I returned it to Audible. The narrator sounds like a computer!

This was one of my first military reads. I would give it 3.5 stars. I liked Kyle and his team members. Christy seemed a little ditzy to me, like she couldn't decide who she was.

Their relationship was kind of meh, but I thought the rest of the story was somewhat interesting. I was also more interested in some of the secondary characters than I was in Kyle and Christy.

lmfao, I laughed so many times.

Accidental SEAL was one of those books that I read for a certain reading challenge. Now I definitely laughed so much while listening to this book. Mostly because it was hilarious. Some scenes were so freaking absurd I just couldn't help myself.

Other than that the characters were mostly meh. I honestly didn't care about them or their relationship. I just wanted to see how it was going to end because I couldn't stop laughing. After reading this book, all I'm trying to do is figure out how the mound found the package. Does that mean the mound, aka vagina, is a hunter?

Overall, I'm dying after this book and I can't wait to dive into the next hot mess - AKA book #2.

I really liked this one. There was lots of action and danger, and of course the intimate situations were sizzlin' as well. I am eagerly looking forward to the next one!

This didn't work for me at all. I was over the characters after the 1st few pages. The female MC couldn't decide if she was a tough girl or a cry baby. She was either crying or "being" tough through the entire story. I hate to admit this, but I started skipping over her chapters about a 1/3 of the way through.

The male MC, a Seal, which would generally be hot was NOT. I have no clue why he was so important? The entire story he's trying to get this BFF back and yet some how the MC is the one they want? WHAT? The Seal Team...very confusing.

There were so many excess words throughout this book and some of the descriptions were so over the top that I found myself rolling my eyes more often than not.

We know the bad guys from the moment they are introduced and for some even before that. The character of Mia, was she good or bad and how messed up that this girl gets kidnapped and when they get her back she never seems concerned that the same people of her brother.

I don't know, I could go on but that seems rude so I will just say, no thank you.

I was a little disappointed with this book because I wanted to punch out the hero. He was about as angsty as Edward Cullen. He has the hots for this woman and wants her but he doesn't want to want her. On again/off again. Man up SEAL. As for the female lead she continues to lust after this guy even after he treats her so poorly. If it wasn't for the secondary characters in this story I might not have finished it. That being said I will read the next in the series because I did like the secondary characters and look forward to getting to know them better.

This was OK. I'm not a massive military romance girl so I don't get really into them if I'm honest. Just read this for a challenge.

The think I liked most about this book was the way the characters related with each other. We have humor, misunderstandings, loyalty, and betrayal. The SEALs on the team are very close and I loved how you could see that every time they were together. We get to know most of the team to some extent - it was a great way to introduce them while still focusing on our main character, Kyle.

Kyle is a hard man - but that makes sense because he's seen and done things that were necessary, but not easy. But he seems to melt just a little when Christy is around. She seems to understand him without him having to really say anything. Their first meeting was a bit rough, and I'm not sure I would have been able to get over it like Christy had. There were a handful of times that the characters acted a bit - over the top, but this is a fantasy and it definitely kept the book very entertaining.

I had a hard time relating to Christy at first, but she definitely grew on my by the end. She's a tough little princess-like girl that knows what she wants, at least most of the time. She is put under quite a bit of stress and has a good mix of cracking under it and fighting back.

As with many military romances, there was a lot of action. But in this book it was spread out and given in doses that were easy to absorb without getting too much. It was very well done and the military story arc was incredibly exciting.
