I have always enjoyed both authors and was so looking forward to their collaboration only to find it somewhat lacking - at least in the first half of the book where all of the sex took place. It wasn't the sex scenes (which I normally skim) I took umbrage with as it was WHERE both sex and further surreptitious touching occurred - times and places where they ran an extreme risk of getting caught and being dismissed from the SEAL program. I found it rather uncomfortable, as well as embarrassing, to imagine two men who went through such a rigorous program as BUD/S to end up acting like two high school boys on a testosterone high; their almost total lack of discretion just didn't seem in sync with the kind of men who can successfully complete such a mentally and physically demanding programs to earn their Trident.The second half of the book, however, was much more intriguing and while I have no knowledge of/experience with mission operations, the actions that took place seemed quite realistic to me. Enough so that I have already pre-ordered the sequel just to see what happens in the future with Josh and David.
