SEAL Endeavor by Sharon Hamilton
SEAL Brotherhood 1.5. Prequel novella. Teaser and setup for the full story.
Navy SEAL Calvin Cooper is shopping for a drone when he spots Libby Brownlee across a room and he begins to spin a fantasy. But they don’t actually meet at the moment. Cooper thinks he sees her a few more times over the two days but isn’t really sure it’s the same woman.

Just a teaser short to introduce Cooper and Libby.
Not a romance or even a full story. It is an intro only.

[Eniko · Rating 5 out of 5]

A short, but good intro for the main characters in the next full length novel "Fallen SEAL Legacy" in the SEAL Brotherhood series. Coop and Libby have numerous almost-meets, but fate steps in and they don't get a chance to even talk. They both make a huge impression on each other so hopefully they get their chance in the full novel. Can't wait to start reading it.
I would recommend the series to anybody.

Cooper, a SEAL three medic, and Freedo, a fellow SEAL member, travel to buy a prototype drone from a private seller and keep getting glimpses of Libby and her friend Megan.

This is a short teaser intro to a series that ends with a cliffhanger grab for the next full length installment. My brief opening sentence of this review pretty much sums up this book.

this short prequel to the 2nd book in the exciting SEAL brotherhood series is very enjoyable, we are introduced to the characters who will be in the full length book Fallen Seal Legacy. These SEALs just keep getting better

I borrowed SEAL Endeavor ~ SEAL, Brotherhood ~ Book 1.5, by Sharon Hamilton, author from the Kindle Unlimited Program on Amazon.

Two of SEAL Team 3, Fredo and Coop, take a trip to San Jose for Coop to purchase a high tech drome and go see the Montery Bay Aquarium. After purchasing the drome, they go to a local resturant and Coop spots a woman that catches his eye; she is with an older gentleman. He sees her again at the aquarium and then the beach the next day but doesn't get a chance to talk to her. A man can dream, can't he as he returns to duty in San Diego and SEAL training. This is a prequel for the next book in the series.

SEAL Endeavor

This very short intro to Cooper and Libby was about how even though they were meant to meet, the timing was not just right. Not this first time that they crossed paths. Fate had more in-store for them in the future. Though this glimpse introduces several people for this upcoming series.

While Coop and Fredo are looking for a drone for Coop, he see's a woman that catches his eye. Libby happens to see Coop as well while she's out with her advisor and her friend another time. With their chance glances will they ever get the chance to chat with one another?

[Jo-Ann Fitzgerald · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great book with a believable hero and heroine. Ver how the hero lived and had his portable wheels with him. The plot was enjoyable and surprises aplenty. Good read and you really got to meet the other seals. Can't wait for more...

[Robin is it summer yet · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well written but nothing at all to this book. Just a set up that really isn’t needed.

[MJ4S · Rating 3 out of 5]

Since this is a prequel novella to book #2, it's quite promising. I liked that they had so many close encounters :)

[Michelle Graves · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was 2 damn short!! It's funny how destiny/fate keeps on messing with certain people.

A fun introduction to characters in the SEAL Brotherhood series

Having not yet read any books in the SEAL Brotherhood series, part of me wondered how this short story prequel would stand on its own. A contemporary piece, set in "our" world, this is not a story that requires a lot of world building... yet it seems to capture both University life for Libby and her surrounding characters, as well as military/ SEAL life for Coop and Fredo.

A quick, relaxing read, that includes a trip to the beach... reading this, in a way, felt like a cross between spending a day with the characters, and going on vacation with them.

I suspect this short story enriches the world of these characters, but it did not feel like anything happened here that would be critical to the enjoyment of other books in the series.

[Mary Roya · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a short story. It really caught my interest. I enjoyed the strong male characters and their interaction. Everything weaves well into good story. But the ending was unsatisfactory. I was expecting an ending. Not a HEA, but something type of resolution. Thankfully, the ending is not a cliff hanger. I am going to get the next book. I am really looking for more great stories from this author.

This book tells how Cooper and Libby almost met. I was gifted the boxed set so my review will be the same for both. This book focuses on Cooper. Hes 6'4 and is the medic of Team 3. He is also super cheap! This book doesn't leave anything out. There is action, romance, lust, love and sadly tragedy. I loved everything about this book. I couldn't put this book down....its that serious. GREAT READ!! Love the series!

[Carey Decevito · Rating 4 out of 5]

This tiny short does great things to set up for its sequel in that it has literally left me hanging off my seat waiting for more which I'll no doubt be reading to find out if Mr. Calvin Cooper does get the woman. I expect loads of action, heat and some chasing since Ms. Hamilton surely has not disappointment me with Books 1, 2 and 3 of her SEAL Brotherhood series.

[Conny · Rating 3 out of 5]

I got this book as a free download and, like all of Sharon Hamilton's books, I liked it. I was disappointed that it was so short because I wanted more, but I guess that was the object of the book to introduce us to the main characters. I can't wait to find out what will actually happen to the pair once they meet and I am confident that I will love that book.

[Sherry Haynes · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was included in the Brotherhood Series-Set Two with Fallen SEAL Legacy.

Once again Hamilton has made sure to include a real quick novella to highlight how the relationship began with Libby and Coop (Cooper). Real quick to read but not a must to read to understand the Fallen SEAL Legacy novel.

[Cheryl Sanders · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is not meant to be a stand alone short story! This short introduces us to characters from the next full length novel, Fallen SEAL Legacy. The background information was helpful when reading the full length novel.

[Kimberlie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Now that I know the prequels are only 4 chapters long, I don't have expectations of a full length novel. This gives a taste of Cooper and Libby before their story. I'm a little disappointed that they didn't actually MEET, exactly like Kyle and Christy, but that's nitpicking. On to the story...

[Jenni Copeland Belanger · Rating 5 out of 5]

Funny but sad

Great short story.. I love how many times they just missed each other. Serendipity is a fickle thing. Going to read the next book to see what happens when these too actually come face to face!!! Funny how life is !

[Jean · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very short

This book was very short and not much of a read - just 2 people who kept getting glances of each other. No romance, no action, nothing. Glad I got it for free or I would have been very mad.

[Jackie · Rating 2 out of 5]

This teaser for Cooper and Libby would have been better served to have been part of their full length story in the book that tells their romance tale.

For me it was not pointless writing or reading but not something gripping or enticing enough either.

[Rosemary · Rating 5 out of 5]

A short introduction to the couple Libby Brownlee and Calvin Cooper who "meet" accidentally on a trip well Libby sees a tall muscular man in multiple places but doesn't get to actually meet until Fallen SEAL Legacy where there are obstacles in their way to an HEA.

[Dena · Rating 4 out of 5]

I cannot wait for the next book. This totally left me wanting for more lucky I just bought the next book. Woo hooooooo

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good into teaser for the second book.

[Julianna · Rating 3 out of 5]

prequel that explains an almost meet between coop and libby. I think it would have been better though just attached as the main novel instead of having it be totally separate.

[Greeneyes Belle28 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really good

[Dakota Storm · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very short wished it was longer ...enjoyed Coop and Libby's characters but thought it ended to quick ....

[Ronda Bearden · Rating 5 out of 5]

Looking forward to more in this series! I love the excitement in the situation that come up and trying to figure out who is involved and connected to the trouble.
