitchy woman with all the (view spoiler)[unnecessary jealousy and the "Why doesn't he want to marry me??" **uncontrollable sobbing** (hide spoiler)] These characters seem like totally different people than they were when the series first started, and these newbies are people I don't want to read about.



I expect to read about a whole bunch of angsty cry babies when I read certain authors. With this author I (used to) expect manly men getting into and out of improbable situations whilst cracking jokes and being assholes. If this series is going in the the opposite direction going forward, well then I'm out. Get back at me when these characters grow a pair.

Oh, and I almost forgot:

Dear Riptide Publishing,

The last few books I read from you guys (including this one) had way too many grammatical errors. I expect that from self pubbed books that cost $2.99. When I spend $7.99 I expect extra good books with professional quality editing and yet these books were sadly lacking at least one of those qualities. What is going on over there?

Sincerely,
Not Amused
