Summary

Captain Sabine Fleischer is a skilled and dedicated US Army surgeon deployed to a combat hospital in Afghanistan. She is also one of the thousands of troops who are forced to serve in silence because of the military's anti-gay policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT)".

Usually driven and focused, Sabine finds that battles raging both inside and outside the perimeter walls are making it more and more difficult for her to deal with her emotions. Dealing with loss and mortality, lack of privacy, sleep deprivation, loneliness, and the isolation forced on her by Don't Ask, Don't Tell are all taking their toll. Plus, her long-term relationship with a civilian back home is quickly becoming another casualty of war.

Colonel Rebecca Keane is an enigmatic career officer who runs the surgical unit like clockwork. Well-liked and respected by those who work with and under her, she walks a fine line to preserve the military's chain of command while connecting with those under her care and supervision. Sabine knows the colonel is way off-limits but can't help fantasizing about her. Especially when she starts picking up unspoken cues - a stolen glance, a secret smile, an "accidental" brush of hands. Or is it just wishful thinking? After all, Rebecca's wedding ring shines almost as brightly as her deep blue eyes....

Beautiful story beautifully performed

Wow, so glad I decided to give this one a listen, I’ve read and listened to a few of EJ. Noyes’ books, and loved every second of them. Ask, Tell was no exception. Do yourself a favour and get this book!

Great

I really enjoyed the story was nice for there to actually be a complex story, often times lgbtq characters are a gimmic and the story doesn’t expand behond the secuality. This is not the case in this book as it’s a good storyline

Loved it

Such a good story brought alive for me by a superb narration. You've got to love Sab and Bec and their difficult but loving travels through DADT. Minor characters also added to the overall enjoyment for me.

Good story but adequate performance

Liked the story but not impressed with the performance, would have preferred to read it instead I think.

Decent

This is a little slow to get started, but if you persevere I’d say it’s worth the effort. Excellent plot, if a little predictable at times, and seemingly really well researched. And, okay, Abby Craden could read me Kafka in German and I’d go 5 stars
