BOOK REVIEW- Seal of Approval (SEAL Series Book 1) by Jack Silkstone




Dating just got selective.

Mike Saunders is a SEAL dog handler with a knack for picking the wrong women. So much so that his SEAL buddies have planned a Girlfriend Selection Course to test the character of his next love interest. When he falls for the veterinarian rehabilitating his wounded Military Working Dog, things rapidly spiral out of control.

SEAL of Approval is romance meets action in a light-hearted love story with a serious twist. It is dedicated to the Military Working Dogs who have served, loyal and steadfast, alongside their handlers in the world’s deadliest conflict zones.   AMAZON 3 STARS

This was a light, fun adventure with a developing romance.  We are reading about SEALS in a tight team so there will be trainings and dangers.  Axe who is the wounded Military Working dog is also not someone to take lightly. He's been wounded in action .  But he is still a highly trained and skilled weapon as well as a beloved partner to Mike. The relationship between the two was strong and sweet. Axe's attitude does need some adjusting after his injury. But Ali the vet who is helping him has some serious skills and techniques when it comes to dealing with him.  That also includes any P.T.S.D the dog may be suffering from.  

The rest of Mike's SEAL team are just looking out for him when it comes to choosing a good woman the next time.  Having said that, they are often quite juvenile at times.  All in all they are good guys though and you wouldn't want anyone else having your back in a battle.
As it turns out Ali has quite a few unexpected skills as the story goes on.  One in particular helps the team when they are cornered.   Ali's sister Leonie is married with two little girls.  And the more that I think about it she's almost a female Rick when it comes to the conversations that she has about Ali's love life.

Speaking of Rick, if they had to tell him to shut his pie hole once they had to do it a lot.  He had no filter. 
 The story does come to a satisfying end.
