Thank you so much Netgalley for the advance reader's copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Fallen SEAL Legacy is the 2nd book in the SEAL Brotherhood series. The blurb for the book was what drew me in to request this book. After reading the book itself I have to say that the book wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be.

Sorry I was not able to read you book but it went to archive before I could get to it. Sorry once again.

I hate giving negative reviews but WOW. I finished it, but I wish I'd given up when I was first tempted to at about the 8% mark. If you like your SEALS - or just your characters in general - to have even a tiny bit of class or to have a little depth, this definitely isn't the story for you. Even the side characters were obnoxious. The men in this book are nothing but the worst example of the stereotypes of sex-obsessed, crude-talking, skirt chasing, female-objectifying, totally offensive men - especially the SEALs.
Spoilery but IMPORTANT warning to potential readers: the heroine in this book is described as having "personal grief" in the book description. What they fail to warn for is that her "grief" is a vividly described violent attempted rape by an authority figure. An attempted rape which - despite knowing there were rumors that this man had repeatedly done this before with other students and then having it all but confirmed by the college big wig she talks to about the assault - she then does not report to the cops, and gets no professional help for. No, our brilliant psych major and daughter of a highly regard psychiatrist decides to heal herself by having lots of unprotected sex with a total stranger in a scuzzy camper by the ocean. Don't worry, she's on the pill so the unprotected sex with a stranger whose name she doesn't even learn until they've had sex about a dozen times is TOTALLY cool. Oh, and while she's constantly (and I do mean constantly) sexing him up, he's one of main suspects in a series of horrifying things that keep happening to her family.
Yeah, the rest of the book makes about as much sense as that rambling paragraph did.
As if the convoluted story with it's multiple characters that added nothing to the story but more names to remember and people to dislike wasn't hard enough to follow, the editing was flat out atrocious. The entire book was full of typos and it seemed like every other page had smaller paragraphs that got combined to make one giant, hard-to-decipher chunks of text and dialogue.
This is my first and last book by this author.
I requested a copy of this book from NetGalley and wrote an honest review.
