NOTE: Collection, contains 5 books: SEAL's Baby, SEAL Billionaire, SEAL Firefighter, SEAL's Secretary, SEAL's Virgin.
This review will be a little different as I'm trying to address the entire collection, as the individual books are not available on Amazon Kindle.
While you do get a lot of reading material (the collection is over 800 pages), the books just come across as rather... mediocre to poorly written. Background information was mentioned and never touched again. SEAL ability and training was never used, and villains are practically infantile. Even names picked are about as generic as they come, with minimal research for viability.
Here are some examples:
A woman of Chinese descent and "still had an attractive Chinese accent" is named "Yuki", which is a JAPANESE name.
Similarly, a Russian girl was named "Aria" (not Russian), and her brother (who stayed in Russia) is named "Andrew" (still not Russian). If they were named Anya and Andrei it'd make MUCH more sense.
A gang leader picks a fight with a former SEAL firefighter... In front of the firehouse, with a dozen firefighters merely yards away, and police not far behind. And all the gang leader brought was a knife.
In the same fight, this ex-SEAL, instead of going for a disarm-move to take away the knife from the gang leader, goes for a face punch instead.
The plots just do not excite me at all. At best, I felt lukewarm. All five novels are consistently mediocre or worse.
