The chemistry between Richard Gere and Debra Winger is wonderful, and it's what keeps you involved in the film. I really felt that the actors salvaged the film due to the fact that this is a film that we know exactly how it will conclude. I thought that the film was a bit overrated, but nonetheless it's worth seeing, if you're looking for an engaging drama, this is a film worth seeing.

Her plots are suspenseful and more interesting than the plots of many genre romances. All ends well with her no longer under his command, but I just kept thinking "this is inappropriate!" All the scenes of them flirting at work made me very uncomfortable. The hero smokes, and that is a total turn-off for me - I'm surprised it didn't bother me in 1991! And the romance takes place between a male Air Force Colonel and a female Captain under his command. There is concern about a terrorist attack, and no conversation about terrorism can take place now without awareness of. I picked up a cheap re-release copy to reread.

Don't seek it out unless you like the tropes enough to slog through romance-by-numbers construction.more You don't get to play the guessing game with her, so who gives a shit when it's resolved? All that pads this bloodless, cliche courtship out to 225 pages is a non-participatory mystery plot.
Meet cute lead to covertly staring at each others butts which lead to "the best sex ever" between a 40+ year old man and a 28 year old virgin which then lead to a marriage proposal and agreement to have kids within two months of meeting each other. Everything was laid out in a sensible order for me, but it had nothing that asked me to involve my heart. I need some sort of emotion to work with and I was about as moved by the events of this novel as I would be from reading a take-out menu. It's not really actively bad, but it is so very much a Lego category novel that it's too ordinary to be any good either.Īs is the case with books like this, it's hard to review.
