HER GUARDED HERO By Caitlyn O’Leary
This is the 5th book in the Black Dawn Series. This story brings us Dalton Sullivan, who is a Navy Seal and Aurora Chance who rehabilitates horses on her family ranch. Dalton is mourning the loss of his daughter at the hands of his drunken wife. He has no intention of ever being in a relationship again. While he is vacationing at Lake Tahoe, he stumbles upon Aurora who had just had an accident that could have killed her. Dalton soon realizes her accident was not an accident. Dalton stays at the ranch to investigate who wants to kill Aurora and why.
Caitlyn O’Leary brings us a visit with past favorites from the Black Dawn Seal Team. I always know with one of her books, I am getting a story with lots of action, suspense, rom/com, and the characters are awesome and you care about them. Aurora and Dalton have lots of chemistry. I very much enjoyed this story. I wholeheartedly give this 5 stars.
Having read a couple of her books now I try and grab one every so often. I like the way the story travels taking us on the adventure up close and personal. Also usually the spot is right on for that time away from it all like in this one. Dalton and Aurora give us a good one in this one with surprise right from the start. The drama and danger will slowly build with us slowly creeping along and at times it will explode with us holding our breaths. This is also a story about trust and how it builds and with what scarifies happen. Healing will also have to come so love can come in. I really enjoyed this one and the path it took me.
Aurora Chance is a horse rancher in Lake Tahoe, living at Valhalla with her grandfather. Dalton Sullivan is a Black Dawn SEAL, seeking a place of calm while on leave, when Aurora literally falls at his feet. Someone’s trying to hurt, if not kill, her, and Dalton needs to do what he can to keep her safe. Although he knows he’s not capable of having a relationship, he and Aurora connect on a deeply, intimate level. Once the threat to Aurora is neutralized, Dalton returns to his “real” life. But, will that be the last time Aurora and Dalton have together and is Aurora now safe? There is definitely more to their story.
This is an intriguing, suspenseful romance; full of emotions, drama, and steamy passion. There is heartache, that will bring you to tears, threats to life, both obvious and obscure, and a love affair destined for more. The action is fast-paced and engaging. You will fall in love with Aurora and Dalton and will be drawn into their story from beginning to end. I highly recommend this very enjoyable read!
Read this story as part of the “Love Under Siege” anthology.
Her Guarded Hero is another 5 star read by Caitlyn O’Leary. This book is centered around Dalton, a U. S. Navy SEAL and Aurora, a horse whisperer. Dalton meets Aurora when he is hiking around Lake Tahoe and hears gunshots, followed by a woman struggling to maintain control of a runaway stallion. Without revealing any spoilers, I can only say that as the chemistry between them crackles, someone is hatching a sinister plan that places Aurora in imminent peril. This book has wonderful characters, romance, suspense and an HEA ending. This author takes her gift of words and writes exceptional plots with enough romance and suspense to satisfy the pickiest reader.

ONE INCREDIBLY AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!!
OMG! Man, talk about duck and run. This is one exciting, action packed, heart pounding, pulse racing, nailbiting, smooth flowing, page turning bombshell that’s as riveting as it is captivating. All the drama, fear, uncertainty, hope, love, danger and suspense increases steadily as the tension spirals while the plot thickens. A whirlwind of emotions and events that really pulls those heartstrings. Twists and turns, ins and outs, ups and downs, along with a few unexpected circumstances and unpredictable surprises around every corner make for one phenomenal experience. The two main characters chemistry and strong connection adds such depth and individuality. They make an amazing couple. You can’t help but love them. The scenes are so graphic and detailed it’s easy to picture each scenario as they play off one another in perfect balance. Caitlyn did an excellent job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Fantastic job Caitlyn, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
This action packed romance also offers plenty of emotion tension, drama, suspense and heat. Aurora and Dalton were great characters that were well developed and likable. The storyline is engaging and moving. It was a pleasure to witness the connection and affection growing between these characters. Dalton’s Heartbreaking and painful past is sure to make your heartache but Aurora is truly just what he needs whether he knows it or not. Simply a wonderful read.
I love this book Dalton Sullivan is taking time off in the forests around Lake Tahoe and that is where his adventure begins……Someone is out to kill Aurora Chance. Can Dalton save her? This book has it all …it is a must read
Fantastic!
I enjoy a feel good story that also includes a lot of action and suspense.
Aurora runs a rehab facility on the family ranch that takes in abused and neglected horses. She is a real life horse whisperer! This story touches the heart with Aurora’s approach to heal her horses. Why would anyone have a grudge against such a nice, caring woman?
Dalton is a highly trained SEAL on a vacation of sorts, who also just happens to be in the right place at the right time to save Aurora from a horrible fall from her horse. After speaking with her family, he also believes that recent events surrounding Aurora have not been coincidences and could in fact, be deadly.
I enjoyed how this story includes characters like Aurora’s grandfather and his brothers who are still running the family farm, her affection for them, and they also agree with Dalton that Aurora’s accidental coincidences are becoming more dangerous. I also felt the heartwarming memories that Aurora cherishes from her late grandmother and her ability to use her grandmother’s recipes and manner of doing some things the old fashioned way.
Dalton doesn’t have second thoughts bringing in his SEAL buddies to help protect Aurora and her family from this unknown danger as things escalate. I love the hot chemistry between Aurora and Dalton as it ramps up right to the end! This is a very exciting and touching story.
Great job! I loved it!
Dalton is hiding from his past, something you truly can’t hide from. Aurora is training and helping abused horses on her family ranch. She gets shot at and assumes it’s poachers in the area. Dalton isn’t so sure and decides to stick around and help figure things out.
I laughed and cried reading this one. She is just laughter and sunshine all around, and he is hurting so badly over his past. Can’t wait to see what comes next for the Seals in Black Dawn, hoping Wyatt heals completely and smoothly.
I read this book originally as part of the Love Under Siege Anthology.
I love this series and Dalton is just one more team member to love. He has his demons and he’s come to Lake Tahoe to exercise them.
Aurora is a very strong woman who is an accomplished horsewomen. In addition to her family’s business of breeding, she works with abused horses to hopefully get them to the point they can be adopted.
This book starts out with a bang, literally as someone takes pot shots at Aurora and her horse.
Fortunately Dalton is nearby and is able to give her a hand. As he gets her to the road where there will hopefully be a cell signal, she keeps him entertained with tales of her Grandparents. She also argues that the shots were random, from poachers and she was not the target.
With Sheriff Brody dismissing the shooting as poachers, Dalton makes a decision to help.
Plenty of heat between Dalton and Aurora that escalates rapidly even though both claim to want nothing more than temporary fun.
There’s definitely a bit of a communication break down, between Aurora and those trying to protect her as they try to track down the shooters.
I love the horses, Dalton’s teammates Aurora dubbed ‘the Scooby Team, and her friends Lindy and Crystal. Strong women are always what these men need.
Plenty of twists, turns and heat, plus a couple of surprises I didn’t see coming. I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
