A review by rellimreads
New Years SEAL Dream by Sharon Hamilton
3.0
I actually have the series box set in ebook & audio. But I’m going to review each novella individually. These novellas follow the same couple and build off events from previous books - so you want to listen/read them in order. They’re probably best fit for those in the mood for short & simple stories.
2.5⭐️ - rounded up for narration.
This was kind of all over the place. A lot of random things packed into a novella that I guess is intended to tease the whole series which follows a single couple. Also - this is a spin-off from another series (or two?) that I’ve never read and a LOT of characters from those were mentioned. I’m wondering if some of this would have made more sense if I was already familiar with the previous books.
Tucker (39) isn’t entirely likable - fairly superficial, misogynistic, and grumpy. I guess he’s meant to finally “grow up” or something, but it didn’t really happen other than a proclamation at the end.
Brandy is younger (24) and comes off as flaky and sort of drifting in figuring out what she wants to do.
They basically have a drunken hook-up after a friends’ wedding that spins into something more.
I’m not sure I would continue if I didn’t already own the whole set. But I am interested to see how Hamilton continues with the plots teased.
This is my first time listening to JD Hart. I really enjoyed his performance. He has the grisly/growly voices perfect for the male characters and I still enjoy his female ones.
