Bridget Needham knows first-hand how a Special Ops man can shatter a girl’s heart. She’s still kicking herself over the one that got away… after watching him get down on one knee and propose to someone else.After giving up her career to re-open her aunt’s struggling bed-and-breakfast inn, the last thing she needs is a sexy-as-sin SEAL showing up on her doorstep—especially when the secrets of her … secrets of her past still threaten to keep her from holding onto love.
Besides, this guy might have a Greek god bod and an impressively large power drill, but he also has a girlfriend two thousand miles away.
Former Navy SEAL Maddox Kerry hadn’t intentionally landed himself in Annapolis during Commissioning Week—the one week when it’s next-to-impossible to find a place to stay. So it’s mission-critical that he convince an adorably awkward innkeeper whose bed-and-breakfast is closed for renovations to let him stay.
And hey, if he finds himself hoping for a little more than the customary turn-down service, who can blame him?
Yet every time the chemistry sparks between them, she runs for cover.
Any other guy would shrug his shoulders and move on. But he can’t walk away when he senses the pain behind her prim exterior.
Because Maddox Kerry isn’t any other guy.

If you are looking for a sweet, loving story, this book is for you. I liked how the characters met, their support and growth together was so heartwarming.
If I could have given it more stars I sure would have. I couldn’t put it down
LOL ” I thought what the heck they all apply”. Loved this book and love this author! I read the next book first but that only cemented this one. Can’t wait to see which member of the team is next blindsided by his special someone.
Sometimes a blurb is mundane, but the blurb for NO RESERVATIONS hooked me in, just as I was needing something new to read. And I didn’t want a 400 page book. This book was the perfect fit for my mood! It’s not a rom-com, but it had me smiling and laughing several times! I loved how Maddox met Bridget, and the unease that she felt at that meeting! But for the sake of the rest of the story, I was so glad Maddox worked his charm within a matter of minutes! This book is NOT a cliffhanger, but I was left with wanting answers! So glad that when I got to the end, I found that the answers had been provided. Here on Goodreads, this book is listed as #1 in a series, but when I looked to Amazon, I see that it’s book #5 in a series of 8. Upon further investigation I saw that I had already purchased the first 4, so I purchased the last 3! More great reading in my future! Awesome series!

great book
Absolutely loved this heart-warming read. Kate Aster is a new to me author, and after reading No Reservations, I continued on and read the entire Special Ops Tribute series. This is military romance at its best – realism, sizzle, and heart.
There is a letter…and she doesn’t (gasp) read it. But, there’s an extra prologue available for free that wraps up that little question mark. And honestly, I didn’t even care that we didn’t know what was in the letter, because for me, the story was all about Bridget and Maddox. And really, the men in this series…oh my. All highly worthy book boyfriends.
Enjoyed
This was a great story of finding love in the funniest of ways. Bridget inherited her aunts in and was going to reopen it. Maddox show up in Annapolis at one of their busiest times when he stumbles on her closed inn. But it’s a beginning of a beautiful story
Good read. Entertaining and a HEA could use a little more character development but it was good.
Maddox is one of my all time favorite heroes in a book. He is trying to help so many people when he just really need someone you care about him. Bridget is wonderful and such a strong heroine. I love that she is pursuing her dream. They make such a strong couple. This is definitely a fabulous book that is hard to put down.
A charming romance story with a happy ever after.
I was pleasantly surprised at how easily the story pulled me into becoming part of the characters story. Such a feel good story with funny moments and funky attitude.
Want to read rest of the series and learn about what will happen with the main characters. Want to read more books from this author.
I really enjoyed this book. Good reading!
Awesome book
01/09/2021 “No Reservation” (nook) pulled me in when Bridget and Maddox met in the foyer of her Bed and Breakfast. I am addicted to love-at-first-sight stories and this one is worth the read.
Both Bridget and Maddox have heartache and angst in their pasts and overcome everything to love each other.
Also, I am delighted at the salute to our military members.
Sweet book but huge issue! UNFORTUNATELY, the mystery part remained unsolved and that was extremely disappointing. This author made way to much out of the mystery, and then leaving it wide open just did not set well with this reader. It isn’t even clear whether future books will explain the mystery.
Such potential, but this author blew with a cliffhanger. As a result, I could not give this book a better rating.
I really enjoyed reading this book. Wonderful characters and good story line. I would like to know what was in the envelope. I was thinking maybe her aunt was really her mother. Guess I’ll just have to keep wondering.
Great book. So much fun to read.
This was not your usual Navy Seal story — it went beyond and meshed the life of the former Seal with a beautiful Bed & Breakfast and its owner! I loved the plot, the characters throughout the book, and the great descriptive writing. I could picture the scenes in my mind, and felt like I was watching them unfold. It was a wonderful feel good story with a great HEA!
