It's free gay book day.

Meant to post this on free gay book Wednesday but I was too busy at work and freaking out about all the fandom transferring over to DW.

Today we have LA Witt who is kind of hit or miss for me. Some fics have been RIDICULOUSLY well done. I read this one free e-book while waiting for jury duty but by the time the story came out on audio, it sounded terrible. I think some narrators just really break the book for me.

In any case. Image under the cut (SLIGHTLY NSFW). Title: Conduct Unbecoming




First class petty officer Eric Randall is less than thrilled about taking orders to Okinawa. Three long, lonely years on a crappy island that’s thousands of miles from his daughter? Oh. Yeah. Sign him up. But as long as he’s stuck here, he might as well make the best of it, so he discreetly checks out the local gay scene, where he meets Shane Connelly.

What starts as a one night stand leaves both of them wanting more, but then Eric finds out Shane doesn’t just outrank him, he’s an officer. DADT may be repealed, but an enlisted man getting involved with an officer falls under conduct unbecoming a gentleman and could cost both men their careers. They both have kids to take care of, future civilian careers to consider, and retirements on the line.

Still, they can’t resist each other. They discreetly spend nights together, and their mutual desire to explore the beautiful island of Okinawa is a perfect excuse to spend days together. As long as no one asks and they don’t tell, there’s no reason anyone has to find out.

But secrets like this tend to make themselves known…

This 95,000 word novel was previously published.
