GRR Reviews Single Dad SEAL by Charlize Starr

Single Dad SEAL is a crappy book, because the author failed basic research, and this was obvious in the first few chapters of the book. As GuyReivewsRomance, I find it as my duty to warn you away from such garbage.

1) There is no "colonel" in the SEALs or in the Navy. Yet the main character was called colonel many times (including by his CO) and it wasn't a joke. It seems the author can't be bothered to search wikipedia for SEAL ranks!

2) Navy doesn't assign "lavatory duty" because navy doesn't call a bathroom lavatory. Navy call it a "head". Again, basic research FAIL!

Clearly, the author wrote up some random bits of military romance and did a mass search and replace, tried to cast it as a SEAL romance, without an editor and fact checker. The rest of the book may be sweet, but you can't write a mlitary romance without getting the military details right (or at least "not wrong"). This one was ALL WRONG.

Throwing in a ton of bonus content (this is 600 pages, which means it's at least 4/5  "bonus crap") doesn't make the (bleep) smell any better.
