I enjoyed Mary-Margret Daughtridge's first book, "SEALed with a Kiss" so much, I was really looking forward to "SEALed with a Promise" her second release from Sourcebooks Casablanca. Once I got it, I eagerly settled in for a readathon. The first part of the book was great. SEAL Caleb, 'Do Lord', and his team (which included the hero from the first book) are assigned to take out a terrorist threatening to kill a Congressman visiting one of the 'Stans. Turns out that the visiting Congressman is a...more

This book had an exciting beginning that certainly grabbed my attention. A team of SEALs are called on to guard visiting US politician Teague Calhoun in Kandahar from a potential assassination attempt. But the SEAL acting as a sniper and charged with taking out the assassin has thoughts of taking out the Senator himself--will he do it, or do his duty? And why would he want to kill this politician and throw his life away--what has this man done to him to make him feel this way?

Oh, where to begin...
Well, "SEALed With A Promise" by Mary Margret Daughtridge started out with a bang and hooked me right away. Sharpshooter Navy SEAL Caleb Delaude is sent to protect the very man he's vowed to kill, Senator Teague Calhoun. He does indeed protect him in the line of duty, but sets into motion a plan to exact revenge on his own time. Enter Emmie Caddington, an intelligent, quirky professor (think Amy Farrah Fowler from "The Big Bang Theory") who just happens to be Caleb's link to...more

What the f**k is wrong with female romance writers today? can someone please tell me?
you read one book with insecure female, once i can let it slide but the second time is just bordering on stupidity and no imagination. i judge this writer, i point and jugde. i dont care if its rude. what i hate the most is that most romance writers are insecure themselves and so create characters that match thier insecurity just so they can live out some fantasy that a beautiful woman with a great rack who is o...more

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...more

This is the second in a series, and for some reason, this story grabbed me. It is one of my new favorite contemporaries. The characters are intelligent (there was some Amazon discussion about how the author beat us over the head with this fact, but that seems to be a theme with her other titles as well), and faced morally questionable situations. I found the banter witty and I really like how the hero and heroine come out changed for the better on the other side. I found the situation that broug...more

I was looking forward to reading more of this series by moving on to book 2. While I did enjoy the story over all, I didn't breeze through it as quickly as I did the first book. I felt like the characters weren't as developed as I'd have liked them to be. I didn't get a chance to really love Emmie and Caleb.
For that matter, I didn't see them 'fall in love' either. One of my favorite parts of reading a romance novel is to se...more

Mary Margret Daughtridge has done it again with her second novel SEALed with a Promise. I read her debut novel SEALed with a Kiss last year after I won it from [a href="http://www.bookbinge.com"]Book Binge[/a:] and I fell in love with Jax and Pickett. Jax and Pickett are now getting married and Caleb "Do Lord" Delaude and Emmie Caddington are their best man and maid of honor respectively. After Caleb observes Jax and Pickett's happiness with each other can't help but feel a little jealousy...more
I love a good “Men in Uniform” love story. Anything from firefighters to military men, but my favorite is definately Navy SEALs. I think what really draws me to them is their whole take charge, protective, and stubborn attitudes. Plus, I love the whole suspenseful plots in a lot of the stories I read.
At first I thought Caleb “Do-Lord” Delaude and Emmie Caddington were an odd match. Emmie was against everything Caleb is: a SEAL and Caleb thought Emmie was too “plain” for him and yet she intruged...more

I don't normally read this kind of stuff (stuff being romance novels) but I couldn't pass it up when the main characters' names were Emmy (a derivative of my own name) and Caleb (my boyfriend's name). To top it all off, the "Caleb" of the story just so happens to be a Navy SEAL - exactly what my guy wants to be! It was funny just for that, but I don't think I'll be reading anymore bawdy romance novels any time soon.
This book picks up a few months after SEALed with a Kiss, part of the beginning happens during Jax and Pickett's wedding. Do-Lord and Emma are great together. I love the way he falls for her. There are alot of emotions in this book as well. There were a couple of areas where I felt like there could have been more detail or the solution was to easy/cut and dried. But it was still a great read.
I LOVED seeing Tyler, Jax and Pickett in this book again.

I was disappointed in this book. The first book in the series, Sealed with a Kiss, was wonderful and I expected great things from this one, but it had a really slow start. Caleb isn't all that exciting until Jax's wedding then the romance gets started and instantly is in trouble. Emmie just go on my nerves. She's very insecure and has a makeover and is instantly flirtatious and confident. That's just not realistic at all.

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