SEALS of Team 3 Band of Bachelors

The bachelors of Team 3 get better with every book that Ms. Hamilton writes. The action is non stop, the love that they have with their lady loves are hot and sexy. But most of all, the guys are not only a team but family to their guys and their families.

Alex is a new team member but we also get to read about updates on Zak, Danny, Kyle and Cooper. Nick and Devon are anxiously waiting for the birth of their child and there's a possibility of a huge move to Sonoma County in the future.

Alex and Sydney meet on a blind date set up by his teammates, but the attraction they feel to each other is combustible. Sydney has a dream of playing pro beach volleyball and is looking for a partner to make on the team. But there's a little glitch, in the form of a few terrorists, that need to be taken care of by Alex. Does everything work out alright? Ill guess you'll just have to reD the book to find out. If this is your first book, I guarantee you'll be hooked forever. I can't wait for the next book!

I unfortunately did not like this book at all, the hero and heroine were not likeable and there was nothing romantic about their story. There were way too many secondary characters (SEAL members) and it just got way too confusing. Other reasons why I did not enjoy this are all spoilers.
SpoilerLucas was only just served with divorce papers which I normally hate as the start of a new romance but they made Lucas's ex so obnoxious him finding someone better was great. What I really hated about his character is that he shared two young children with the ex and I don't think I read him actually talk of the kids by name. At one point he did say that they were in a bad place with the ex but instead of discussing trying to get custody he discusses how that means they are happy to see him. A bad dad is not at all a hero in my mind. At one point Marcy was kidnapped by a terrorist cell when she is abused and pumped with heroine. When she rescues herself she just goes home with Lucas. She was physically abused by the terrorists and had drugs in her system, had to be rescues from a house fire, but she didn't go to the hospital? Totally unrealistic. There were also multiple times were woman were abused in this story so it could be very triggering for some people. And finally, Lucas and Marcy fell in love within 3 chapters, were about for about 20, broke up, and then fell back in love in 1? Nothing at all felt like a love connection, it was pure lust.
I don't think I'll be reading any more in this series.

I love books on Navy SEAL men!! It has become my favorite thing to read!  Alex is always being set up by his fellow SEALs on blind dates, but they never work out.  Is it because he has not met "the one" or is it because he does not want anything than a fling.  Sydney is a beach volleyball player and is focused on her career.  She does not want anything serious.  Sydney is a serious adrenaline junkie.

If you want hot intense with a mix of intrigue, then this is your book.  I loved that Alex and Sydney met on a blind date, which is how I met my husband.  It reminded me of the beginning.

It seems like all of the bachelors keep continue to fall into marriage one by one.  The background for Jake is messy.  That is the only word I can use to describe him.  2 ex wives and an ex girlfriend.  Wow.  Jake needs to slow down in the girl department.

I loved the book, but I felt like something was missing.  I wanted to know more about the ending.  What else happened?  I do not want to go into details for those who have not read the book.  I do hope there is another book with more details on Jake and Ginger.

This story begins with Jake waking up in Vegas with a wedding ring on, and no memory of the night before. Throughout the story your torn between what's going on with Jake as he's sent on a mission, and the drama of what's unfolding amongst his family back home. This was a great read, and I found myself unable to stop until the end!
