An amazing Navy SEAL romance.
I mean, seriously, how could you go wrong with a love story involving a Navy SEAL?
Justus has ten days for a vacation in Australia and has agreed to let his best friends younger sister, Arianna, schedule it for him. After all, he’s agreed to check up on her for her brother so it only seems fair. But what he doesn’t know is that only has Arianna scheduled and arranged his vacation, she’s also taken time off to spend it with him. She figures it’s the only way to get over her decade long crush of Justus and have some fun along the way. However, the instant attraction between Arianna and Justus proves there might be more to this than either planned.
This book pulled me from the very start and I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. It’s a really good romance that will have you laughing and crying and reaching for a fan, it’s so hot.
I received a free copy of this book via the Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This was such a fun read!
I really enjoyed Justus and Arianna’s story. They were engaging characters and along with the well-written storyline it was easy to be swept away in their adventure. There were plenty of laughs, lots of fun and excitement, a bit of suspense and danger, and a wonderful, sweet romance.
Justus and Arianna knew each other since childhood; she was his best friend’s gangly little sister and he was her first secret crush. While on a much needed 10-day break from his SEAL team, Justus heads off to Australia where he is hooked up with Arianna, by Tony (her brother/his best friend) who is currently working there, as his tour guide. They both get the shock of their lives when chemistry sparks and intensifies they longer they are together. Addressing the elephant in the room has many complications for them both. Neither wants permanent ties, both are just looking to have some fun with no strings attached…after the 10-days, they say goodbye and walk away. No problems, no complications, right? But what happens when their hearts change the rules?
*I received an advanced copy and I am voluntarily providing my honest review.
I really enjoyed getting to know these characters. Both Justus and Arianna have realistic expectations when they first agree to the 10 day fling in Australia. He’s a life-long Navy SEAL, committed to his team and his job. She’s recently graduated from college and taking a year off in Australia working at a hotel. He’s based in San Diego, CA, while her home is New York. Justus and Arianna enter into the temporary relationship with eyes wide open, just looking to spend time together, have some great sex and make memories to last a lifetime. Of course, as often happens, fate and hearts have other ideas.
I enjoyed the storyline immensely; there’s lots of sexy fun, but there’s an underlying story that includes action and suspense. All the while, there’s the sense that time is running out on their idyllic vacation, and they have to make every moment matter. Becca Jameson has a wonderful way of bringing her characters to 3D life and making you fall in love with them, even knowing your heart might get broken when all is said and done!! This is a wonderful story with great characters and loads of fun!
A fun, sexy, one-sitting read! Ms. Jameson always gives her readers a reason to take the weight off their legs, to curl up in a comfy chair and enjoy! I definitely did just that! Justus and Arianna were wonderful characters. I have never known a Justus, but know Ms. Jameson’s now! Phew. So glad I decided to read about this Hot Seal!
Hot Seal, Australian Nights: Fantastic! Loved the whole story! Fantastic heat and hot romance. Great writing and story telling. Loved how Becca Jameson wrote such detail of Australia with the sites and animals. Loved all the characters. Justus and Arianna were the dream couple. It was perfect.
Justus has gone to Aussie while others in his Team blow off stream in other hot places or bars closer to home and what a coinkydink Arianna his best mate Tony’s little sister is also in Aussie and has offered to sort out an itinerary for his 10 days there. Justus sees a hot young women when he gets to his hotel not realising it is Arianna and from there he finds it hard to keep him hands off her and her actions don’t make it easy for him! This steamy read about a long time crush that moves to more, breaking the bro code and finding love while bad luck follows leave you chewing the inside of your mouth at times along with laughing and cringing and enjoying every minute.
Justus Kirkland was exhausted, fifteen hrs from Lax only a few hrs sleep to his hotel rm. all he wanted to do was sleep but he promised his fellow Seal Tony, that he would touch base with his little sister Arianna Gallos’ first thing upon arrival at the hotel. Before going to his room he went over to the guest services desk, he had let himself get roped into letting her plan his itinerary. He had ten days leave after a six month assignment with the Seal Team and here he was letting his best friends little sister play tour guide, the last time he had seen her all he remembered was a slender young girl who’d grown tall for her age but hadn’t filled out yet Arianna is four years younger and he hadn’t seen her the last couple of times they were on leave because she was in college. Now, as Justus walks up to the guest services desk, he sees a beautiful young woman with long hair and sexy shapely curves sitting behind a monitor typing away……this is the VERY BASIC BEGINNING of the story……I absolutely loved this book. Suspenseful romantic mystery thriller you cannot put down, great characters and a wonderfully engaging plot. I was given this arc and I voluntarily leave this review
When planning a ten day vacation to Australia, Justus’ friend and fellow SEAL Tony has him contact his sister. Arianna is in Australia on a work/holiday visa.
Little does he know she has taken the entire time off to spend it with him, touring the sites and she just might have other things on her mind.
Let me just say here, this book is kindle melting hot. The attraction between these two is off the charts. Which I’m sure was aided by Arianna having a crush on him since she was a teen.
There’s a bit of suspense and some trouble but nothing a SEAL can’t handle. With mind-blowing descriptions of the sites they visited, I really felt like I was there. Australia is on my bucket list.
I can’t wait to read the rest of this multi-author series.
A wonderful story .
I volunteered to read and review an advanced readers copy of Hot Seal Australian Nights . I think this story is fantastic . I really enjoyed reading it .
This is Justus and Arianna’s story .
Justus is a Navy Seal on leave after a long mission . He heads to Australia . His best friend Tony’s sister is working in Australia plans his trip for him and includes herself . She’s had feelings for him since she was young .
Justus is shocked when he sees her . Boy has she grown up . Attraction ignites ,and some serious hot times of course sight seeing but danger is lurking . This story is hot and steamy ,
Intriguing and suspenseful . It’s well written . Has fantastic characters and
a great ending . I highly recommend reading
WOW! I loved this book and did not put it down. Seriously, the book did not leave my hands until the end. Arianna is the little sis of Justus’ best friend and teammate, that makes her off limits. Neither are looking for a serious relationship. Will 10 amazing days in Australia and a couple of unexpected events change their mind? There is an HEA, but the journey there is a wild ride.
Ten day leave in Australua –
Checking in on his best friend’s sister
Getting involved with said sister? Absolutely NOT
Justus Kirkland is a SEAL and a man of honor. You don’t mess around with your best friend’s little sister. Period. Unfortunately, someone forgot to give her the memo. Arianna Gallo is all grown up. Not the skinny, wild haired little girl Justus remembers. She’s crushed on him for ten years. A decade of foreplay and now she means to go for the main event.
Becca James creates the best storylines and characters. Justus is definitely one Hot SEAL. Arianna is bouncy, flirty and all woman. I enjoyed “sightseeing” Sydney and Cairn through their eyes. Their steamy scenes definitely upped the sizzle factor. Great read!
While I haven’t read the whole series, I have read a few of the books in this series & have found them all very enjoyable reads. This book is no different. Being an Australian, I’m always wary when I read books set in Australia by authors that aren’t Australian. This book, however, doesn’t try to overdo the Aussie-factor by having the main characters both be American, but setting the story in Australia. It worked. Yes, there was a lot about the attractions of the setting of the book but it was never cringe-worthy to read. I really liked this story, mostly because of Justus (I admit to being a bit turned off by Arianna who I found a bit annoying. I did love being able to see the relationship growing between these 2 to a very satisfying conclusion.
Hot SEAL, Australian Nights is the First book in the SEALs in Paradise. This is the story of Arianna and Justus.
Arianna doesn’t want to be in a relationship with someone in the military due to seeing her own family dealing with them being gone and never knowing really if they were safe. But Justus is her teenage crush and she wouldn’t mind some hot encounters with him to get him out of her system. Justus knows that Arianna should be off limits for being a friend and fellow seal’s sister but their attraction is to much for him to turn down.
Quick Hot Read!
Justus was a great character and I really loved the chemistry between him and Arianna. Lots of steam and a fantastic story. Becca’s stories always draw me in and this one did as well. Loved how the two fought having a realationship. Good plot with some action and lots of sexy time. Loved it!
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
It was supposed to be no strings attached hook up.
But as they got to know each other, Arianna and Justus started to want more.
Now what to do ?
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
Alluring characters in SENSUOUS situations, this is a MUST-READ military romance!
“HOT SEAL: AUSTRALIA” is another of the amazing and entertaining novellas in the SEALS IN PARADISE series. Arianna swore she would never date a military man. Her brothers and so many other family relations had shown her the negatives of that type of relationship. The waiting, the constant fear, the single parenting and so much time living separate lives. Yup, she would never open herself to that willingly . . . but Justus was her teenage crush, an itch that needed a scratch, and then her life would move on. For Justus, Arianna was the taboo: the younger sister of his best friend and fellow SEAL. However, the insanely attractive woman that Arianna has grown to be could only be the no-strings/ no tell arrangement she proposed. Fate had other plans – as always happens in this type of fling – and a happy ending is always guaranteed in a Becca Jameson novel. Yet it is what happens between that first realization, that admitted attraction and the happy ending that will curl your toes, make you chuckle, sigh a bit, and even cry. It is their journey that makes a romance novel so appealing, a mini-vacation in paradise for all who long to get away for a few hours and enjoy the ride. I voluntarily read a copy of “HOT SEAL: AUSTRALIA” and this is my voluntary and honest review of this OUTSTANDING story. Traditionally I don’t show more than four stars for a novella because of its short length: however, “HOT SEAL: AUSTRALIA” is just too GREAT to limit. Justus and Arianna earned that extra half star with a love that has me pre-ordering a copy of my own to place in the FAVORITES collection on my Kindle! I STRONGLY suggest that you purchase your copy of “HOT SEAL: AUSTRALIA” today! Happy pages!
