Ten years ago Zach met Gabby for the first time. She was his little sister’s annoying new college roomie & bestie. She still is Amanda’s best friend. And in the last decade – whenever he saw her again at family events, he tried to keep his distance from the beautiful girl. He can’t have the hots for his sister’s best friend!! But now staying away from her will be even harder!!!! His sister hired her to turn his grandma’s old house into something a bit more manly and modern. But they didn’t expect him home from the middle east so soon.
LET THE FUN TIMES BEGIN!
LOL – that was adorable!
Those two have been attracted to each other from their very first awkward meeting!
And now she’s in his house all day long.
Plus Zach might have to rescue her from Tijuana – where she wanted to buy cheap tiles for a renovation project!
Lots of very adorable and sexy and dangerous moments until those two can ride off into their happily ever after sunset together!
I adored Gabby & Zach – and sister Amanda and adorable but clueless brother-in-law Jasper and the little peeks we got at the other SEALs and exSEALs – I really enjoyed reading this! Can’t wait for Cat’s next SEAL adventure!
Enemies to lovers romantic comedy
Hot SEAL, Tijuana Nights: A Best Friend’s Brother Romance by Cat Johnson is a well written romance with so much good stuff! Hot alpha SEAL, sweet, funny talented woman, awkward naked laugh out loud moments, steamy chemistry and then said alpha SEAL turns to-die-for sweet, tender, and heart felt. Enough to make any reader a puddle of goo!
I enjoyed the plot of Gabby and Zach’s story. It was highly engaging from their hysterical meeting to Zach’s across the border rescue. In addition to the action, there’s romance and comedy making this book all around a really great read.
Overall, a fantastic Hot SEAL book with fantastic characters. If there were a continuation of their story, I’d definietly read it as it would be a guaranteed laugh a minute if their HEA promises anything other than a life full of love, fun and family.
After college, Gaby has a Trash to Treasure Blog. Her ideas are cute, quirky and different. Amanda has an idea to help Start her business. She would pay her to decorate her brothers house that he inherited from their Grandmother. Zach came home early from his deployment and was shocked to see all the changes. Gaby and Zach bumped heads throughout the rest of renovation. This story is fun, romantic, with some danger mixed in. Zach can always count on his Seal brothers to help out when theres danger around.
John Posvistak narration is very good. I enjoyed listening to this story.

This book opens with Zack deployed and his sister Amanda interfering once again. This time she recruits her best friend Gabby to redecorate her grandmother’s home which was now Zack’s. Of course Zack knows nothing about any of this, other than Amanda had been telling him to do it for a long time.
Gabby’s fledgling interior decorating business is floundering, so much so that she focused entirely on her jobs instead of the fact that she had to vacate her apartment because of the building’s new owner.
Taking advantage of the fact that Zack was deployed she temporarily moves her stuff there while she does the redecorating. Not expecting him home for weeks yet.
This book is so much fun, well except for an excursion to Tijuana to get the tiles for her business client.
A touch of action, plenty of laughs, misunderstandings, sibling love, and plenty of romance and heat.
I love this multi-author series, I really need to catch up on the new books. Don’t forget to check out Cat’s page there’s a bonus prequel to this book to fetch.
Loved this book! Cat Johnson writes great characters you want to know and love. I couldn’t put it down! I love military heroes, lots of action and romance! A wonderful start to this round of SEALs in Paradise. Can’t wait to read the rest!
A fastpaced and wellwritten storyline filled with wonderful characters and emotions. Loved the storyline and would love to read more about this couple.

I forgot to look and see if this was labeled under comedy! I sure laughed and chuckled a lot! There were also frightening and serious moments too. I enjoyed the back story of Zack and Gabby and really loved Amanda! I snickered at her clueless husband! An enjoyable read with nicely flowing story line!
This romantic comedy kept me turning the pages with the well written storyline and the well developed characters! Gabby and Zach were very likable, believable and very engaging which kept me totally invested in this story until the very end!
Gaby is Amanda’s best friend since forever and they are always supporting each other. Gabby has always been in love with Amanda’s brother. However, he hates her, or so she thinks.
Zach just wants to arrive home to find some calm and quiet after a deploy in Yemen. However, he is in for a surprise.
Full of adventure, intrigue, homuor. I enjoyed a lot reading this book.
Wonderful SEAL Romance/Adventure!
Sweet combination of romance and suspense as Zach falls for Gabby, his sister’s best friend and totally ‘Off Limits’. Great addition to the series. Enjoy!
I received an advance copy and am happy to leave my honest review.
When I started reading this story, I could not put it down. I read the book in one day. This author is an awesome writer. I can not wait to read more of their books. Keep up the great work. You should definitely read this book.

Navy SEAL Zachary Browne and Gabrielle Lee Interiors & More will have a lot to go through before they get their happy ending. There is suspense, drama, danger, twists, turns, villains, and romance I found this to be I found myself smiling with. I recommend.

Hot…
It’s been years since I read a book by this author. After reading this story, I have to ask myself why. The story-line flowed. Zach was HOT and his chemistry with Gabby sizzled. It definitely won’t be as long before I read something else by this author.

A well written enemies to lovers romance story featuring a hot Navy SEAL, a sexy as hell interior designer, and the cartel. Hot SEAL: Tijuana Nights if filled with sizzlin’ chemistry, sexual tension, danger, and a HEA.
I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
I loved how Gabby and Zach’s story came together! She’s his sister’s best friend and he’s a SEAL. I really enjoyed reading this book!

This story has a lot of interesting parts. Funny, tricky patrols and rescue with Zachs seal team. Then the mess in tiajuana. Gabby and Zach was as different as they come. The bad guys are trying to recapture Gabby and Zach’s team is trying to get her out of the country. Lots of action and the unkown.
This is the second book I’ve listened to in the SEALs in Paradise series, and I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence that there’s a brief appearance by the only other characters I’ve read about in the series, or if the appearances are in all the books. The other book I listened to was Hot SEAL, Dirty Martini. At first I thought it was a negative that both Tijuana Nights and Dirty Martini both had a home improvement/decorating theme and that the two books would be too similar, but by the end of the book I liked how things connected together and didn’t feel like they were repetitive.
I listed to the Audible version. Sean Posvistak did an excellent job with the narration and kept things interesting throughout the book.

****Hot SEAL, Tijuana Nights: An Enemies-to-Lovers Best Friend’s Brother Rom Com (SEALs in Paradise Book 0)
5 stars
I purchased a copy of the novel Hot SEAL, Tijuana Nights: An Enemies-to-Lovers Best Friend’s Brother Rom Com (SEALs in Paradise Book 0): Zach and Gabby by Cat Johnson and this review was given freely.
An easy flowing action,drama and danger packed romantic suspense featuring conversations between good friends, scenes from SEAL missions, a rocky romance, and a sibling who likes to interfere in her quiet and regimental brother’s life. A ten year old crush held by struggling interior designer and blogger Gabby Lee for her best friend Amanda’s Navy SEAL brother Zach becomes a shared attraction when Zach returns home from a mission to find Gabby in his shower and his realizes he no longer wants to keep her at arms length.
While each novel in the series can be read separately, they are best if read in order as the order is chronological.
