This book opens with a rescue, pirates had taken a private yacht off the coast of Africa.
It’s during this rescue Brett gets a shock. The woman who broke his heart years ago is huddled with her two young children.
Now you’d think that would be enough excitement. However, it’s only the beginning.
Once the yacht is secured, Ceci refuses to get back on. Because her purse was taken by the pirates she had no idea where her passports are. Waiting in the US Embassy in Somalia for the paperwork to go through is comfortable, but Ceci wants to be home.
Then all hell breaks loose as Brett is visiting. This is fortuitous since he’s able to get Ceci and her children to safety. That safety is in the form of Bullock.
With there history, Brett is a bit leery but is undeniably still in love with her. Ceci on the other hand is confused yet she knows a confession is in order if they are going to be able to start again.
I love the way Dale incorporates the people from the different series into her stories. I love Dave and Bullock, and the rest of Brett’s unit.
There is plenty of action, twists and turns and sizzle in this book as Brett and Ceci reconnect.
I loved this series until this book. It feels like she ran out of ideas for the story line and decided to end it there. You won’t miss anything if you skip this installment.
This is one great book of many making up the Seals of Honor. I read the first book of the series and have quickly added as many of the Seals of Honor books as I can.
This was an incredible action-packed romantic suspense.
Navy SEAL Brett Chapman gets a call from his mother telling him that some of his extended family are on a yacht that is in trouble. When he gets there, he finds out it has been taken over by pirates. What a surprise to find his ex-girlfriend, Cici, and her children are on board, too. After a gun battle, the yacht and passengers go on their way but Cici refuses to go with them. She just wants to go home. Since the pirates took her passport, Cici was stuck at the US Embassy waiting for a new one. More drama happens there. Thank goodness Brett had gone to check on her. Even though Brett didn’t know why Cici left him years ago, he still had strong feelings for her. Now that she was single again, does he have a chance with her?
I loved this story with all the twists and turns in the plot. This was a riveting suspense with a strong SEAL team saving the day. They made it look easy but it wasn’t all that easy taking back the ship from the pirates. Brett was a great guy. I really admired his skill at his job and liked how sensitive he was to Cici and her children. I didn’t like Ceci very much though. She was totally devoted to her kids otherwise a pretty weak person. The romance was so emotional that it had me rooting for them.
I appreciate getting a copy of this book to read and review because I love Dale Mayer’s writing. She writes edge-of-your-seat suspense with hunky SEALs like nobody else.
