In Step

By: Nicole Higginbotham-Hogue

Narrated by: Emmalyn Miles

Wilkins, a conservative soldier, gets the shock of her life upon her first meeting with Johnson, an overly liberal journalist from San Antonio. Johnson is blunt, loud, and kind of cute but nevertheless, the exact opposite of quiet, rule-bound Wilkins. Johnson, who happens to be best friends with Wilkins' superior, Tech Sergeant Ian Morris, ends up falling head over heels for the modest sergeant, and upon learning the nature of Johnson's feelings, Wilkins tries her best to avoid the extraverted woman, knowing that if she gives in to the promised affection, her job title and reputation will be compromised. However, when Johnson is assigned to do an undercover story about life as an Air Force trainee and is asked to reside in the dormitories as a trainee, all chaos breaks loose. Wilkins ends up having to choose between love and her responsibility as a soldier, knowing that her choice may have a lasting effect on the rest of her life.

Was a good read

Like this story and the narration was pretty good. Lots of intrigue and mystery that gets partially resolved. Need to find the next one though cause it ends on one hell of a cliffhanger.

Loved It!

This is a F/F story. This book was a ying and yang story. I loved the characters and the storyline. I can't wait to see what happens next.

not plausible, hard to listen to

start with unrealistic military base operations, a lifeless narration, some less-than-compelling dialog and the result is two stars.
whether it was content or delivery that irked me most is unclear but the combination made it difficult to finish.

Difficult to follow story

I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

I found this audiobook very difficult to get into in the beginning. The story jumps around a lot, which you later find out are flashbacks for one of the characters. With the way the story was narrated, it was difficult to know when one section ended and another began. There was very little pause time between sections to identify each as a separate part. I had to skip back several times because I got lost in what was going on due to this.

The story was ok, but the military references seemed unrealistic when compared to other depictions of military life. I venture to say that if any cadet spoke back to a ranking officer the way one of the main characters did, she would have received severe punishment. It just felt fake and took away from the story.

Very Hot and Very well written...

I really enjoyed listening to this well written little book. Sometimes books like this focus solely on the sex, and the story line and characters suck. Not the case here. I really enjoyed the story. You could remove all of the sex and the book would still have a great story line. The sex is just the icing on the cake. I also the the narrator did an excellent job. Defiantly a great little book!

This book was given to me at my request. I am providing a voluntary and honest review:
