Nathan Lowell... WOW! I must say that this old Veteran intends to follow your writing career for a long time to come. Your books remind me SOOO very much of my own US Navy days, that it just makes the old nostalgia work all day long. Nate, I LOVE your writing style so far! I've seen a few comments that didn't agree with me, but I beg you, Sir, don't change a thing! I loved the lack of vulgarity and obscenity that some unnamed writers seem to think are required for their work, keep it up, leave the *&^% words out of everything you write, please. The sexual tension, and the love making scenes are EXTREMELY WELL done! Outstanding! The lack of doubt you leave is exactly what I feel should be done in literature... I blew thru Quarter and then Half Share in record time, and I'm 2/3rds done will Full Share, and I'm loving every second of it... Keep the good things coming, it's appreciated.

I didn't catch that one .. but you're right. Thanks for pointing it out.By: danb
Another great book Nathan... I'm on to full share! FWIW... I think you should take the word "fascinating" out behind the shed and shoot it :) when you used it twice while introducing the three women before the trip to get the fancy clothes, I decided to mention it... but by the end of the book, I was ready to never hear it again :) that said, I really enjoyed the book and I'm already looking for an excuse to drive somewhere far away to get a good start on the next!
