A Navy SEAL on leave. A neuroscientist in danger.
And a dance that might give them a second chance…
Catherine: A stranger has been warning me about my research for the government. My coworkers tell me not to worry, but it bothers me. I can’t let it show, though. This is my first time as a project lead. At least, a weekend wedding in Newport promises a much needed escape.
But when I come face … escape.
But when I come face to face with Angelo DeMarchis, who’s now a SEAL corpsman, that illusion shatters.
He’s the one who got away.
And he’s grown even sexier after all these years.
That’s when I realize I’m in even more trouble.
And once again, the price might be my heart.
Angelo: I’ve needed this leave for a long time, but the memories haunt me no matter where I go.
Even at a wedding–a happy occasion–where I run into a woman from my past.
Catherine has become even hotter since high school. I wouldn’t mind spending every minute I’m home with her.
There’s only one problem.
Her research has gotten her into trouble.
She downplays the warnings, but I’m not buying it.
I have ten days to make sure she’s safe.
She’s mine and I won’t let anyone get to her.
This time I’m playing for keeps.

I haven’t read a non-Paranormal book in quite a while, but since Ms Carlisle is one of my favorite PNR authors, I decided to give it a try and man she didn’t disappoint. This was one helluva story and I can’t wait to read Angelo’s brother Vince’s story.
Can you carry a torch for a guy since you were a teenager 10 years ago? You betcha and I’m not going to let him go back without getting that taste that I missed out on 10 years ago, maybe this way I won’t fantasize about him anymore.
Angelo is a Seal thru and thru, but when he gets a look at that gorgeous maid of honor at his cousins wedding, he starts to rethink his life in the service especially when he discovers that she is his Cate from that long ago time before he enlisted. He never quite forgot her and how is he ever going to forget her now after the time they spend together…..
This is a second chance/military romance between Angelo and Catherine. Angelo and Catherine had a thing many years before and when they reconnected at a wedding the spark was still there. Their journey of love is filled with action, danger, suspense, tension, misunderstandings, drama and romance. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
A new to me author, Ms. Carlisle drew me into a great story with this first book in the new series Anchor Me.
This is the story of Angelo and Catherine. High school sweethearts that were separated by time and distance.
Catherine is a brilliant neuroscientist, she is smart, clever and a bit naive to the ugly side of life. She tries to believe the best in people and doesn’t want to become a nuisance or a burden to anyone.
Angelo, this Navy SEAL is everything that an alpha hero should be. He is loyal and fierce and will do anything to protect the ones he cares about.
When Angelo and Catherine meet again, sparks fly and the chemistry between them is white-hot!
This was a fast-paced story with heat, some thrills, and a bit of humor. It was lovely meeting the whole DeMarchis family in this first story and I can’t wait to see the other brothers’ stories in the future!

Angelo and his brothers were on leave at the same time for a wedding. All three were in the military. He was a medic and a SEAL. Cate was in neuroscience and did research and taught. Her department was getting threats from a man but recently they were becoming more personal towards her. She was a bridesmaid in the wedding. Angelo and Cate had a past. Trying for a future was full of love, danger, risk, anxiety and maybe more trouble than either one was willing to make. Interesting and exciting story

Angelo
Angelo is a Medic with the Navy SEALS on leave to attend a wedding in his hometown of Newport, RI. He is struggling with losing a good friend that he could not save. He is looking to rest, relax and maybe hook-up with a woman. Long term relationships are not for him.
Catherine is a neuroscientist. She is a bridesmaid in her college roommates ’wedding. She is the lead researcher in a new project at work. She wants to succeed. There has been threatening emails and texts to her to stop her research. This is making Cate nervous and alarmed.
Ten years ago, Cate and Angelo briefly dated after high school. Cate thought he was the one, but her left to join the Navy and she went on to school. Today she sees him at the wedding. He is looking better than he did in high school. Could he still be single?
This is a sweet yet suspenseful story of second chances. Can they save each other and be just perfect for each other after ten long years?
This author is one of my favorites. She writes phenomenal paranormal romances. This offering shows how versatile she is writing contemporary romance.
This is a great story that has this perfect bit of suspense swirling around Cate. She’s smart, career minded woman and she keeps getting these letters that keep you wondering. I really like Angelo! He’s a SEAL and home for a wedding. They had this great connection when they were young and seeing each other again definitely gets that spark going again. I couldn’t put it down, it kept me engaged and flipping pages. I enjoyed the read, loved these characters and really looking forward to more from this series!
Loved this second chance romance with Angelo and Catherine who have seen each other for ten years but when they see other at a wedding they reconnect. He is not looking for a relationship and she is not either because she is so involved with her work for the government. When it is clear that someone is after her he can not look the other way so he sets out to protect her and along the way falls for her. There are some twists in this story and will you turning the pages.

Angelo and Catherine
Angelo came home on leave for a wedding and time with the family. He hoped to find a woman to spend a night or two with but he wasn’t planning a relationship. As a SEAL he was gone on dangerous missions. Not a good thing for him or a woman. Then he saw her at the wedding. He danced with her at the wedding. Ten years ago…
Catherine saw him. Danced with him. Was there a chance for them? Not for the long term. Was she willing to spend what time they had just to say goodbye—again?
Not only did they have feelings, she had someone threatening her about her work. Was the threat just a crank or more?
These two are characters to love and cheer for them to be able to work out their problems. His family is fun, loyal, and people I want to read more about. I’m hoping for stories about the other two brothers.
The author has given us a romance with everything, love, steam, family, humor, and characters you respect and love.
Angelo is a Navy Seal home on leave along with his brothers Vince and Matty who are also military, they pick him up at the airport with his parents and they are all staying at their parents house, he has come home for the wedding of a family friend and he meets a young woman who sort of looks familiar but he was intrigued. Catherine has has never forgotten Angelo and to see how he turned out to be more handsome than 10 yrs. ago. But she has made a life for herself but she knows that she is not happy because the one she really wants got away. Second Chance romance is very intriguing and the characters are endearing. Book #1 in the series. I was given an Arc as a gift from author without obligation. I am providing an honest review.
Solid read full of plot, emotion, action and romance as a SEAL and the girl who got away find their second chance. I received an ARC copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.
