All her life, Rachel Winchester has fought against the idea that she was nothing but white trash destined for Loserville. Now, it seems all that fighting was for nothing. Sure, she’s running a successful B&B and, yes, she finally had her way with a man she’s crushed on for forever—Harris McCallister, the guy she’s flirted with for years; the guy she’s thought about and pined for. She’s … finally feeling good about the future when—bam—she gets pregnant. True or not, in her world, nothing says white trash more than an unmarried pregnant woman. Worse, her “loving” mother is threatening her over the B&B and the property it sits on, all because of a silly legend about a pirate’s buried treasure.
Harris doesn’t know what it is about Rachel, but he’s always been drawn to her. With her brightly dyed hair and sexy-as-hell tattooed body, she’s impossible to ignore—and drives him crazy in all the best ways. Finding out she’s carrying his baby has him thinking things he’s never thought before. Thoughts he brutally pushes away. Returning to active duty as a Marine Raider is what he wants, not settling down and playing house. He’ll stick around just long enough to make sure Rachel and the baby-to-be are safe from increasingly disturbing attacks they both believe has to do with an old legend about a pirate’s buried treasure. The longer he stays, though, the tougher returning to duty is becoming. But when the time comes to head back to the Marines, he has to make the toughest decision of his life—duty to his country, or life with the woman he loves.

Rachel Winchester who runs a successful B&B and Harris McCallister a Marine Raider’s story has suspense, drama, danger, a villain, and romance. A well written story that I enjoyed reading. I want to read the next book in this series it sounds like it is going to be a good one. I would say read this series in order as they are linked at the end.
Rachel inherited a big Victorian house and has made it into a bed and breakfast. Harris is a Marine on bereavement leave and sees Rachel come in. They’ve flirted when Rachel worked at the bar but with his father and best friend passing away, he needs to take his mind off it all. After their one night stand, Harris has to see a therapist before he can be put on active duty and finds out he’s going to be a father. He moves in with Rachel and helps around the B&B. Her mother and a man want to look for treasure that is supposed to be hidden on the property, Rachel tells them no. But then someone tries to kill Rachel, several times, and Harris will do anything to keep her and his unborn baby safe.
Rachel is a tattooed, wild colored hair, fierce woman. Harris is a strong, handsome Marine. Both had rough childhoods and it’s hard for them to trust others. Sex, action, and a surprise baby. Funny and a little sad. Really enjoyed this story. There is a little cliffhanger.

This is the story of the middle brother of the McCallister family, Harris. It also brings us a tattooed, rainbow haired woman who used to be a bartender and now is a B & B owner. She has had a crush on him for years, and Harris has been intrigued by Rachel as well. The two reconnect at the bar when he is home for his father’s funeral and he was also mourning his best friend who was killed on their last mission. This is another good story by Leslie North. Anytime I see her name on a book, I know I am getting an enjoyable read. I give this 5 stars.

Another winner in this series! Harris was all in with the news, and with Rachel’s problems at the B&B, he had all the reasons to stay and get better acquainted. I’m not sure why the title had to hav SEAL in it since he as a Marine, but otherwise I really enjoyed this book. Can’t wait for Lee’s story!

A Fierce Fairy takes on a Marine Raider!
An accidental pregnancy causes Harris to take stock in his life, and at the same time he’s forced to take leave while he sorts through his best friend’s death on his last mission as a Marine Raider. Adding to that, his father has recently died, so family has taken on an enhanced importance for him.
Rachel has grown up with the weight of the town’s judgment on her back, so she’s feisty and ready to prove herself to any and all who challenge her. Between her impending motherhood and the threats to shut her business down, she’s got her hands full, and therefore, so does Harris.
The action moves quickly in this delightful story. Harris has to deal with his own feelings of insecurity as well as Rachel’s nearly impenetrable walls, all while keeping her safe and figuring out who’s trying to kill her. It was a terrific romance that kept me turning the pages all the way to the HEA. It ends with a brief segue into the next story in the series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
Leslie writes another great story that pulls you in and has you rooting for Harris and Rachel!

Harris offers to help Rachel repair the B&B, but what happens when Harris’ bereavement leave ends? Will Harris return to the military or will he stay with Rachel? You have to read to find out and won’t put the book down until you finish it in one seating.

I always fall totally in lust with any and all Military men in a book but especially the smoking hot ones like Harris and he’s a Marine as well so there’s that. I raised a Marine so they are special to me.
The sparks are definitely there between Harris and Rachel but the flirting doesn’t come to fruition until the night before he has to leave. So weeks later when she discovers their night of passion created something more lasting she has no way to reach him. But when things happen and Harris is back on the scene and discovers he is going to be a father well we all know this Alpha will do all that he can to protect his family.
This book is filled with mystery, lots of action, passion and an HEA.
Highly entertaining, sexy, fun and engaging romantic adventure filled with danger, mystery, unexpected longings and undeniable passion…. really enjoyed this story from beginning to end and overall it was great reading.
I really enjoyed this book.

Harris has hit rock bottom. He’s lost one of his best friends while out on a mission, now he has lost his father. He’s sitting at the bar, and in walks Rachel. Rachel used to be the bartender until she inherited a house she turned into a B&B. Harris has thought of Rachel as a fairy due to her looks, but their flirtations have never developed into anything. Rachel consoles Harris, and brings him home with her to help him forget the pain. There is definitely heat between these two.
Harris comes back home after his bereavement and is told he has to go through counseling before he can return to his unit. Not knowing what to do he ends up at Rachel’s house. Rachel just found out shortly before Harris showed up that she’s expecting. Rachel’s mom (who owns part of the B&B is trying to get her to sell, due to an old legend about pirates treasure hidden on the land).
Harris moves in with Rachel, and helps her with the B&B.
There’s a lot more going on in this book! I really enjoy Harris & Rachel’s characters, and the heat between these two!

This is book 2 in the series. The story is about Harris and Rachel. Now these two are really fun. They had been flirting with one another for months but nothing every came of it. One night Rachel seen the Harris needed some cheering up. So she made her move. The next day Harris had to leave. Now its been some weeks and Rachel finds out she’s pregnant and has no way to let Harris know. Harris shows up right on time because Rachel is being harassed and strange things are happening. She has to tell him; he going to be father. When she does the Alpha male soldier comes out and he vows to protect his family. This was a light heartwarming story. It made me a little sad for Harris but Rachel turned out to be exactly what he needed. I love to see a strong, take charge kind of woman. The story has some mystery , suspense, some action and a whole lot of romance and falling in love. It made me smile. I wasn’t ready for the story to end.
