Mississippian Carrie Armstrong has
always been competitive in all aspects of her life and
fiercely independent. Carrie joins the Air Force right
after high school graduation and begins a successful career
in the military. Twelve years later, she is deployed to
Camp Lemonier in the Horn of Africa as a Tech Sergeant and
Satellite Communications Operator. At the combined joint
task force base, consisting of Navy, Army, Air Force, and
Marines, she meets and develops a friendship with Marine
Staff Sergeant Beau Adams. As their friendship grows so
does the sexual awareness and attraction between Beau and
Carrie, and they both struggle with the no fraternization
rule as well as the potential of endangering their military
careers.
Crossing The Line has great dialogue with
engaging characters and a pleasurable plot line. I liked
the details and backgrounds of the characters and knowing
Carrie's personal history with her best friend Alan, and
Beau's friendship with Crash, made Carrie and Beau very real
people in my mind. The personal choices and sacrifices each
have to make for their burgeoning love is emotionally
poignant and I was pleasantly surprised by the in-depth
perspective from Beau's point-of-view. Overall,
Crossing The Line is an insightful look into the
loves, lives, and careers of today's military. And the
cover is sexy-hot! |
