It was written very well and the author is obviously very intelligent. I just found some bits a little hard to believe.First, whenever Caleb announced a special skill he excelled at, not only would the author say it was due to being a SEAL, the author would imply that only SEALs have such a skill because they are SEALs. This writing tactic was so over-used that I was rolling my eyes throughout the entire novel.The other thing that really got to was me was so incredibly shallow and self-centered Emmie was in the beginning of the book, even to the extent that she looked down upon Jax. Then all of a sudden she had a change of heart, looked at the world differently, dropped most of her eccentricities, got a make over and was a better person. I might have been able to accept her change of heart and character so drastically, IF it had not also coincided with a total make over.Her intellectual ego, along with Caleb's, bugged the ever loving crap outta me.I DID like the fact that Caleb did NOT go all alpha male all over Emmie and force her beside him. He made her make the choices as pertaining to a relationship and sex, and for a small part, he wanted her to the make the first important moves/advances. I was also happy to see that Caleb was able to share his darker secrets with her early on, rather than stringing her along for most of the novel.The wedding was cute, and I was happy to see Picket and Jax again from the first book. The writing in this book has some good parts and some odd confusing moments. He'll do anything to move the mission forward, no matter the cost . . .Navy SEAL Caleb Delaude is deadly charming. When he discovers that professor Emmie Caddington's personal connections can help him get the dirty work done, he sets out to win her over. But her quick intelligence and quirky personality sure do start to get under his skin . . .She may just be the key to his salvation . . .Emmie's smart and independent and isn't looking for a brawny guy to take over her life. But this rugged Navy SEAL, who seems so determined to get close to her, hides a fi erce intelligence and deep sensitivity.When plans go wrong and a child's life is on the line, Emmie learns what it means to be a SEAL in action, and Caleb discovers that even a hero can get hurt sometimes . . .
What do You think about SEALed With A Promise (2009)?

The first book in the series had so much promise but this one just fell flat.

I wish it was a little more exciting. I did like the ending though.
