It's always heartwarming to read a story about our men and women in the military andTHE NAVY SEAL'S PROMISEis exactly that. An army Corporal on Christmas leave and a NAVY SEAL on medical leave meet and found love in the most unexpected place.Now, here are my two cents: First, she is Army, he is Navy and there is a big competition between the services. And him being a SEAL makes him a die-hard Navy. Alright, there are always exceptions to the rule. But generally, Army and Navy do not mix, specially the elite fighting forces.Second, this might be a ***SPOILER*** so please stop reading here if you don't want to know. She is a college graduate, so why did she enlist? She could have gone to Officer Candidate School. Again, there are exceptions to the rule. College graduates choose to enlist at times. But, generally, they go to OCS.Third, as someone already pointed it out here, a Navy SEAL does not usually advertise. No matter how pretty the girl is, the SEAL's training would make him very mum about who he is. And again, she is Army; the more that the SEAL will be reticent.I have more, but I think you get the gist. There are a lot of literay license taken in this story. It's a beautiful story though and has the elements of "It Happened One Night".This book is rated PG 13 due to sex.
