Skylark

The SEAL Saga, Book 1

By: Megan Michelle

Narrated by: Molly Briar, P G Hammock

Being the first female Navy SEAL is no easy job, but someone's got to dismantle the patriarchy.

Rachel Ryker, call sign ‘Skylark,’ can out run and out gun just about anybody, and with her second in command, Christopher Williams, by her side, she’s practically unstoppable. Christopher would follow Rachel to hell and back… or maybe just to the Middle East. When a top-secret malware code is stolen from the CIA, Rachel and Christopher lead their SEAL team through the Middle East in an attempt to recover it.

They both have their own reasons for fighting, but as the team gets closer to finding the stolen malware, Rachel discovers that the man they're looking for may be closer to her than she thinks. Will Rachel’s obsession with completing their mission override her common sense and causes her to lose sight of what is really important- keeping women and children safe from the oppressive patriarchy they are all living in?

With secrets, pride, and a strict no fraternization policy keeping them apart, falling in love would mean sacrificing everything Rachel and Christopher have worked for. But when Rachel gets injured in combat, everything changes. Now Rachel will have to choose: does her devotion to the Navy outweigh her love for Christopher?

well written

I am not one who usually goes for a military drama but was pleased by this book. I know it's a small thing but I am easily switched off when authors over use the same phrase over and over again in their books and this did not happen. I was engaged by the performances and the substance of the book. I did find that the audio quality was a little distorted, more so from the female performer than her male counterpart. I do find that mildly ironic considering the overall message that she was trying to convey. I am very much looking forward to more from this author.
