When Sam happens to find Reggie, passed out and naked, he takes her to his cabin where he was spending some time to go fishing and relaxing before he joins the Brotherhood Protectors. When Reggie comes around, she’s scared and very sick, not knowing where she is or who she is with, her saviour or the man who kidnapped her in the first place. She has to remain “dead” so she can gain her strength and save the other women who are being held prisoner. As the two try to figure out the pieces of where she was being held, with the help of the Brotherhood, to save the other women, the attraction between them grows and has Sam wanting to wait till she is ready for him and Reggie hoping that she can be normal with a man after what she has been through.
I LOVED this read with suspense and an attraction that sparks between them. I loved the strength and resilience of Reggie, her fighting spirit to rescue the women and Sam’s patience and willingness to wait till Reggie is ready. The clincher was the last chapter which had me smiling from ear to ear and wanting more from these two.

A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. A tough topic to talk about and one that goes on every day. This one about Reggie and how she works through the trauma she has gone through and how Sam helps her along with the Brotherhood Protectors to get to the bottom of it. All standalone reads and all good reads.
I loved the Brotherhood Protector world and the books Elle puts in it other authors may write in this world but it is definitely hers and this latest addition just confirms that.
Reggie may be trapped with other woman and under the control of “The Master” but she hasn’t lost her will to survive and is the one to finally escape. She washes up on a sand bank on a river and there she is found by retired SEAL and new recruit to the Brotherhood Protectors Sam Franklin and his war dog Grunt. He may be on vacation for a week before starting his new job but he now has his first case. It will take all of the skills of the Brotherhood to find where Reggie escaped from and rescue the other women. Meanwhile Reggie and Sam are falling in love but will she ever be able to allow a man to touch her after what she has gone through. Will love be the key to unlocking her body. This is another rollicking roller coaster ride that draws you in from the first page and never lets you go
Sam and Reggie are good together. When Sam and Grunt find a naked woman on a river bank, he knows he has to help her no matter what. She has been through so much and he doesn’t want to do anything to jeopardize her safety. So, he doesn’t take her to the hospital for her injuries, he just takes care of her as best he can. When Reggie wakes up and finds herself in a soft bed with a man and dog looking after her, she can’t believe she is safe. She and several other women were being held prisoner. Reggie managed to escape, but if the Master thinks she is still alive, he will come after her again. Can the Brotherhood Protectors help Reggie and the other women? Can they get there before he kills the others?
I received a copy of this book from Prolific Works and voluntarily chose to review it. I loved this book. It was a great story. This book was well written and the characters were awesome. We also get to see some of the old characters from previous books which I love. This one has a lot of suspense and love overcomes all the problems. Get this one it is worth your time and effort.
Wow, I loved this book. Sam and Reggie were wonderful characters along with Grunt their dog. There were many great secondary characters that I would love to read more about. From the first page until the last, I couldn’t put this captivating story down. This thriller had mystery, suspense and danger. I can’t wait to read the next book.
Reggie is the kind of woman I want to be when I grow up. She is strong, fearless and a sympathetic character. After being targeted by a serial abductor and rapist, she has endured more than person should have to. She is determined to free herself and the other females being held captive.
Reggie is strong, sympathetic and spirited and she is able to compartmentalise her own abuse to ensure the safety of the other captives. Sam is a perfect blend of Alpha male, gentle carer and emotional support. The action is fast paced, which really helped the story flow like a movie, especially as there was essentially a ticking clock as to how long the other captives could survive.
When Reggie comes to and he realises the scope of her injuries and her assaults, Sam calls in Hank and the team for some extra hands!

Due to the nature of the storyline there are no sex scenes, just lots of emotional bonding which fits with the story arc. The little helpful “tribe in the woods” were sweet and I loved seeing the happy ending in the epilogue!
SEAL Justice is a spectacular romantic suspense by Elle James. This is a fairly quick read, perfect for those with limited reading time. Ms. James has once more delivered a phenomenal story, well-written and loaded with outstanding characters. Reggie escaped captivity after being raped and tortured, leaving behind others that shared her prison. Sam had just left his SEAL unit and after his week vacation would start to work with Brotherhood Protectors. Reggie and Sam’s story is packed with drama, humor, spice, action and suspense. I loved reading this book and look forward to my next book by Elle James. SEAL Justice is book 13 of the Brotherhood Protectors Series but can easily be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger. WARNING: Top up your drink and be prepared to stay up past your bedtime, you won’t want to put this book down.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book that I received from Prolific Works. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This is a complex and entertaining read. The story is intense, suspenseful, dramatic and emotional. I do feel that it is only fair that readers be aware of a couple thins before buying and reading this book. First, this book could be triggers for some readers due to kidnapping, emotional and physical assault and rape. The details of these are not excessively graphic but if this is a concern for you please make an informed decision before reading. And second, this story features romance, just romance. There is no physical intamacy shared by the couple in this book due to the events referenced above. So if you are a reader that considers that a must have in your reads, you will be disappointed. I do think in this book and with the story that is being told that this not only made sense but was really important to tell the story as it should be told. I liked Sam and Reggie so much. I felt it was quite beautiful to see the emotional connection growing between these two characters. All together a very good book.
The story of the new member of the Brotherhood Protectors, former Navy SEAL Sam Franklin, and Reggie McDonald , the woman he finds naked and almost dead by the river, is heart wrenching , and filled with action.
Reggie escaped a madman that has been keeping naked women in a cellar, and abusing them physically and emotionally.
As Sam starts falling for Reggie, he makes himself her protector. He is also making it his mission to find the “Master” and bring him to justice.
This is a fast paced story with likable characters.
I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.
Engaging read from the first page till the last. Reggie is a strong likeable character and Sam is the kind of guy you want to meet. Together they make a great team you are rooting for. No spoilers just a book you will enjoy. I received a free copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a review
