SEALs of Honor Book 1-3 is a collection of books about a SEAL team that got sent on missions, and somehow ended up with the subject of the mission fall in love with one of the SEALs. The plot was somewhat interesting, but again, extremely un-SEAL-like this can only be regarded as "SEAL-abuse" stories
What's worse the author relies on kidnappings and other violence against the FMC for the plot, and the SEAL team fight to get her back, only to lose her AGAIN to yet ANOTHER kidnapping. It's utterly HILARIOUS at times to read the FMC knocked over the head, drugged, chloroformed, punched, beaten, slapped, kidnapped multiple times, ALL IN THE SAME BOOK! As bodyguards, these SEALs are utterly INCOMPETENT, and they somehow end up with the girl! And this pattern was REPEATED throughout the three novels! Sure, these girls are tough cookies and but really, this is just HILARIOUS to read.
The SEALs are just generic badasses in this book. While there are occasional bits that refer to the SEAL training or mission, sending a SEAL team to conduct covert surveillance in... Germany? Really? (That's the third book) That's just hilarious. There are occasional bits of WTF situations, like someone shot through window of a small jet to kill the pilot. Doesn't work like that, at least not without a sniper rifle, and even then it's not a sure kill! Then there are the magical abilities of the bad guys to somehow find and kidnap the FMC again and again.
The romance parts between the action scenes are fine, but overreliance on kidnappings and violence against FMC for plot is inexcusable.
