Accidental SEAL

Publisher's Summary

Christy Nelson embarks on her new career in Real Estate by holding her first open house, at the wrong house, by accident, where she finds the nude sleeping body of a man.

Navy SEAL Kyle Lansdowne, on a mission to find his missing Team buddy, is staying at his buddy's home while investigating the disappearance. When someone breaks in, he takes protective measures. He doesn't expect to find that a beautiful young woman is responsible for his teammate's abduction.

What starts out as a meeting by accident becomes a hot affair neither one is ready for. Kyle is conflicted about getting Christy involved in his mission, but his hand is forced when he learns the same San Diego gang responsible for his teammate's abduction has kidnapped her.

Battling a cadre of dirty law enforcements hell-bent on getting military equipment, especially state-of-the-art firepower, Kyle is forced to admit that he would die to protect her.

The action, passion, humor, characters and the Narration. I was hooked from the start and did not want to stop.

What did you like best about this story?

I thought the author did an amazing job writing a wonderful tale that kept you interested. The Narrator did an amazing job giving voice to each character and bring them to life.

No I have not had the pleasure but will be looking into more that he has narrated, He has an amazing wonderful voice that brings the characters to life.

One passion filled story full of explosive action, gunfire, and lots of heat add some humor and hold on for the ride of your life.

Any additional comments?

All over review:
A story is full of suspense, romance, humor with lots of passion, action that will keep you wanting more. JD Hart brings so much to each character in his many different voices that will hold you spellbound, laughing and wanting more as he takes you on a journey to hunt and bring home a much loved military seal, why taking down the bad guys.

The author writes a compelling story that will keep you on the edge of your seats why the narrator takes you through the many different turns and twist to find a much loved military friend who is in need of help. Christy is caught in the middle as she falls hard for Kyle, Kyle is trying his best to do what is right and keep Christy out of it. Christy finds herself right in the middle not knowing who to trust and which way to turn.

This is a book full of passion, love, wants, and needs as they go on a mission to bring home one of their own from drug dealers who want more than drugs. I totally enjoyed and loved this story. The only issue I had with it was I expected Christy to be a more stronger character, she come on strong and then went weak but came back strong again. I just expected her to kick butt all through the book.

I would I recommend this audio, you bet. Would I read or listen to this book again you bet I would. This is a story I would enjoy reading again and again.

Sexy Miltary Read!!

Would you listen to Accidental SEAL again? Why?

I read the book but loved the audible version even more. Loved J.D. narration, it was perfect for the story.Accidental Seal was the first military book I have read. But I have to say it won't be the last. I will be quickly picking up the next book in the series. This book was not only sexy but it portrayed real feelings that we all conflict within ourselves at times. The way we feel for someone when we know we shouldn't but can't help but to be in love with them. I just loved this story and how Kyle and Christy were always there for each other even when the odds were against them. I found Sharon Hamilton's writing amazing. Her descriptive writing makes the reading experience even more realistic. It was action packed and full of smokin' hot love scenes. The attraction between the two main characters is undeniable. There was also plenty of humor and sarcasm to go around. This author has quickly become a favorite of mine, and I will definitely be reading more of her work.

Loved This One

Where does Accidental SEAL rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It ranks in the top percent edging toward the middle.

Who was your favorite character and why?

There were too many. I loved Cooper, Fredo, their Boss, Kyle, the detective, and the shop owner. They were all so engaging and their interactions made the story moved forward smoothly. When the main characters have great normal interactions with the secondary characters it makes it more like life.

Which character – as performed by J. D. Hart – was your favorite?

All of them. He does a wonderful job with each character. He is one of my favorite narrators. Notice I did not say favorite but one of them. Any book so far that I have listened that he narrated has been better for him being included.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, when the manager of the realty office called and gave Christy's address away then hung up and immediately knew that he had made a mistake. But there are no do-overs in life. That is why we have to think before we act.

Any additional comments?

I got this book via audiobook boom. Another great story in this series.

IMAGINATIVE CHANCE MEETING GIVES IT A JUMP START

Any additional comments?

I was provided this audiobook through Audiobook Boom at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

Very impressed. Great opening, showing original thought. Pretty good mix of SEAL teamwork and romance. The secondary characters stick with you, warming your heart with their quirky personalities and deep friendships, preparing you for further adventures.

Narration was excellent because J.D. Hart always is!

TWO THUMBS UP!

Delicious Narration... and SEAL... to Indulge In.

I usually mention the narrator at the end but JD Hart is an exception. And also exceptional! His voice is seductive and his performance works well for these rough and tough Seals.

Accidental Seal was a good military story with action from the very beginning. The initial encounter between the two main characters was humorous but I wish the insta-love thing didn’t happen. Perhaps if the time lapse was greater, the emotional connection could have grown more organically. When they connected, thier chemistry was off the charts. Unfortunately, the back-and-forth breaking up made the heroine appear weak. A Seal needs a strong woman. Still despite either of these small issues, I enjoyed this story. It was sexy, suspenseful and total entertainment. I recommend you indulge.

I review for the Guilty Indulgence Review Site.

Best performance ever!!

I love audiobooks and yet haven't found one with a performance as awesome as this one! This is definitely one you don't want to miss!

Now the story, it is a very good story with tons of action. The only thing I couldn't stand is that it is insta-love and our female character seems weak. I am a person that loves a strong character that doesn't make everything so easy for the guy. This chick is all but I love you and takes it every time he leaves her. Sorry but no I absolutely wanted to slap the chick!!! If this story had been set over more time and they met before the big incident or even the feelings developed over time I would have definitely said five stars but the insta-love, timeframe, and overly needy feeling from the female leave me not being able to. Believe me if these issues I have don't bother you, there is no way you could not love this book. If you are like me, I have to say the performance alone is friggin worth it.

Wonderful to find a series to love

Really liked the independent heroine who went after what she wanted. She proved to be what the hero couldn't resist.

Great narrator.

Liked the development of the secondary characters. They were not just there for the sake of the plot but had depth.

Ok but not great

This book was just okay. There didn't seem to be much of a connection other than physical between the lead characters and the action scenes were a little anticlimactic.

Nothing beats a SEAL

I read this book a few years ago and I really can't decide which is better... The book or the audio.

Ms. Hamilton wrote a gripping story full of memorable characters, swimming with danger, and choking with romance.

Mr. Hart's vocal talents really flushed out the story and brought each of the characters to life!

Would I recommend this book absolutely!

Phew!!! Just a little nervous from all the action!

What did you love best about Accidental SEAL?

I loved the story, it was full of action and romantic as hell. It kept me going, building up and hoping and...we'll it had me all the way. I have just seen that second book is now available and I AM ON IT!!!!!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Cal Lansdown because he is just so yummy although I really did like no nonsense Christie too.

What does J. D. Hart bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His raw, sexy and amazing voice. He made the seals, especially Cal even more "MAN" if that is possible. He completed it for me. I think a voice like that might be illegal, lol.

Any additional comments?

I purchased it on offer but would have gladly used a credit for it.

Awful

All the elements are there, main characters, supporting characters, bit of action, sex BUT it doesn't gel. I don't think the narrator helps as he uses such inappropriate tones or inflections. Wasted credit.
