A Seal SongDon't judge a book by its cover. I think that this adage applies to this novel completely. Not only just as a cover image, which just shows a man with a gun overlayed over a city, but also when it comes to the characters in the book.It all starts out at a wedding, and focuses on the Wedding Singer Darci and a groomsman Jack, who just happens to be a Navy Seal. What happens after the wedding ends and the reception starts, is a wild ride that has you wondering just what is going to happen next. Darci is a singer of Irish/Celtic type music and travels with her band, and Jack is of course a daring Navy Seal that goes on his own dangerous missions. They are an unlikely couple, especially since at first look of one another they have misconceptions about the other. What's nice is that they end up proving to one another that they're not the people that they look at from first impression. Darci isn't the typical weepy woman, she stand strong and has a full grip on her Irish Temper, and Jack is more than just a pretty face. As a novel that is first in a series, I think that it gives the forth coming books a lot of potential. First books in a series are harder to write, because you have to set up everything in that first book. I think that Ms. Lowery does a fine job in setting this up.This is a romantic suspense novel, or at least I would categorize it as such. It has action and two characters that end up falling in love with each other, despite realizing that it has to be a mistake. Unlike other books, this does have an ending, and can be read as a stand alone, even though it does say that it's the first in the series. I would recommend this, if you enjoy reading about military romance, action, adventure or want to invest in a series. Also, if you enjoy reading about, a heroine that finds her Mr. Right as well as realizing she can do more than she thought, and a Hero that finds the woman that completes him.
