Review of Conduct Unbecoming by L.A. Witt



3.5 Star




Military romance that is a guidebook to Okinawa, Japan. 

Conduct Unbecoming by L.A. Witt is first a military romance, focusing on a taboo relationship between enlisted Eric Randall and Officer Shane Connelly.  Eric is unexpectedly transferred to Okinawa, Japan and even though DADT is repealed he struggles with companionship in a place when everyone America in in the military.  He goes out to a gay club one night to find a one-night stand and happens upon Shane.  And from their first looks at each other there is HEAT.  L.A. Witt, can write heat, and this grabs you and makes you feel it.

Eric and Shane keep their relationship a secret at first as they don’t want to come out in the military, but once they discover that they are enlisted and an office their secrecy becomes even more important.  This is hot read, the sex between Eric and Shane is off the sheets, and there is a lot, they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other! 

Complaints?  Well, it is really fascinating to learn about Okinawa, but it gets a bit much.  The descriptions of the castle sites are beautiful, but they go on and on.  And add that to the fact that you really are waiting for the shoe to drop, for someone to see them out-and-about, we tended to skim a bit.  Also, we did have to google a bit with why an enlisted and officer can’t be together, could have been explained a bit better.  But there is so much to love about this book, hot, sexy military men, a great sense of humor, and the character of Eric’s daughter, so much fun.    And we really rooted for Eric and Shane!
