3.5 stars.

I love Hooch.
I despise Jean.

I didn't enjoy that sexual relationships between Vadim & Hooch and between Dan & Jean persist in this cycle at all ( )

Woah made me cry at the end but I still don't know why did we get those little stories about Dima. Like what for? It would be nice to have something about Maurice though, an extra book.
I'm gonna miss these guys. ( )

Right away the authors took my soul, slammed it down, hard. Ripped me apart, tore me, exposed me and continued to destroy me. Then little by little they began piecing me back together again but not without letting me slam back to pain, weakness and deep depression over and over again. All without losing me anywhere along the way. In the end, they were kind enough to reassemble all the parts and re-fill my soul with hope and happiness but not without leaving a deeply affected core that is very sensitive to entirely new concepts and experiences that I never thought I wanted or needed to have.

A beautifully written love story, so much more than a romance. It has been said by so many reviewers but these books have changed me. That is something very rare. Exceptional story telling, character development and continuity. I can not emphasize enough how much I recommend this book (these books) and hope the interest continues to grow.

I deliberately waited some weeks after reading "Mercenaries". I loved "Soliders" - felt it was a great love story, and despite the violence I found it very touching.
"Veterans" unfortunately had a lot more of the stuff I didn't like in "Mercenaries": constant sex scenes and rehashing of relationship issues. It felt extremely repetetive.
It read more like an erotic novel than anything else.
So I was a bit disappointed with this one.
But still a good read, especially for everyone who likes/loves Dan and Vadim :-) ( )
