Backlash by Traci Hunter Abramson

Another series that I love!  The Saint Squad is awesome!  I hope there's a real one out there.  This one is centered on Kel and his wife.  You hear mention of them before, when everyone was single, and wonder how they got together.  I was very excited to find out!  At the point of the book, they have been married five years and are having a few troubles, because Marilyn really doesn't like Kel being a Navy SEAL.  After hearing her backstory, it's easy to see why!  Her mom doesn't help matters.  She writes in her spare time to help think through things and keeps it a secret, due to her lack of self-esteem.  Her husband getting shot in the leg on a mission makes it so that they have the opportunity to spend a lot more time together and really get to know each other (which they obviously skipped).  I found this book very realistic, except for the part where he only got broth and jello at the hospital.  He wasn't going in for surgery and only had a bullet in his leg, does that really call for a lack of food?  Either way, it was a fantastic book and I'm very glad I bought the next one at the same time, so I can get started on it.  The only problem is that once you start her books, it's hard to put them down and move away.  Sorry kids, mom's reading today!
