I received a complimentary copy of this book and I am voluntarily reviewing it.
I just love this book and the series. Men dedicated to their vows to become the best Seals and to save their women from heartache and their possible distraction from their jobs as Seals. To see that love for their special woman finally win out over the teenage age vow to become exception men is just wonderful. Unfortunately the women had to suffer during this vow. But like in life you never realize how wonderful something is without having gone through the darkness of pain. I highly recommend this book and series.
This is the third novella in the sexy SEAL series and while it can be read on its own, I think the storyline will make more sense if you’ve read the other two books. The series revolves around a vow that the three boys made when they dreamed of becoming SEALs. They vowed to never marry because being a SEAL required a sacrifice that could never be fulfilled if you were married. But as each man realized the foolishness of the vow, they have each tried to reunite with their lost loves. Eli was the last hold out of the vow and this is his story. This was an enjoyable second chance romance as neither Eli or Macy has ever gotten over the other. Of course neither one will admit that is the case. All in all it was a great way to end the series as each of the men appeared in this book with their significant other to help Eli realize his mistake.
I voluntarily read an ARC of this novella.
A SEAL’s Surprise by Tawny Weber
Sexy SEAL Series #3
Eli and Macy have a past – one that left them both less than satisfied when Eli broke up with her years ago. Meeting up again at a wedding, her wanting to make it special for her best friend and him thinking the wedding a mistake could lead to trouble. What if the chemistry is still there? What if feelings have not died? What if…there is a possibility for a future for the two of them if one of them finally takes his blinders off?
Fun little novella that looks at the notion of love and marriage being compatible with being a SEAL and also questions whether a vow made early in life is still valid later on when more facts have been attained pertinent to that vow.
Thank you to the author for the ARC – this is my honest review.
4 Stars
Another great story in Tawny Weber’s Sexy SEAL Novella series!
This time we get a closer look at Eli Spencer and Macy Berk. Macy is doing her best in a difficult situation. As the event planner for her friend’s wedding, a friend who is marrying a SEAL, Macy must come face-to-face with the man (Eli) who broke her heart years ago due to his misguided vow of not allowing himself to be committed to anything but being a Navy SEAL. He believed being involved with Macy would be a distraction that he could not have to be a successful SEAL.
I really loved Macy’s character – she’s determined, funny and resourceful! She’s a woman who can stand on her own two feet and has built a successful business for herself.
Eli Spencer – ok, he’s my least favorite character in this story but maybe it’s because I’m so busy cheering for Macy! Or, is it because even though this is his sister’s wedding and she’s marrying a SEAL, Eli is still of the opinion that her wedding is a huge mistake? Even though his fellow SEALs have found love and are still performing at their best, Eli still believes he’s right to have no commitments except the Navy and expects his friends to feel the same way.
Would Macy and the other characters convince Eli that there’s more to life than just being a SEAL? Can they show him that balance in your life is important?
This is the kind of story that draws you in and keeps you riveted from start to finish just to see how it will end!
