5 Reasons Readers Love Navy SEALs
Romance readers love Navy SEALs. Just search Amazon and you’ll see how many books feature military heroes, many of whom are SEALs.
What makes these dedicated men worthy of a leading role in romantic fiction? Here are my top five reasons.
Navy SEALs are selfless. These dedicated warriors pledge their service and loyalty to team members and their country. Every woman dreams of falling in love with a man who pledges his loyalty and dedication.
Navy SEALs are prime male specimens. SEAL candidates must pass a strict physical fitness exam that includes swimming, pushups (50 in two minutes), situps, pullups and running. They must then remain in top physical condition. The washboard abs and rock-hard muscles are a bonus that fuel readers’ vivid imaginations.
Navy SEALs are special. No, really. Candidates are among the top 1% of service members. There are about 2,500 active duty SEALs and less than 250 pass the training each year.
Navy SEALs never quit. Those who make it through BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demotion/SEAL) training, a grueling regimen which only about 20% complete, prove they have grit, perseverance, focus and commitment.
Navy SEALs are selective. It takes a special woman to penetrate the tough-guy shell most Navy SEALs wear. Who else but a strong, sexy, intelligent woman is worthy of a hero?
