My job as a SEAL has always been to go in and save the day.But even heroes fall.

She was smart.

Do whatever it takes to make Gin mine forever.

This is the third in the Nailed Down series and it is really good. I couldn’t wait to see what happened with Dale and Gin.
Dale and Gin have been best friends for several years, Gin would have wanted more but Dale was married. When Dale’s marriage fell apart, he came to Gin. They were the kind of friends that could talk about everything and tell each other anything.
Dale can’t figure out why Gin left a year ago and she will not talk to him long enough to find out. And each time they are together to try and talk, his ex-wife calls, which sends Gin walking away.
Can Dale get Gin to talk to him? Will Gin finally get Dale to tell her what happened the night he got shot? Will they ever move past the hurt she feels?
I love this series but this one seemed a little slow at times for me. I loved the story and the way things went with Dale & Gin and the ending was great.
Read this series if you are looking for new authors, you can’t go wrong with Chelle Bliss and Eden Butler.
**I received a free copy of this book to read and review and this is my honest opinion**
I loved it. A military veteran who finds his love. Had found, lost and found again. Worth the read and reread.
If you love friends to lovers, this is for you!
Kneel Down is book #3 in the Nailed Down series. Dale and Gin’s story is full of angsty goodness! I loved it!
Once again this duo has written a wicked awesome story that flows flawlessly as it takes you on a journey into Renovation TV and the complicated relationships that develop. Gin is our soft spoken take no shit lead who we meet putting the hurt on a unwanted advance. It’s here that the fiery red head show us she is sexy, strong, and can take care of herself. We also meet Dale Hunter a sexy SEAL who has served twelve years and is now working on the renovation crew. Dale is married but he befriends our fiery Gin on the set. As their friendship develops Dale learns that Gin is the most honest person he as ever meet and when she comes to him and breaks the news that his wife is cheating he falls apart at the break up. Gin holds him together and their friendship only deepens. Until one night while Dale is on protection duty he crosses the line with Gin and expresses his true feeling in action and not words also he takes a bullet to the stomach and is badly hurt it’s in the hospital that all changes. This is where the story begins be ready to have your heartstrings pulled in every direction as two destine lovers fight their own demons and test trust, love, friendship, family, and push their personal boundaries with chemistry that will melt your tablet.
I highly urge you to read the first two books in the series before reading this one. The first two give the reader a better look at the larger picture and you can fully understand the dynamic between Dale and Gin. I love these two characters separately and I love them together. They are stubborn beyond belief, loyal to a fault, and dedicated to their jobs. The biggest area of conflict between these two is miscommunication. They can never seem to be able to get on the same page for anything. There is a lot of tension between them, and it isn’t all sexual. They are so frustrating at times because you know they’re good together, they just have to be able to see it. It’s a friends to lovers story that is filled with angst, heartache, and an ex that is like a case of the herpes….just when you think she’s gone, BAM, there she is. Dale and Gin are a perfect fit for this series and I can’t wait to see what these two authors can come up with next.
5 Stars
What a roller coaster ride full of heat! Gin and Dale have had their share of, shall we say excitement, and their friendship was something that they both needed and enjoyed. When lines get blurred, crossed, crisscrossed and turned around…prepare for a lot of steamy moments and times when you just want to yell at the page so they get things together and give us the HEA we want! Don’t worry…they get there but you will definitely enjoy the ride!

There are so many twist and turns to Gin and Dale’s story. This book really keeps you on your toes. There are many emotional parts that will hurt your heart. Dale hasn’t had it easy and Gin has always been by his side. Everyone has their breaking point though. You have to read the book to find out what hers is. Loved it.
This powerful writing duo has churned out another great story!!
Love can be a great thing if we don’t screw it up for ourselves.
Stubborn closed off former Navy SEAL, Dale, knows exactly how to do that. His best friend- or former best friend since he screwed that up too – Gin, has loved him forever and has helped him out through his darkest times. His ex-wife ruined him forever on the concept of love. It’s time for Gin to cut her losses and leave, right? Things are impossible to sort out!
A great addition to the Nailed Down series.
This was a hot sexy friend’s to lover’s read about Dale and Gin. The twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat. Loved their interaction and banter. I couldn’t stop reading until I finished this angsty sexy thrilling story. This was a great addition to an awesome series and I can’t wait to read more
Amazing amd written so beautifully. This story got me out of my book funk I was in just at the right time. Omgosh the characters in this story just blew my mind away they are so amazing. The banter, quitness and all the other emotions make this story really come to life. MUST READ.
The third book in the nailed down series is about Dale and Gin. I was waiting to see what would happen after Dale and his ex-wife had words while he was doped up. The ensuing confusion and fighting went on a little too long for my taste because they had so much lust for each other. It was well written and we always knew what they were feeling. I loved the other two books and I’m looking forward to the next one.
Wow, this was a great book!! Kneel Down was a smoking hot, suspenseful read, that had me wanting to keep reading. It also made me want to smack some of the characters.
Gin and Dale got emotions out of me that I was not expecting to have. Also while reading you could tell that Gin and Dale were meant for each other, even if they had their struggles to see that.
Over all this book and these two authors are amazing. I really can’t wait to see what comes next.
KNEEL DOWN is the third book in the Nailed Down series. Though each will stand on its own, I highly recommend reading them all and in the order of release.
I loved Dale and Gin right from the start, but Dale had issues that weren’t being addressed and Gin wasn’t speaking up about what she wanted. “…it was the words we didn’t say that injured the most. It was the silence that kept us from what we want.”
Talk people! Even when they started to talk, they still weren’t sharing what they needed to say. For each being the other’s best friend, they weren’t really there for each other when it came to building the one relationship that should matter the most. I wanted to shake the ever-living stuffing out of both of them!
‘I love him, but I don’t trust him’ annoyed me for most of the book, and yet it is still a five-star read. Emotion is emotion. Love is love. A protective alpha and a friendship that is realized as love will always make my heart swell and go pitter patter. When they can no longer deny their feelings, when they finally talk about all of the things that really matter, and when they learn to trust themselves and the other person, that’s when lust becomes true love. That is the plot you will find in these pages and you will love. Now, I think you will agree that I have given you a tease without spoiling …. Pick up a copy and get ready to shake the ever-living stuffing out of these two!

Kneel Down is the 3rd book in the Nailed Down series, it’s a great second chance story which has you gripped from the start.
I look forward to reading more from Eden and Chelles collaboration
Honestly I wanted to punch Dale and Gin at the beginning lol, but I loved it, loved the story, loved the outcome, it was a wonderful read with wonderful characters, as always it did not disappoint.
Chelle and Eden created another amazing book.
This is Dale and Gin’s story. It’s intense and engaging. It will captivate you from the beginning as it takes you through an emotional ride. A great storyline with characters you love more. I enjoyed the connection they have and the push and pull sparks that continues to build throughout the book. A great addition to series.
This is definitely my favourite of the series so far. I got into this one quite quickly and really liked the main characters. I loved Gin, she seems like a lot of fun. Dale has that strong silent thing going on for him and it seems to off worked up to this point but now he’s got to step out of his comfort zone and step up to be what Gin needs.
There is a lot of miscommunication in this book between Gin and Dale and I did start to get abit frustrated by it, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.
They had really strong chemistry and I liked how Gin could read between the lines with Dale once she decided to look at their situation through fresh eyes. His stoic silence really didn’t help his cause. He’s a great character though, I really like when the hero is so loyal and faithful.
This is Dale’s book, the the quiet, stoic yummy SEAL. And let me tell ya, the poor guy was put through the wringer!! He & Gin have always been kinda going round like a merry go round with each other, but just when things start to happen, a serious of unfortunate events happens to continue to keep them apart. I did a lot of internal yelling on this one, a lot of invisible shoulder shaking & a whole lotta hoping. These characters took me on an emotional ride, and Eden & Chelle did a very good job making me want to pull my hair out out & turn the the page lol. Can’t wait for the next one!!
Chelle Bliss, Eden Butler…
Friends to lovers…
So many feels…
Amazing chemistry…
Super sexy times…
All the above made Kneel Down a read for me!
Third book in the series, loved Dale & Gin’s story.
Highly recommend us you love romance, feels, angst and well written stories!!!
