SEAL SERIES 1During the start of the month, I was on a bit of a SEAL reading kick.  Guess I just felt it was my patriotic duty to read about these brave men & women.  (That's my story & I'm sticking to it.)  I happened to pick up Sharon Hamilton's "SEAL Brotherhood" Boxed 1 Set, which contains "Accidental SEAL" and "SEAL Encounter"."Accidental SEAL" didn't really do much for me.  It's basically a prequel to "SEAL Encounter", and could have just as easily been a prologue in "SEAL Encounter".  It's one of those "so close but yet so far" type stories where you are introduced to a pair of characters that have a spark but just never quite manage to connect.  That's what happened to Kyle & Christy; but meet they do in "SEAL Encounter"!Christy is new to town; she's inherited her Mom's condo & decides to hang out in town for a while.  Since she has a realtor license, she makes use of her time by hooking up with a local office.  She's sent by another agent to do an Open House; problem is that she is sent to the WRONG house.  That house, of course, is where Kyle is hanging out looking for his out-of-communication SEAL buddy, and when he hears someone coming in he suspects ill intent.  Before you can yell "Yehaw!" Kyle has Christy hog-tied... and there's the "encounter".From this point, the book becomes a romantic suspense - Kyle & Christy are battling the bad guys, while trying to find his SEAL buddy and saving the day.  Overall, a great read & it really pulls you into the story.  There are times it drags a bit... just skim past until you get to a point where the action has picked up.  It's cool to read about the interactions between the SEAL team & how they really are a community into themselves.
