Still in the process of reading the other books in this antho.Review of Seal's Obsession:I loved this book. It was really fun to read and just a great story. I enjoyed getting to see some of the same characters from other books in this series. Jack and Natalie are well written characters that I just fell in love with from the beginning of the book.Natalie is on a floating doctor boat that travels to different places and pulls in to give medical help to the locals, help that they otherwise don't have access to and can't afford. Jack is in the same area as Natalie and the doctor boat on a mission to catch pirates that have been tormenting the surrounding area. They are having a hard time finding them and trying to get them to show themselves. Jack is undercover and just walking around trying to see if he can get a feel for the pirates and/or entice them to try and take him. It doesn't work but he is in the right place when the doctors come under attack. Jack is able to thwart the pirates plan and then he works his way onto Natalie's boat, still undercover. There is instant chemistry between Natalie and Jack but Natalie tries to ignore it at first.I loved the way that this story was written and the way that it flowed. It was very smooth and it didn't have any issues that I came across. Characterization was dead on throughout the whole story. I found myself not wanting to put it down and not wanting the story to end. This is a quick read and I was not ready for it to be over though the story was complete. I liked the way that it left off, because it is a happily ever after but not an unrealistic one. Both characters know that they have things they need to figure out and work on for things to work out between them but they are ready to take that step and do it. I liked that. There is some suspense throughout the story as you try and figure out if there is an inside man or if the pirates are just good. There's a great balance between action and relationship, enough to keep you totally pulled in and entertained.This is part of a series but one that can be read as a stand alone without any problems. You do get to see characters from previous books in the series that adds to the story if you have read the others but does not take away if you haven't. You won't feel left out if you haven't read the other books in the series.
