IN UNIFORM

A woman in the SEALs?

Lieutenant Tabitha Chapel is determined to become the first woman to join the navy SEALs. She'll use every connection she has (and she has plenty), and wile (feminine or otherwise) and her substantial strength of will to make this happen.

Not in this man's navy!

Commander Marc Miller is equally determined to keep women in general—and Tabitha Chapel in particular—out of the SEALs. There are a lot of things he'd like to do with Tabby, and being her commanding officer isn't one of them.

But the commander is about to learn that Tabby's woman enough to take everything he doles out and more….

5.0 out of 5 stars A realistic romance...a great read!, March 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: SEAL It with a Kiss: In Uniform (Harlequin Superromance, No. 833) (Paperback)

I have read A LOT of romance novels from several different authors, but this is the first one that has stayed with me for weeks. It's romantic, of course, (I could feel the romance between Marc and Tabby in my heart for days!) but it's also realistic. It's sexy without being sappy; humorous without being corny; and descriptive without being boring.

What I truly liked was the fact that as a civilian (with absolutely no knowledge of any policies or procedures of the military), I could read and follow the action. She used military terms as they would be used, then carefully explained them in the following sentences.

This is a gifted author who has (hopefully) just begun. Read "SEAL it with a Kiss" and find out why!

Ms. Brewer: KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

5.0 out of 5 stars A fast paced Navy romance charged with sexual tension., March 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: SEAL It with a Kiss: In Uniform (Harlequin Superromance, No. 833) (Paperback)

Commander Marc Miller is everything a hero should be. The tension sizzles as he goes toe-to-toe with Lt. Tabby Chapel. Her goal is to complete a feasibility study to prove women can make it in the SEAL's, and his mission is to prove otherwise.

Ms.Brewer has done her homework. The military details are authentic. Every secondary character in the book rings true with a unique voice, from Manny the bartender to Hugh the cocky instructor.

A fast paced read, charged with sexual tension, a compelling plot and lots of humor. If that isn't enough, Marc Miller is featured on the cover, and as described in the book, he's one heck of a man in uniform!

5.0 out of 5 stars powerful military romance, February 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: SEAL It with a Kiss: In Uniform (Harlequin Superromance, No. 833) (Paperback)

Women need not apply is the motto of the Navy SEALs. So when Lieutenant Tabitha Chapel reports for duty at the Naval Special Warfare Center in Coronado, California, Commander Marc Miller is not just unhappy. He is irate. Marc cannot understand what strings Tabitha pulled to get her the assignment of potentially being the first female SEAL. However, Marc plans to insure that her persoanl goal is not achieved under his watch.

Marc tries to force her out of his command using two fronts. He cuts no slack, expecting her to work at the same competency level as the guys and he works her reassignment through the chain-of-command. However, he finds Tabitha exceeding the standards and her powerful connections reject his efforts to move her elsewhere. As he begins to admire her tenacity and effort, he reassesses his original position on women in the SEALs. He also finds himself falling in love with his subordinate, a feeling that Tabitha shares with her superior officer. Life has become extremely complex as they want each other, but his position will not allow a relationship, nor will her goal.

Rogenna Brewer writes a fabulous military romance that will garner the author many accolades from sub-genre fans. The exciting story line demonstrates that if someone wants something strongly enough, they will move the planet without a lever to achieve it. However, SEAL IT WITH A KISS is clearly a character-driven tale as the tug of war between tradition and the breaking down of artificial barriers are seen through the eyes, hearts, and minds of the lead protagonists. The "In Uniform" series constantly keeps the bar of excellence at a very high level and this novel attains that lofty monthly achievement.
