Sailor Proof: An LGBTQ Romance

Sailor Proof by Annabeth Albert Shore Leave #1 What fun this book proved to be! I fell in love with Derrick and Arthur but also with Arthur’s family and the look into what it must be like to be involved with someone in the Navy. I knew that the men on the LST that evacuated us from Lebanon were missing their families, appreciated the effort they made to keep us safe, and thought of them again today while reading this book and realized even more the sacrifices they and their families make every day to do the jobs they do. What I liked: * Derrick Fox: Petty Naval Chief working with sonar in a submarine, orphaned as a youth, raised by his grandmother, the Navy is his career, and he is focused, sweet, kind, gentle, confident, and perfect for Arthur. * Arthur Euler: musician, different from other family members, fun loving, lives for himself, kind, generous, interesting, perfect for Derrick. * The Euler family: large, loving, boisterous, competitive, do-gooders, there for on another. * The look into part of what it might be like to be in the Navy and/or to fall for someone in the Navy. * The growth of the relationship between Arthur and Derrick * That the obstacles to overcome were dealt with honestly * The communication between the couple * The support of Arthur’s mother * That the relationship between Derrick and Arthur was healthy and normal and believable * The family reunion and the activities and situations that occurred there * All of it really! What I didn’t like: * Can’t think of anything except maybe the undervaluing of Arthur by some of his family. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in this series? Yes Thank you to NetGalley and Carina Adores for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
