This was a fun romance read with an interesting plot, I loved the writing as much as The Kiss Quotient and this is a quick read, I flew through this in about 4 hours.  The sexy parts were sexy without being cringe.  However, for me the characters were a bit too passive, love seemed to happen to them without much work, I think I was hoping for a bit deeper interactions between the two and I think more time either in Vietnam or with Esme's daughter and mother would have added depth, she seems to forget about her daughter quite a lot.
