Two Crazy Ladies Love Romance #BookReview: Broken SEAL by Geri Foster




Broken SEAL
(Sleeper SEALs #10)
by Geri Foster



Garrett Mann is burned out. Eight years as a Navy SEAL can do that to a man – especially when he’s been on one too many missions where he has lost too many of his buddies. At thirty-five, he has been fortunate not to be the next Navy SEAL with his name on the wall. Still, he can’t refuse a former commander who enlists him for one last assignment on a secret project.

Doctor Haley Kingston skills will keep her alive, but only one man can save her after she is kidnapped from the hospital where she is working. Haley’s code of ethics as a doctor leaves her little choice but to help the injured leader of a terrorist group. Unfortunately, those ethics won’t be able to save her, or thousands of others, should the terrorist leader live.

Haley will have to trust the last man on earth that she wants to see – the one that broke her heart. Garrett has his own problems. He will have to face his worse nightmares – see the one he loves in danger and realize that his dog tags may be the next ones given to her. Garrett will be pitted against foes determined to stop him at any cost. Can he save the woman he has always been afraid to love before she is executed? Or will his nightmares come true, and this mission will turn out to be his last?




Review:
5 stars

Garrett Mann after eight years as a Navy Seal, did that him, specially when he had been on one too many missions where he lost too many of his buddies, and at 35 he felt he had been lucky. But still he can't refuse a former commander who enlist him for one last assignment. 

Doctor Haley Kingston is one of the best doctors there is, but now she has been kidnapped from the hospital she works to save a terrorist who has been shot, her work ethic leave her with little choice but to help, even though if he survives will not save her or thousands of others.
Now Haley has to trust the one man who broke her heart, Garrett on the other hand will be facing his own nightmares, he will see the one he loves in danger and realizes that he has to save her or would this be his last mission.

This story is intricate and had me glued to every word trying to figure out what was what, the characters were fantastic, not the bad guys, but all in all a great story.

I received a free copy for my honest review!

EskieMama & Dragon Lady Reads Review: Protecting Alabama by Susan Stoker



Protecting Alabama
(SEAL of Protection #2)
by Susan Stoker






Alabama didn’t have a good start to life. Emotionally and physically abused by her mama, Alabama spent her high school years in foster care. People let her down, time after time, and she’d learned to rely on only herself.

Christopher “Abe” Powers earned his nickname because he tolerated nothing less than absolute honesty from the people around him. Finding the bar scene stale and having watched his friend and teammate, Wolf, find the woman of his dreams, Abe was determined to find someone to share his life with too.

Alabama and Abe had no idea their paths would cross and their prayers would be answered, but like most things in life, nothing is ever as easy as it seems at first. Two words would change both their lives and they’d have to fight hard for their happy ever after.

**Protecting Alabama is the 2nd book in the SEAL of Protection Series. It can be read as a stand-alone, but it’s recommended you read the books in order to get maximum enjoyment out of the series.



Jara's Review                         5 stars

As a child Alabama could not say that her childhood was great, as a matter of fact, the one person who should love her and protect her did not. Everyone that walked into her life that should have protected her did not.
Christopher “Abe” Powers earned his nickname as he would not and did not tolerate lies , find the bar scene empty and as he watched his friends and teammates find the woman of their dreams he too was determined to find someone that special.
Alabama and Abe had no idea that their lives would cross at a party and that the things they wanted from life would be there in each other, for a while things seem to be going quite well until disaster strike again.
Now both souls need to learn all over to trust each other so they can embrace the love they have for each other of go their separate ways.
Will they trust each other and be to each other what they are meant to be? You will have to read it, its a great story well writen and solid, can't wait to read more from this series.


Happy Reading!

First Look:
An excerpt from CALL TO ENGAGE
Copyright © Tawny Weber 2017

Incredible.
That was the only word in his head as the aftershocks trembled through their bodies.
Incredible.
And then he came down.

Not in a nice, slow, gentle descent, either.

Nope, he crashed like a plane plummeting from the sky to ram into a mountainside.

He’d just had sex.

With Ava.

His ex-wife. The only woman he’d ever loved. The only one he’d ever wanted to love. The one who’d broken his heart into tiny little pieces and tossed them aside.

Shit.

His body still slick with sweat, the scent of Ava wrapped around him like a second skin, Elijah wondered if she realized that while extracting her promise of no regrets, he hadn’t offered the same.

After all, Elijah knew just how pointless promises could be. Especially the ones between him and Ava.

His body spent, his mind worn, he couldn’t find anything left to offer up on the altar of past regrets, though. He wrapped his arm tighter around her shoulders. Ava responded by snuggling closer, her thigh nestled between his as she shifted her chin into the indention where his shoulder met his chest. Her breath fluttered over his throat, soft and easy in sleep.

Regret?

Oh yeah, he knew he’d regret this in the morning. Hell—he glanced out the window, gauging the time from the angle of the moon—it was nearing dawn and the regret was already winding through him. Shoving aside pleasure, easing out satisfaction.

Closing his eyes against it, he drifted into sleep with her hand entwined with his, the twisted band of her ring rubbing gently between his fingers.

And he knew it for the talisman it was, the hope that lifted him from his nightmares.

If only for tonight.

Because nobody knew better than Elijah that tonight was all they had.

Review:                                  5 stars

Another amazing book in Sharon Hamilton's series about Navy Seals, this one is Band of Bachelors , Jake. I read the book and found myself again fascinated about the story. Jake finds himself in a strange room and tied to a bed and has no idea how he got there.
Rescued by his brother he now has to figure out how or why, one thing he knows is that his drinking is getting in the way, he also runs into his hex wife, the one person he has never stopped loving.
Now both of them are together again, and Jake is willing to give it a shot, but as in life, things get in the way, problems with Family, a mission that takes him somewhere else and issues that arise with the mission.
Will Jake manage to get together with his ex, trust me well I loved it, and if you like Seals this is a good read for you, also on audible with JD Hart narrating the story.

Excerpt:
Vivian wiggled into the most romantic corner booth she could wheedle and ordered a sparkling water. No point enjoying wine until she knew she’d enjoy the evening, too. She pulled out her cellphone. No cancellation message. That was a good sign, wasn’t it? Half the time, Vivian felt like her dreams were a tease. All too often she got within kissing distance of her goal, and poof, there it went. No big payoff, no awesome climax, nothing.
Because, why? Because she always blew it. She shouldn’t have told him her name. She should have teased instead, said she’d tell him tonight. Maybe she shouldn’t have let him in on the what she made at The Sweet Spot, either. Sure, a lot of guys saw that as a turn on, but there were just as many who subscribed to the prude theory. Like her brother. And he was Mike’s friend. Then again, so was Lenny. Before she’d finished her confused sigh, Zane walked in. And all of her doubts took a backseat to the sight of how gorgeous the man was. Vivian sat up a little straighter. Shoulders back, chin high and chest probably jiggling because her heart was beating so fast, she smiled and sent him a little wave. “Vivian,” he greeted as he joined her. “Zane.” “So you’re Mike’s little sister, hmm?” “Ahh, so the dare worked.” Vivian laughed. “How many times did you consider bailing?” “Bailing? I’ll have you know I’m trained to confront conflicts of all shape and size. I fearlessly face down explosives, disarm bombs and disable volatile chemicals. Sometimes all three before breakfast.” “Tell me more.” Delighted, Vivian put on a wide eyed look of fascination, even adding a little eyelash flutter for good measure. “I train with the best. I’m one of the elite. There’s no challenge devised that I won’t face.” He leaned in, his smile almost hypnotic as he teased. “Baby, I never bail.” “I can’t tell you how glad I am to hear that,” Vivian declared as the waiter brought Zane a beer and refilled her water. “But, here’s the thing—” he started to say as soon as the waiter left. “No,” she moaned. “Not the thing.” There was only one thing of Zane’s that she wanted to hear about. “Here’s the thing,” Zane continued, laughing. “Some guys have rules about buds dating their sisters. Sisters, cousins, moms. Guys get weird thinking the women in their lives have sex. They get even weirder when they know the guy putting the moves on that sex.” Lips pursed, Vivian propped her elbow on the table, rested her chin on her fist and fluttered her lashes. “Aren’t you taking a leap there, assuming we’d definitely be having sex?” Zane blinked, looked horrified for one second, then shook his head. “I’m speaking generally, not specifically.” Then he narrowed his eyes. “Are you saying that you see this thing between us as platonic?” “Of course not. I plan on having a great deal of sex with you,” she purred. “A mind-blowing amount, as a matter of fact.” “Mind blowing, hmm?” “Indeed.” She reached out with her free hand to trail her fingers over the back of his knee. Up his thigh, then back down again. Oh, baby, even through denim, his muscles were rigidly impressive. He clamped his hand down, locking hers down on his thigh. “Only one thing.” “Only one?”
“Only one.” Zane entwined his fingers through hers. “Your brother.” “Oh, please,” she objected. “Like you’re afraid of my brother? The man wears argyle socks and loafers, for crying out loud.” Zane’s snicker escaped before he could stop it, then he shook his head. “Mike’s footwear isn’t the issue. The fact that you’re his little sister is the issue.” Vivian debated for a handful of approaches. She could keep blathering about her brother. That’d put an end to either of their interest in anything after a while. Mike was like a sedative. She could offer him an easy out, a simple excuse to end the evening so he wasn’t in danger of violating his bro code. Given there was a lifelong friendship involved, that’d be the nicest thing to do. She could seduce Zane into forgetting about the bro code, which would ensure her one night of dreams-come-true-ecstasy. Or she could do the unthinkable. Vivian took a deep breath, her eyes locked on Zane’s face. He had such a sweet smile and sexy eyes. And there were dreams at stake here, dammit. So she reached into her bag to do the unthinkable. “What are you doing?” She finished dialing her brother’s number. “Getting you a bro code clearance.” “Mike,” she said the minute he picked up. “Let’s play what if. What if I have the hots for one of your friends? What if this friend wants to make a move but he’s worried about upsetting you, so I want to make the move instead? What would your feelings be on that?” “He’s afraid of me?” Mike laughed. “Wish him luck.” “Okey dokey,” she agreed, hanging up and giving Zane her most seductive smile. Zane gave her a long look, the kind that made her want to squirm in her seat and breathe a little heavier. Then he smiled. “You know he thinks you’re referring to Lenny, don’t you?” Vivian ran her tongue over her lower lip and leaned into the table. Just enough to highlight her cleavage. She waited until Zane’s gaze returned to her eyes before giving a delicate little shrug. “Can I help it if my brother is an idiot?”
