This was a brilliantly written read, and kept my attention until the end. The story line keeps you entertained, and I will read more by the author in future.

Very good plot and I really liked Sean. Entertaining read.
Many thanks to the author and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

The dayton dilemma by Dave Ives.
A very good read with good characters. I just didn't have any favourites. I did like the cover. This is a new author for me. 4*.

I really liked the main character, he was very relatable. The story had a nice easy flow, and though I’m not super familiar with the Air Force, it seemed as though the author did and what I could look up seemed accurate.
3.5 rounded up.
Thank you NetGalley and Dave Ives for the opportunity to read and review this.

Sean the main character in the book is in the Airforce as an medic he gets bored with that and applies for ROTC in Aerodynamics Engineering. He gets accepted to ROTC and heads to Ohio State to get his degree.

What I liked about the story is the stuff he talks about the Airforce it is accurate and reminded me of my time in the Airforce. Sean is a likeable guy shy and just wants what any other guy wants to be successful and to find a nice looking women to be by his side. He is a quiet type and enjoys listening to other peoples stories. I empathized with Sean with his dilemma and how that was eating at his conscious.

What I did not like is the book was written simplistic but it felt to over simplified. I thought that when he is using Airforce descriptions of acronyms using the word first and then give the acronym. If someone is unfamiliar with Airforce terms you can lose a reader fast and confuse them. I thought the story ok but it was written as you would tell your buddy a situation that happened.

I rate this book 2 1/2 stars this book is for people who enjoy very to the point stories and yes they have there place in books but for me personally it did not work for me.

I respect Dave Ives and his service in the military his accuracy in how he describes the Airforce is spot on. Where I think he can improve the book is to give more details engage the reader further the ideas are great but the story needs more.
