I enjoy reading about the Seals. I admire them and respect what they do. Therefore I enjoyed this book about a seals life after his service.
I like the story, a romance with a bit of mystery. I could do without the explicit love-making scenes (only a couple) aside from that it was a good story and I look forward to more in the series.
This was the first book I read from this author. Now I’m on a quest to read all her books. Great stuff you just can’t stop a one.
The story line was generally fine… just too much unnecessary language and graphic descriptions for my taste in books.
Great romance. Tempted me to purchase others by this author. Unusual story line with satisfying endings.
This book needs a proof reader. Spell check doesn’t get it if the words are real words!
Easy read and fast pace.
I am really enjoying Elle James’ books. My only complaint is that they are fairly short which makes me less inclined to continue to read her books.
Simple and loving story of leaving home to follow their dreams only to run into each other on a visit home to fall back in love with each other.
I love Navy Seals books. This is a great start to the brotherhood to start a protection series. Hank’s last mission was bad and while he was at the hospital he got a call his dad had been shot. Then Sadie is home to recoup from her acting career. There are threats to sadie and hank is there to help. They loved each other in High School but left to their own careers. A lot of action and decisions to make. Loved the first book in this series.
a plot that could have been really good, but instead of fleshing out the story, could the author seemed more interested in getting the sex down.
Like the book! Did not like all the errors in spelling or works. Needed better editing.
I discovered Hank and Sadie while reading Hot SEAL, Independence Day and was intrigued. So, I bought their book and am very happy I did. I liked it so much I’ve already purchased the next 4wo books. Great suspense, some fast paced, a surprising twist and a rekindled second chance romance made for great reading.

Childhood friends have taken different paths – one to Hollywood and another became a SEAL. Their paths reconnect in their hometown and threats are made. It is a romance and a standalone and a fun, fun book to read. Bravo!
Nicely written story in the beginning. Interesting characters with good backstories. Sex scenes were not what I expected and not sure they fit the characters.

Unbeknownst to him, the woman he loved before he left Montana, a decade ago, is also back home and he’s about to get put back to work protecting her from someone intent on taking her out
A fast paced, action packed story with the town hero and town celebrity
The first book in a new series and it’s just a you would imagine it to be. Some dabei secrets, hurtful pasts, recent injuries and of course a lot of insanity – because there wouldn’t be a suspensful story if there wasn’t anything crazy. Fabulous and just great. Found myself another favourite author.
This was the 1st book I read by Elle James but It definitely won’t be the last….
It had suspense, action some mystery, military background, small town romance & family drama all wrapped up In one book that lead to a HEA what more could you ask for…..
