Lila never expected to have a whirlwind romance with a Navy SEAL, and she certainly didn’t plan on falling in love. Something else she didn’t expect? Finding out she was pregnant not long after Preston Lawson deployed. Worse yet, when she tries to tell him he’s about to be a daddy, she’s informed that Preston was killed in action, leaving her alone and desperate. But after years of struggling to … to get by, she’s finally created a stable life for her and her son and plans to celebrate Christmas in a big way: by heading to the very lodge where she met Preston. The lodge is decorated perfectly for the Christmas spirit, and Lila is content—if not a little lonely. Until Preston, the I’m-supposed-to-be-dead Navy SEAL shows up out of the blue.
Preston never thought about settling down. His unit was his family. His life was the Navy. So three years ago, when a clerical mistake left him officially dead and he was offered the opportunity to use his new anonymity to participate in Black Op missions, he accepted. But when he’s given leave right before Christmas, he gives into nostalgia and heads to the lodge where he and Lila—the woman he’d fallen in love with—first met. He was hoping for some Christmas spirit, but he never expected to find Lila. Or learn that he has a son. Preston knows in that instant his life will be inalterably changed—for the better. But while he and Lila grow closer, it soon becomes clear that someone is trying to harm her, and Preston will do everything in his power to keep her safe. In the end, Preston will have to decide whether protecting Lila and their son safe means staying with them or leaving them behind.

To have one wish when someone you love dies is to have them come back. This is beautiful story of hope and second chances.
After several years, Lila returns to where she met Preston in hopes to move on from her past only to have it find her again.
Preston is listed as dead after a clerical error after his Seal team’s mission. This allows him to go dark but in turn her has to give up his past.
Lila and Preston are a loving couple that don’t realize what they have or want until it is within their grasp and also taken away.
The story will have you on the edge of your seat with each twist and turn.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. Preston is a navy seal he met Lila before he was deployed. Lila was waiting for Preston to come back to tell him he was going to be a father. Preston was classified as dead aa few years later he camo back to the place that he and Lila had met and so did Lila it was Christmas after all. It was hot and steamy with emotions that makes you want more.

I enjoyed reading this story because I liked how even though their was a lack of communication, they still worked things out. The background was good, descriptions of where they were at and the characters were real.
Lila is working at a resort in the mountains when she meets Preston. He is there on vacation and she basically joins him for three weeks and they have a lot of fun. She knows he is a SEAL and he is going back after his break and she won’t see him much and won’t know where he is or when he will be back. A few weeks later she finds out she is pregnant and tries to let him know. She is informed that he died in action. She’s gotta do what she’s gotta do because she is going to have this love child. Three years later, after barely making ends meet she gets an inheritance that she sells so now she takes her child for a vacation out of LA to the mountains to the same resort she met Preston at.
Preston fell in love with Lila but the only family he really has is his unit. When everyone in his unit is killed except for him, yet he is marked as dead, he is given a chance to work undercover for the government to get the people who betrayed his country and got his unit killed. After finally getting the bad guys, and then some, he takes a break back to the resort where he met his one true love Lila. When he sees her there with a child, he knows that child is his. Then there is someone trying to kill her. He needs to protect his family.

Okay Christmas themed story
I have to admit upfront that I love stories by Leslie North and her alter ego Katie Knight. I have always given really good reviews and high marks because they are so entertaining and have great combination of drama, suspense, danger and some smoking hot chemistry.
So it is really hurting me that I cannot write a super positive review for The SEAL’s Christmas Baby. I did love the story-line and thought it had the potential for being a wonderful holiday themed second chance at love mixed with a surprise baby story. For the most part it was there but I really had a hard time with continuity and the details. There were just so many things that were shifting all over the place that I had to keep going back to previous parts of the book just to make sure I was remembering correctly, which would not have been the first time my memory had failed me. But my memory was right and I just become more frustrated along the way.
For me I am going to say that this book was fun and had interesting characters that also had a nice smoldering chemistry which does get ignited. But it also had some issues with the details of the story. So I am going to go middle of the scale and admit that I liked the book but I had to suspend my eye for details and just go where the author decided to take me.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
What’s not to love about this book? First love, check. A baby, check. A second chance at that first love, double check! I loved reading Lila and Preston’s story, and with the magic of Christmas, with a little suspense, to help bring them together. I look forward to reading more from this author.
The story features Lila and Preston. After having a crazy two month affair, Preston was called back for deployment. She fell in love with him but he thought it better to break it off. A short time later she found out she was pregnant and that Preston was KIA. Lila went through some hard times but things were looking up. I felt so bad for her when she found out he’d been KIA. Imagine her surprise and anger when she found out otherwise.
The story line was good but the danger Lila was in was pretty far fetched and probably needed more thought put into it.
Fate delivers a second chance and just in time for Christmas
The SEALs Christmas Baby by Katie Knight is a wonderful Christmas romance with deep and instant emotional connections, steamy chemistry, suspense and danger. Preston is the alpha protector, a Navy SEAL, determined to keep his heart locked down. He succeeds until fate puts Lila right where he can’t miss her as well as the son he never knew about. Lila, while young, is a very strong and capable woman, an excellent mother and also determined not to allow her heart open to Preston again.
The plot of this book is full of heart, heat, longing, sweet moments, reconnection, fun, danger and suspense. No matter the interaction, drama or scene, this book is nearly non-stop action and kept me turning the pages with anticipation for what would happen next.
Overall, a very well written romantic suspense with the added element of the heartwarming Christmas season for the entirety of Preston, Lila and Parker’s story as well as their sweet HEA.
A beautiful sweet Christmas second chance romance. This engaging storyline includes drama, suspense, pain, forgiveness, danger, family and love. The characters are interesting, well developed, and have sizzling hot chemistry making so.e sexy moments. I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC with a great HEA.
An affair to remember him by with his son. This well written emotional tale leaves the reader going on a ride with Lila as she has to face raising the Seal’s baby on her own. The characters interact on a level where you feel their tale as if it is your own, as the secrets come out will she live to enjoy her life with a HEA with Preston. Can he save his new family he never knew he had. Enjoy the ride

Another wonderful novel with many unexpected elements. The tension is well built up, as is the reviving romance between Lila and Preston
After all the drama was over it was a new beginning for them all.

Lila and Preston were together for just a short time before he was called back to duty, as a Seal he could be without contact for weeks at a time but when she found out she was pregnant she had to tell him. Then she got the news he had been killed in action, what followed was a difficult time for her but she survived. Her love for Preston had stopped her from moving on and it then when she was finally ready to say goodbye she meets him again. The Navy had made a mistake but instead of correcting it Preston was able to transfer to a Black Ops Division. The man he was had died until he saw he again and the son he never knew about. This romance was difficult to read at times and yet there was the joy of loved rekindled as well. When Lila’s life is threatened, Preston was there to save her. After all the drama was over it was a new beginning for them all.
