Review: Issued to the Bride: One Navy SEAL

Issued to the Bride: One Navy SEAL by Cora Seton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The first in a series, 'One Navy Seal' has a huge info dump at the beginning that sets up all the characters for the next 5 books. It felt a bit like having a guest list thrown at my head and I had a bit of an issue trying to remember who was who at first.

The other main point that might bother some readers more than others, is that you have to be willing to go all in on a very unlikely scenario that would allow the General to pull off his plan. You will have to have a suspension bridge of disbelief to get into this book. The added bit of mysticism really hammers that home. The Love at First sight it not the hardest thing to believe in this book.

That being said, it's a solid, fast read. Brian is a nice guy, and although I would have liked to have seen more of the development of the relationship between him and Cass (the timeline gets a bit irritating) I did find myself cheering for them.

I probably won't go out of my way to read the rest of the series, but if I come across them I might still pick them up.
