I was looking for a quick easy read that I did not have to invest a lot of time on. This book is just that. This is the first book I have read from this author and I truly enjoyed it. The words flew off the page and I had a quick trip from life. The characters are not too over developed in the sense that they can frustrate the reader, just the right amount of connection between the characters and the reader. I truly enjoyed this book.
VERY GOOD READ

It was an OK book, but not one I’ll ever re-read.
The worst “romantic suspense” novel I have ever read. Did not like the h, couldn’t believe her selfish disregard for her child and her immature anger at the H when he followed the agreement they both signed (which was the first stupid part of this book). He wasn’t much better.
Great read
David and Eleanor will draw you into this story and have you caught up in their drama. When Ele finally divorce her husband she and her best friend enter into a contract where he is the sperm donor for her child but they have real feelings for each other.
Leslie North/Katie Knight always seems to write about unusual family situations and this one was especially so. Emily has adopted the toddler which she was a nanny for. When he ends up with cancer it becomes a huge burden for a young woman only in her early 20s. Nate is a SEAL and the toddlers half brother. He is a protector in his job and in his personal life. This is an intense story as Emily finds herself in danger. She joins forces wit Nate to save Matthew and protect them both from danger. There is heat as they discover their mutual attraction for each other. Emily displays a fiery character as she fights for what she believes in and wins. Together they win the battles and embark on happily ever after.
Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, hot and steamy, lust and passion, strength, happiness with a happily ever after. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.

David and Ele have been best friends for t a long time. Ele has decided she wants a baby before she runs out of time. To say he’s shocked is an understatement. They meet again after several years when she’s on a photo shoot in Africa and David is on a mission. Things get hairy with the insurgents there. There is danger, steam and HEA.
Who else would she ask but her best friend which ignites the passion between them
Baby making the old fashioned way was never sexier than in The SEAL’s Baby Deal. Katie Knight, alter ego of Leslie North, can definitely write some good military romance stories and in this one she has a winner. The story of Ele and David is wonderful as they truly care and love each other right from the start since they are best friends. So when Ele starts feeling that clock ticking and wants a baby of her own, but with no prospects on the horizon, she of course turns to her bestie for an assist, or at least asks for his help. Being the best friend that he is of course he steps up and says yes. As they try to get Ele pregnant they use the old fashioned way which results in some hot and steamy chemistry between them and the igniting of some other feelings. But as per their agreement they separate and and go back to their lives.
It seems that fate has other plans as their paths cross in Africa two and a half years later. Both are working there, Ele on a documentary for Wild Magazine as she is a wild life photographer and David and a mission with his team. At the same time David finally meets his beautiful daughter Rose, who he falls in love with. But it is not safe for them to be her and David’s protective Alpha instincts kick in to high gear and he will do what ever it takes to keep both Ele and Rose safe and in the end with him forever.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
An amazing, fast pace, and on the edge of your seat second chance read! The story line is well thought out, well written, emotionally deep, and consistent. There is action, suspense, drama, humour, danger, and more to look forward to in this story. The characters you will love; they are great together; their chemistry is intense and undeniable! A recommended read!

The Seal’s Baby Deal.
David and Ele have been friends for years, with time passing by Ele wants a baby, with out the hassles of a father. So she ask her best friend to help her out, no strings. But truly they did not think it all throught….they did not figure in their hearts.
Ele is a strong character that is use to taking care of herself. David is a Seal trained for all situations.
In Africa to work, Ele runs into David at a cafe, thus is the first time he meets his daughter. With the unrest in the city, Ele and Rose stay with David. As he spend time with his daughter, David gets to see what he was missing and realizes love is given, not earned.
David also ends up fighting with Ele. She is stubborn and hates when people to tell her what to do but there are time Ele needed to put her pride aside and let David use his training.

I loved this friends with benefits to lover book. The chemistry between El and David was amazing. Add in the cuteness of Rose the bundle they created, perfect. Sometimes you have to let what you love go to see how much you truly love them and they mean to you. Can not wait for the story of Gerry and Tabby. Great read!

Ele is a wildlife photographer and after her marriage ended badly all she wanted was a child of her own. So she asked her best friend if he would help her and she wouldn’t hold him responsible in any way for the child. David is a Navy Seal and never wanted children but he wants to help his friend so he agrees. Ele has been secretly in love with David for awhile and to have his child would be a dream come true for her. However I don’t think either thought that it would happen as fast as it did. Once she was pregnant he was deployed and they had their separate lives to navigate around their friendship again. Ele never sees him again until she goes to Africa for a photo shoot of a butterfly that really rare. She brings Rose their daughter with her and on her first day there she runs into David. He is stunned when he sees Ele and their daughter Rose. Things change very quickly for them while she’s their but will it be enough to build a relationship? Will David stay in the Navy?
This is an amazing story that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them is off the charts hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Two people, best friends since kindergarden, are too afraid to admit to the other that their feelings have changed, fearing that they might lose their best friend.
Additional stress is put on their friendship when Ele is asking David to father a child with her – no strings attached. He agrees with a heavy heart, as he would prefer to be in the life of this child and its mother. A few years later Ele finds herself in a country with civil unrest, and only David can get her and their daughter to safety.
A good story, with believable feelings and tensions, culminating in a happy end.
Well written with a touch of suspense, a lot of human interest and a good portion of romance.
