No Rules of Engagement

By: Tracey Richardson

Narrated by: Joana Garcia

With wounded soldiers all around her, Major Logan Sharp doesn't have time to pamper some photographer from stateside. What spare energy she does have goes to worrying what she'll do when she ships home from Afghanistan. Home—for Logan, the word means nothing. But photographer Jillian Knight is not what she expects, and certainly not what she needs complicating her last tour.

Leaving her partner and daughter at home, Jillian Knight is on assignment in Kandahar to record the heroic work of medical units in war zones. She knows it'll be rough, but Logan Sharp's dedication and competence is reassuring. Jillian finds herself looking forward to her encounters with the intriguing military doctor, understanding that a by-the-rules demeanor is a must for surviving in a land where life is cheap.

Intense feelings threaten to overwhelm their good sense, but they follow the rules. After a single heart-stopping kiss, they do the only thing they must—say goodbye. Keeping in touch is not part of the plan, but when their paths cross unexpectedly more than a year later, abiding by the rules is suddenly much harder than they ever expected.

Contains mature themes.

No Cheating

Even though Jillian could have cheated on her partner while she was in afghanistan, no matter how much her attraction to the Major was, and the Major's attraction to her, except for kiss and holding each other after a near death experience, they did not cross the line. This and honest conversation is always a plus in my book.

The narration was just okay. It was as emotional as they Major tried to be.

Missed Chances

The story was riveting and strong. Being in the military myself, I know it's easy to find someone who you felt was goon too soon. My only issue was the narrator didn't convey the emotions and passion being felt throughout the book.

Loved this book

the medical and military genre are both my kind of books, even if I don’t know the writer or the narrator, and this one didn’t disappoint me. It was an excellent book with a very good narration.

good story

This was a great story. The narration of Jillian was not great. She's supposed to be this sexy photographer, but all I could picture is Betty White.

Awkward connection

The narrator sounded like AI generated. It was either monotone or the inflection was wrong. I have heard a lot of books from this author and they are good so it’s hard for to believe that this one was written by her. The character development was a little muddled left me asking too many questions. The connection between the characters was cringey. I would definitely not listen to anything by this narrator again but I would listen to more from this author.
