Rating : 4 Stars

Special Operator Lucas Shipley thought his living arrangement was temporary, since getting booted from the house by his wife. He sleeps on a couch in the apartment with four other divorced Navy SEALs, thinking he’ll get the call to come home any day. He ignores the not-so-helpful advice his buddies are giving him about marriage, women and romance. Until he gets served with divorce papers. Realtor Marcy Gelland is hired by Lucas’ soon-to-be ex-wife to liquidate all their real estate holdings and help her orchestrate a speedy departure from Lucas’ life. Based on what the hot-headed SEAL wife has told her, Marcy understands Lucas deserves every ounce of pain coming his way. But when Marcy and Lucas are left alone together in the remote Northern California woods, they ignite a personal bonfire that threatens to burn down the whole forest. Marcy is forced to see she is wrong about Lucas. Amidst the backdrop of hardened bachelor SEALs with their unsolicited, anti-long-term relationship advice, and a terrorist training camp operating nearby, Lucas must do what he’s always done: be the hero and save the day. But will it be in time to save Marcy?

SEAL Brotherhood: Lucas was a good start for the new series “Band of Bachelors” by Sharon Hamilton.

The writing is fluent and flawless which made it an easy read, especially as the characters and story were well developed.

While basically the whole story should have been heavy with all the stuff that was going on in the leads life, the author managed to sneak a lot of humor and good dialogue into the novel.

Also there was a lot going on which made it more than just your ordinary easy digestible romance. It was exactly what you expect from a SEAL … – or at least what I would expect from a SEAL Novel …

My only “stumble” of sorts would be that this SEAL was kind of fast moving from his failed marriage to new grounds – but that might just be my very personal perspective – but still for me that is the one reason I could not give this novel a full star range.

Other than this – it was a fully recommendable read …
