Man, there were a few twists in this book for sure. The way they finally admitted how they want to be with each other is so sweet and ornery that I got a toothache from it. I recommend a good romance twist with unique characters for sure.

Coming to Her Rescue is a stand alone, military romance. Jake and Hanna have known each other for years, but it’s not until a chance meeting at a bachelor auction that they finally act on their connection. But Jake is driven to be the best SEAL he can be, and that doesn’t mean being distracted by love. When Hanna’s life is in danger, Jake realizes he’ll do anything to keep her safe. Will they be able to stay safe while they overcome issues from their pasts?
I enjoyed reading Jake and Hanna’s rocky and exciting relationship. Their emotions will completely take you on a rollercoaster ride with lots of highs and a few lows and even a dangerous curve or two! Hanna’s job has put her in danger, but she’s resilient, strong, and while she doesn’t always think her actions all the way through, she’s one to apologize and help others any way she can. Jake honestly started to annoy me, as he would open up and take emotionally from Hanna, but then realize it was a mistake for his ultimate SEAL mission and close all back up again. It happened… a lot. But I really enjoyed the connection you could feel between Jake and Hanna, I loved the drama and danger they were involved in, and enjoyed the overall storyline.
Hanna is a therapist and is being auctioned off at a charity event. Jake is a Navy SEAL and owes a friend a favor, so he’s at a banquet, in a tux. He sees one of his buddies sister being auctioned, he bids on her and wins a date. Hanna is hoping to find a husband but it’s Jake who wins her. They spend a night together but Jake doesn’t want a relationship because his main focus is his job. Hanna goes to Tokyo for three weeks and when she gets back, Jake is picking her up. Someone starts shooting at them and Jake saves them. But they are not giving up so Jake takes her to a safe house. When she takes a pregnancy test and realize she’s pregnant, she tells Jake. Jake is surprised and scared but he has to keep them all alive then he’ll figure everything else out.
Action and sex. Jake isn’t looking for love or family and Hanna has a checklist of what she wants in a husband. Great story.

I enjoyed this story! I always love a story that contains a hot SEAL! This was a fun story to read with great characters. The protective SEAL wins his buddies sister at the “SoCal Turtle Conservation Mission’s” charity auction. This story starts off with a bit of a bidding frenzy and turns fun and romantic with some suspense, murder and danger thrown in. Very enjoyable story!!
When Jake didn’t take his chance to kiss Hanna 5 years ago he’s regretted it since. Now he has the chance again and to save her on their journey of reconnecting. When things go bad will their chemistry in close quarters take over?
Second chance romance that has you feeling good.

This is my first book that I have read by both Leslie North & Katie Knight & I loved it. There b is so much more than 2 falling in love. There is a lot of tense action & physical & psychological emotion on both sides for Seal Jake & Psychologist Hanna who is the younger sister of his friend & Seal compadre Tyler. Hanna & Jake met after his & Tyler had their passing out/training ended.
And its from that 1st meeting their connection is hot & deep & it’s even more so when they see each other again 5 yrs later & its from that day forward things change for them in ways they weren’t expected. Especially when Hanna returns a few weeks after her appointment in Japan.
Come & see how things turn out between the 2 of them & what happens unexpectedly for them….

Hanna and Jake had chemistry 5 years ago after he graduated SEALS BUD/S training with her brother Tyler. They had an almost kiss back then. Fast forward 5 years and Jake finds himself at a charity auction to support one of his friends and ends up bidding on Hanna to keep her away from the drunk guys bidding on her. Jake doubles the current bid and wins Hanna. Hanna is disappointed because she was hoping she would meet her future husband but instead she gets by the books SEAL. After going on a “date that night” Hanna hopes maybe Jake, who is on a 40 day leave, will want to spend more time together. Without doing anything, Hanna ends up being a target and Hanna and Jake are forced together, him in protector mode, but can they be together and not act on their amazing chemistry?

Coming to Her Rescue by Katie Knight and Leslie North is the story of Hanna Masterson and Jake Hendrix.
Hanna’s brother is a Navy Seal and she has always been attracted to his fellow friend/Seal Partner Jake. But she knows he isn’t a long term relationship person nor would he be anything like that toward her. So she is putting herself out there to find her someone which leads her to a charity auction. Jake happens to attend the auction and goes forward to bid and buy her for the date. Which leads them to one hot encounter but of course Jake pulls away the next day. A few weeks past and they meet again when he sent to pick her up but it leads to them being ambushed and Jake goes into protective mode.
Enjoyed their hot story.
A well written story filled with suspense, twists and turns, danger plus hot sex to boot.
The characters were well developed and I have a weakness for a good military romance/suspense
and Ms Knight delivered an amazing story.
Hanna was his friend’s sister who in one of the bachelorette to be auctions off for charity.
When Jake saw her, he couldn’t believe how gorgeous she’s become and hearing how the other
bidders were talking about her, he bid on her and won.
Instead of being happy, Hanna was mad cause she wanted to meet a more grounded man who will
eventually form a relationship.
They had an amazing night together but Jake backed off and in turn, Hanna became pregnant.
When it came time to let Jake know, one of her high profiled client was murdered and her life is in danger.
Seeing this, Jake took action and led her to a safe house.
Will Jake keep her safe?
Will they have their well deserved HEA?

Will Jake save Hanna?
This is my 1st book by the author and absolutely loved this story about Jake and Hanna. Jake is a Navy SEAL on leave when he attends a charity auction as a favor for a fellow SEAL. What he is surprised to see, is another SEAL’s sister up for auction, so to save her from the other bidders, he outbids them all. But what starts out as a simple date, soon turns into a true SEAL mission to keep Hanna safe. Will Jake allow Hanna to get through his trained defenses? You have to read to find out and won’t want to put the book down.
I enjoyed reading this story because you get to go along for the ride as this couple go up and down on the roller coaster of love. They are together, then they are apart, they are together, apart. It was understandable why the heroine had abandonment issues and why the hero felt he had to devote 100% of his attention to one thing or else he will fail. It was nice seeing how they both came to the conclusion that they really belong together.
Hanna’s older brother is a SEAL. When he graduated to become a SEAL he brought home some guys from the graduating class. She really liked one, Jake, and they almost kissed, but he backed out. It felt like he rejected her. Her father had left before she was even born, so she was sensitive to rejection. She finished college and became a psychologist. She was now 27 and she knew that she needed to find the man she wanted to marry soon before it was too late. She had a checklist of what she wanted in her mate. She hadn’t been any any successful relationships, maybe because she kept comparing them to Jake. She was in a charity bachelor/bachelorette auction hoping that she would meet Mr. Right, she ended up with Jake. They had a nice date, but then he pulled his usual and rejected her, again. What is a girl supposed to do?
Jake is a Navy SEAL. He has been for five years now. When he was young, he was supposed to be watching out for his younger sister at a pool party when he got distracted by his crush. His sister almost drowned, if it hadn’t been for some adults that performed CPR on her. Since then, he realized that he would have to give 100% of his attention to whatever it is he did. If he was distracted, bad things would happen. As a SEAL, he felt he could never have a relationship because he would be distracted and he could either get himself or someone on his team killed. He felt he could never marry and have kids as long as he was a SEAL and he planed on being a SEAL until he retired, so no wife or kids in his future. When he went to the charity bachelor/bachelorette auction that his fellow SEAL was involved in, he saw some of the men who were pigs, who should have been at a strip club with all the respect they were giving the women. When the pigs started bidding on Hannah, he knew that he couldn’t allow them to win the bidding for her. When she saw who won the bidding, she remembered the rejection of the kiss and then thought that her brother told him to do it to protect her. When he told her the truth about the pigs, and then about how he regretted not kissing her and how he actually wanted to go to her later that night, she sort of understood that it wasn’t a rejection as much as how he felt about not getting involved while he was a SEAL. After their memorable date under the stars, he realized that nothing has changed in that he didn’t have anything to offer her as long as he was a SEAL. Weeks later when he goes to apologize, they find out that she is in the middle of some bad stuff. One of her patients has been murdered and had left a message that if anything happens to him, that he left something for her that would explain what happened to him. After being shot at, Jake takes to being her protection and using his connections to get her into hiding until someone can decrypt the flash drive left to her.
You have to find out what happens in hiding and how they work things out.

3.5 stars–COMING TO HER RESCUE by Katie Knight is another instalment in the author’s series focusing on the US Navy SEALs. This is Navy SEAL Jake Hendrix, and therapist Hanna Masterson’s story line. All of Katie’s SEAL stories can be read as stand alone without any difficulty.
Told from dual third person perspective (Jake and Hanna) COMING TO HER RESCUE follows the best friend’s little sister relationship between Navy SEAL Jake Hendrix, and therapist Hanna Masterson. Jake was invited to a bachelorette auction but was shocked when one of the contestants was his fellow SEAL’s little sister Hanna Masterson. Overhearing the rude and sexually explicit comments from the other bachelors in the audience Jake makes the winning bid to protect Hanna from the a potential disaster but Hanna isn’t impressed when she discovers Jake is the winning bid. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Jake and Hanna, and the potential fall-out as Hanna is targeted for who she is, and who she knows.
Hanna Masterson is twenty six years old and believes she will find her soul-mate at the charity bachelorette auction but what she never anticipated was her life-long crush, a man who rejected her years before. Hanna made a list of attributes for a potential mate but Jake didn’t check all of the boxes including family and future stability. Jake Hendrix doesn’t do relationships: constantly on duty and ready to go at a moments notice, Jake isn’t willing to force any partner to deal with the emotional ramifications of going it –alone.
The relationship between Jake and Hanna is one of immediate attraction but Jake’s rejection of Hanna years earlier still hurts, a hurt Hanna struggles to forget. But one night together results in an unplanned pregnancy, and Jake finds himself protector of the woman with whom he will fall in love, and the child she now carries. When threats against Hanna become violent and physical, Jake calls in help from people he knows.
COMING TO HER RESCUE is a story of family, heart break, betrayal and control. The premise is engaging; the characters are energetic; the romance struggles in the face of indecision, and the back and forth emotional upheaval of want, need, independence and control. The conflict resolution was a little too clean and neat- I was hoping for something more.
An auction, a hook up, a pregnancy and a safe house.
Jake Hendrix is a SEAL, he loves the ladies but is committed only to his job. He ends up at an auction at the Hotel Coronado.
And ends up bidding on Hanna Masterson, his buddy’s sister.
Hanna is not happy Jake bud on her. She’s was hoping to meet her future husband, not Jake. He’s everything she doesn’t want, as in not into commitment, only good for a one night stand.
Well, they do the one night stand and he knocks her up. Now, they are on the run and hiding out in a safe house, but Jake still won’t commit. Will he ever man up?
Recommend.

One other time I read this author with it having a Seal that caught my attention. Jake and Hanna entertain you in this one with it starting out with Jake thinking one thing but boy was he wrong. Since this has a mix of elements along with the hot chemistry we are given suspense also. These are the kinds that keep me turning the pages. Sometimes though I wanted to push Jake along but some elements pull you forward also. This is a full story that does not skimp giving you everything you look for in a good riveting read. It also reminded me that the other one I had read by her also was a factor why I knew I would like this one.
This was an enjoyable jaunt. Hannah is strong but vulnerable. Jake came across more egotistical until we are privy to his thoughts. They made him more engaging. Liked the mystery that flowed through the suspense. Several pages of sizzliñg bed scenes, but alas those are not what I read for. HEA. All in all a quick enjoyable romp. Thank you for the arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
