Quotes:
“I mean I’m
not a troll but I certainly wasn’t head cheerleader material.”
“Chrissy has
curly blonde hair and is pregnant, like she is about to lay down and push it
out pregnant.”
“He slowly backs
away from me like I’m a rabid animal and I hear the TV turn on once more.”
My Review:
This novella
reads like a personal diary or a letter from a friend. It is written in a casual and relaxed manner
in common vernacular, and without pretense.
I found it refreshing and a bit perplexing. Refreshing - because I am enjoying the story,
realism, and honesty of the young bride who is struggling with stressful and unexpected
events. Perplexing – as a reviewer, I am
undecided on how to rate the caliber and quality of the writing. I have decided to go with a compromise and
met in the middle. Of great importance
to an old cougar and smut monger like me, Ms. Noelle does a good job with the
sensual scenes – nice and steamy! I am also
enjoying the humor, banter, bold honesty, and the confessional vibe as she
works through her observations, concerns, inner musings and feelings. She has quite a bit going on in her head and
has silently nicknamed the other military wives as the “military mafia” and is
personally annoyed and frustrated with their “wife code,” which appears to be
an old fashioned 1950s notion of how “good wives” should act. While it seems outdated and antiquated in
comparison to our current society at large, I am aware that this snobbery and stuffiness
is still the common expectation of many a military social set.

About The Author:
I love reading romance books! I feel like being able to lose yourself in a book in one of the more exciting aspects. The books I love to read and write will be ones that make you feel for the characters. You should have an opinion on every character in a book. Whether you love them, hate them, or think they are up to something.
I live in Philadelphia Pennsylvania with my husband, and three kids. On top of starting a writing career I am a full time student, and a full time mom. I love spending time with my kids, although I have to hide the computer from them when I am writing! I love being active and being able to do any activity outdoors.
I have always thought as an author the most important critic is your reader, so I would love to hear from you. If you read the book and loved it or hated it, tell me. As long as it is in a constructive way I will always answer and interact with you. I want fans to feel free to tell me what they want for the characters in the story and what they want to see happen.
