This is one whale of a story -- I learned a lot about JAG through the story of Kaitlin McCord and Daniel Wilson. I love the story so much that I had to read straight through to the end. Fantastic! This story really moved at a fast pace to keep the interest avid and all I can say is WoW!

--Pamela Cohen, Romantic Times
A Russian officer, an irresistible little boy, a dedicated member of the Pentagon protocol office and strong thread of intrigue combine to make THE COLONEL AND THE KID, part of the 'In Uniform' series, an exciting and heartwarming story. . . . Plot twists enhance the romance and help to push Viktor and Natalie into admitting their love. . . . Alexander's surgery and recuperation provide tense moments and underline the feelings of fright, despair, love and relief over a child's illness that I imagine every parent with a critically ill child must go through. Natalie's mother is a funny character that adds to Natalie's struggle with her conscience and provides comic relief. . . . the tense international intrigue that provides the conflict in the last half of the book left me with tingles. I just could not put down this story until I knew that all ended well. . . . Intrigue, delight in a child's pleasure, great romance, a strong hero and heroine and strong characters are the ingredients that make THE COLONEL AND THE KID a delightful read. --Shirley Lyons, TheRomanceReader.com
When choices of the heart clash with military rigidity -- Very highly recommended. THE COLONEL AND THE KID by Elizabeth Ashtree will tug at readers' hearts. . . . The pressure created by the child's illness, and the willingness to sacrifice anything to save him becomes a strong motivation to bring two military people from opposite sides of the world together. Secondary characters are also vividly realized, with a well meaning mother whose frequent phone calls seem timed to drive Natalie crazy. . . . Ashtree's resolution to the conflict doesn't disappoint, making THE COLONEL AND THE KID a terrific read. Very highly recommended.
