Love Lost

Humorous and fun readThese books are an easy quick read, but a fun one. The concepts in them are well done. There is quite a bit of attention to detail regarding the military and special ops scenes as well as the woman’s couture and computer concepts.I have to even admit that a couple scenes got to me. The obvious pain of Bethany Anne to Martin’s death, was incredibly poignant. The other big one was when the TCQ Navy was being formed and such concepts of honour, helping and protecting the innocent and basically just doing what was right, actually brought a few tears to me. It’s nice to know that there are others in our world who know what’s right and see that maybe our own government, the rich, and the general populace may not know that experience for themselves as often as they should. It gives me hope that if in our reality such an example was shown and expected, there would actually be some who could fulfill it.I liked the addition of Gabrielle to become one of BA’s team. She added a great perspective into the mix. The stories that Stephen shared and pointed out to Ivan were hilarious. With all the various characters, you’d would think it would be difficult to keep all of them clear in your mind, not only for the author, but for the reader too. It isn’t difficult in the least though, as each character has a unique outlook and personality and stands out from each other. It certainly makes for a more interesting read, as you get personally involved with the backstories of each character. This makes it easy to recall each character, such as any member of the QB Guard all the way down to short used (so far) of Killian and Gunny Dukes (I hope she’s used more, her backstory was inspired) or even of Jonathan or Gerry from the American Weres, who don’t get as much prose at this time.Things do seem to happen a bit too easily for the team. Even their failures tend to help them in the right direction. I do realize planning and determination can get you there often but it doesn’t always work and though I wouldn’t want to see massive failures occur for this unique team often, a few setbacks might help the believability of the story going forward.I continue to look forward to more of this series, and possibly for this prolific authors other offerings out there to be read as of yet. Seriously, how does he write this much? These have been easy fun reads, but even quick books take time to write and write them well. It amazes me how much I see with his name on it.
