Description

Jack Williams has never felt so lost. For him, being a Navy SEAL wasn’t just a job, it was a way of life. Protecting people had always been his strength, until a career-ending injury forced him into retirement. He’s struggling to start over when he stumbles across a car in a ditch, springing him back into action. Only this is no random citizen in distress. He knows the pretty face behind the wheel. Intimately. In fact, there’s a good chance the baby in her arms is his. 

One year ago, Samantha Engel was forced into witness protection to escape her ruthless mob-boss father. Jack had been her protector, and seeing her again now, in desperate need of help, stirs up a flood of emotions that catch Jack off-guard. Scheduled to testify against her dad, Sam is now on the run. Her father’s offering a pretty penny to anyone who can silence her for good. Jack may not the protector he once was, but he knows one thing for sure: if Sam and her baby are in trouble, he’s not letting them out of his sight. 

With tensions running high and temptations running higher, Sam readily puts her life in Jack’s capable hands. Once the only person she could trust, she’d feared her daughter would grow up never knowing the man she owed her life to. But being back in Jack’s arms—and his bed—makes her heart pound like no time has passed. With the mob threat closing in, Jack knows failure isn’t an option. But even if they survive, Jack will have to fight to find a way to keep Sam and her daughter under his protection, or risk having to say good-bye again—this time for good. 

Jack Williams has never felt so lost. For him, being a Navy SEAL wasn’t just a job, it was a way of life. Protecting people had always been his strength, until a career-ending injury forced him into...

Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren't afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east.

She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.

Wow! Holy Cow!

Hot to Trot a Seal is on the loose!

Once I started on this book I could not put it down, action from start to finish, kept me reading more waiting to see what was going to happen next.

Who can it be now? That is what I kept wondering who was the next one coming after them & if true love is really going to happen.

Separated by circumstances not by choice, made me read on to see if there was any hope at all for the two of them.

A good book keeps you reading a great book is the one that you can not put down this just happened to be one of those great books that you really love from start to finish. Especially as it had me glued to my sit reading ever page ignoring all around me but this story as I could not put it down!

The Protective Seal is on my favorites list & Leslie North & Kate Night have been added to my must read, must have authors books!

Sam has had to be resilient pretty much her whole life. I love a strong female lead that is okay letting the alpha male take care of her. The protective Seal, is just that. I love it!

This book had me from the first page! I loved almost every second and then the other I cried over. I love these romantic heroes and their women. There's nothing like a Navy SEAL action romance in my book.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

THE PROTECTIVE SEAL is going to grab you by the heartstrings and not let go until the final page – if then. Jack and Samantha had one amazing, intense night together when they were separated from the SEAL team that was sent to rescue her. She was on the run and heading into witness protection so neither thought they’d see each other ever again. But life had other plans for this couple – and their beautiful baby girl.

Everything you need to know about this story is in the cover description blurb. What that doesn’t tell you is the intensity of this story, the fast-paced action and the sizzling chemistry between Sam and Jack. I enjoyed every single moment in this story and would have enjoyed even more. Those details you should discover for yourself, but I’m betting that you’re going to fall in love with one adorable baby and her protective parents. If you’re looking for a sexy, intense romance that will pull you in then you should be adding THE PROTECTIVE SEAL to your need to read list.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

I liked the action packed twist on this tried and true trope. I loved the chemistry between Samantha and Jack. The suspense really held my attention. While there were problems to overcome, they weren't beat to death like some stories are presented. I thought the writing was smooth and full and easy and quick to read. Very enjoyable.

I enjoyed this book - it was the typical knight in shining camo x 2 with a few twists and turns thrown in. Despite the odds, it's definitely a HEA ending. I'd definitely recommend this one.
