Finally a novel where I actually get to read what these guys go through. In Loving a Warrior we get the training, the emotions and then some more training. I loved reading about it, seeing how Matt and Shane deal with the mental aspect of the BUD/S training, how they learn from their mistakes (well, one more than the other) and how they would finally, finally, work out their feeling for each other and deal with them. Half of the book almost drove up the wall, at some point I was thinking this better be good, or else. And good it was.

Shane and Matt worked their way through everything. From earning the trident to earning each other. I loved how they grew more comfortable in each other's company, how they became completely honest and transparent, opened up and blindly trusted the other. They both had some tales to tell and they both proved to be understanding and a rock when needed. It took a while and a lot of work, but there's no doubt they got this and it's all going to work just fine.

All in all, great read. After a few fails in the military genre I am so glad to have found this novel. Oh and I liked the 'three-foot-world' concept so much.
