Her son needs a new doctor, her insurance plans needs an upgrade and Emily needs to feel safe. The solution to all her problems arrives in the form of red-hot Navy SEAL Nate Shaw and a marriage of convenience. An artist and a romantic down to her soul, a businesslike union … goes against everything Emily has ever wanted, but she needs the financial stability and healthcare Nate is offering. And when the threats against her escalate, she’ll need his protection, too.
As a Navy SEAL, Nate is used to danger. But when it becomes clear someone is targeting Emily, his protective nature goes nuclear. For some reason, she’s getting under his skin and invading his thoughts far more than he’d like. Despite their convenient marriage, Emily is actually starting to feel like a…wife. Being with her is testing not only his mettle but his long-held belief that a true marriage is out of the question for him. As the danger to Emily escalates, so do Nate’s feelings for her. He’ll do anything to keep her safe, even if that means letting her go to find someone who can love her the way she deserves…

I really liked the idea of the marriage and the reasons behind it but I did not really connect or feel like we really got to know either Emily nor Nate, I felt Emily moaned a lot and Nate should have been more well Alpha. I get they are in their early 20s but for the role of adopted Mum and a SEAL but I expected more and just felt like there something missing from it like them really getting to know each other after moving in or something… I did like that things continued to brew after what Emily saw so you had the suspense of that and her Mum was great along with Matthew which helped make up for Emily and Nate.

One marriage of convenience + Feelings = A future neither ever expected
The SEAL’s Convenient Marriage is a sweet arranged marriage for a purpose romance. One again Katie Knight knocks it out of the park with the characters of Nate Shaw and Emily Edwards, and you can’t forget sweet young Matthew. Both Nate and Emily had a certain ideas about their future but as we all know things change and they do quickly for these two, especially when someone starts threatening Emily. All of Nate’s possessive and protective Navy SEAL Alpha kicks in wanting to keep her and Matthew safe.
I am going to say that there were a few eye-rolling moments with the plot but you just make it past those and then into something wonderful hurtling towards a great HEA. The book is well written, the characters are nicely developed and the story-line is entertaining and engaging. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to other readers!
This was an easy & fast read.
I liked the unusual connection of the two main characters.
While the sudden physical attraction seemed to come out of nowhere, the development of their relationship and any changes of heart are credible.
What I couldn’t relate to was his going behind her back when he was painted as such an open and honest person. I also couldn’t quite believe that police would dismiss her so easily after what she had reported.

This was a great story. Nate is home on leave going to see his brother and Emily who adopted him at his mothers wishes. Emily has been taking care of Matthew since he was two and has been caring for a very sick little boy, as he’s fighting cancer. This story had drama, suspense, mystery, fear, struggles, adjustments, and finding a love that neither Nate nor Emily believed they had. A marriage of convenience really turned out to be hot, steamy and a growing person. Much thanks that they came to their senses. Both scared and looking for something that didn’t really exist. Perfect ending. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Nice read with an interesting story-line. Nate is a SEAL who doesn’t believe in true love because of the relationship between his parents. Emily is the former nanny of her adoptive son Matthew. Matthew is Nate’s half-brother. Confused? Let’s not forget that Matthew is very sick and in need of a new doctor because his old one is threatening Emily. Got your attention yet?

Emily is having trouble paying for treatment for her adopted son’s cancer. Matthew’s older brother, Nate, a Navy SEAL, suggests a fake marriage. If they can find a new doctor, this will help with payment for Matthew’s treatment. What Emily fails to mention is that she’s being threatened by the doctor over something she saw at his clinic. When Nate finds out about it, he makes a decision to go to the police. This is a great book, fast-paced and full of action. Emily and Nate have always been attracted to each other, but never made a move – she’s looking for happily ever after, and he’s Two Date Nate. The chemistry is still there, though, and there’s no way they can deny it. Her mother and his attorney give the both of them a kick in the pants and something to think about before they call it quits.

This one was slightly outside the box and I liked that. The premise has a different twist. Emilys adopted son is Nates half brother. Emily was Nanny to Matthew (Nates half brother) and adopted Matthew with Nates blessing. When Nate is home on leave he finds out about the financial hole Emily is in from Matthews cancer treatments and seeing as how he is thinking of Emily in other ways he decides its perfect opportunity to help and offers marriage. Unbeknowing to Nate, Emily has seen something she shouldn’t and is being targeted. We have mild suspense, romance and a happily ever after. It was an enjoyable read but IMHO needed something more. Course if I knew what I would be an author or a critic, I am just a reader.

Marriage of Convenience or NOT? This story is about Nate, Emily and Matthew. Matthew is four years old and stepbrother to Nate and adopted by Emily who use to be his nanny. Matthew’s mother died in a car accident and she was left guardian of Matthew, as Nate was in the service and his mother did not want him to put his life and dreams on hold. Nate is still close to his little brother and Emily, but now more than ever does he feel the need to step in as more than a friend and brother but as a husband and father…. This is such a great story, it is sad to realize that children do get cancer, but knowing that there are parents and others that care so much to make sure that their lives are always attended to and loved, is beautiful. Although this story is not just about Matthew and the struggles Emily faces as a single mom, but that of protection that she needs in order to survive something that she saw and was threaten to never repeat, but once a SEAL learns about it, people will pay! Of course, there is a lot of action and a lot of loving that is well deserved.

The Seal’s convenient marriage by Katie Knight is a 4 star read.
Emily Edwards worked as a nanny but when the mother passed away she left her son Matthew in her care, she adopted the now 4 year old, but he’s fighting cancer and the money is running out fast for his treatment. When she sees something she shouldn’t one night when she goes to the clinic she knows she needs to find a new doctor but also find a way to keep both her and her son safe.
Nate Shaw is Marthew’s older brother, when their mother died she wanted Nate to follow his heart to become a navy seal so she left custody of Matthew to Emily, Nate does everything he can to be in his brothers life but when he realises that Emily is in some financial trouble he proposes a fake marriage as a way to help with medical treatment. Both Nate and Emily feel a connection to each other but is it just because of Matthew??
I really enjoyed this story and would recommend it.
Emily Edwards is struggling to pay for her adopted 4-year-old son’s medical treatments for cancer. Although Navy SEAL Nate Shaw does not believe in love after he saw how it devastated his mother when his father left, he is practical and offers to marry Emily so that she will have access to healthcare and housing for Matthew, who is his little brother. She is reluctant, but they agree to the marriage of convenience for a one year period just to help her get by. She didn’t mention to him that she had seen something she wasn’t supposed to see, and now she may be in danger from Matthew’s doctor. Will Nate be ready to step forward and protect his family?
This was a good story with a clever side-issue to keep the suspense up. The characters were well-portrayed, although Ms Edwards took some time to grow on you. Grab your copy and see if Nate is blind-sided by the danger she never warned him about, and whether the two of them will fall in love before their marriage deadline expires and is ready to be dissolved.
A great plot and characters. I volunteered to read an advance copy for an honest review.
