The storyline was well written and the characters were so well developed that as each and every page was turned Sierra and Tony pulled me right into their journey as it effortlessly unfolded!
Great read. Unexpected twists and turns. Realistic. I love the characters. Great plot. Connie Y Harris knows how to tell a story. I couldn’t stop reading. Great ending. I am looking forward to more books by this author.
A great story that’s a captivating read. The characters are strong and likable, the suspense and romance keep you turning the pages to see what happens next. You’ll love reading the journey and love story of Sierra and Tony.

The last thing ex-SEAL turned ER nurse Tony Franco expected was to learn there’s a bounty on his head. Keeping it from his SEAL buddies, for the time being, is his only coping mechanism but all that changes when he meets Zumba instructor Sierra Sanchez at his friend’s wedding. He’s drawn to her and there’s something about her he can’t shake. He finds comfort in her arms and the more he’s around her, the more he realizes how much danger she’s in. He vows to protect her, with his own life if he has to, but can he promise her forever when he doesn’t know if they’ll be alive tomorrow?
A Bounty on Forever is a fantastic romantic suspense with sizzling chemistry and an adrenaline-filled plot. I’m a sucker for a protective SEAL and an independent take-no-guff heroine. The characterizations of both Sierra and Tony are in-depth and by the end of the story, they became a part of me. The romance starts out as enemies-to-lovers but eventually rolls into full-fledge romantic suspense. The suspense subplot blends beautifully with the romance. The realistic aspects of the story (military, SEALs, Zumba) is 100% accurate and adds to the overall story. Well researched, well written and perfectly paced makes this a must-read. Highly recommend, especially for fans of Sandra Brown.
Favorite Character/Quote: Sierra. Her spirit and spunk drew me to her right away. The fact she didn’t like Tony’s antics and playboy attitude in the beginning only solidified my connecting with her. Incredibly brave woman and one many women will relate to.
My Rating: 5 stars
Found it lacking:
Whilst there were enjoyable aspects to this book, overall it unfortunately fell flat. A number of aspects felt improbable and unrealistic such as just telling Tony that there was a bounty on his head and that the assassins had crossed the border already and then just leaving without offering witness protection or some other assistance. Further editing is also required as there were times when the timeline didn’t quite add up or two different versions of an event were given as if the author forgot to delete one of them. Other times I think key events were cut which resulted in it being a little disjointed, with the details not always lining up such as Siera recognizing the woman from the pet shop when no such incident had been relayed. However I did think that the story line moved along at a fairly good pace and I was eager to find out what was going to happen next.
It would have been nice to see more romance and wooing between Tony and Siera and in fact they spent the majority of the book apart. I didn’t really feel a connection to either of them which was a pity.
