The
Poseidon team are hard-bodied, fiercely competitive navy SEALs. But when a
sensitive mission goes disastrously wrong, three of the team’s finest will have
to trust their hearts and instincts to uncover the truth…
“No
man left behind” is inscribed in the DNA of every SEAL and Lieutenant Diego
Torres is no exception. But with a team member killed—and the body
missing—Diego's honor is sorely tested. Now his career and reputation are on
the line, and a traitor is hiding among them. Diego wants answers…and only one
woman has them.
Single
mom Harper Maclean has two priorities—raising her son Nathan and starting a new
life. Her mysterious new neighbor may be impossibly charming, but Diego asks
too many questions about her past—and about the father of her child. Questions
she fears will reveal her burning attraction for Diego, and ultimately put them
all in danger’s path.
Review:
This book follows Harper who is a single mother raising her
son while working fulltime as an interior decorator. Harper had a very rough start to her life
especially when her son came into the picture it continued to stay hard, but
she worked hard to get to where she is today and doesn’t want anything to mess
that up. The book also follows Diego a career
military man. Diego also had a rough
start in life, but worked through a lot of his issues while being in the military. Diego’s job is to watch Harper to see if her
ex and father of her son will show up. Diego is all about the job.
Harper by far was my favorite character in this book. She was such a strong independent woman who
has very specific goals in her life. Harper is completely focused on her son and
making a better life for her son. She
doesn’t get easily distracted it seems even if her friend wants her to meet new
guys Harper doesn’t want to jeopardize her son in anyway. Harper takes some time to open up in the book
to all of her issues and the author does a great job peeling them back one at a
time. She really opens up during the
book and makes her feel so real and vulnerable. Harper appeared to be a very genuine character
and someone that was relatable.
Diego is a very interesting character in the book. I feel he is a little harder to read. He does open up a little bit during the book,
but he seems all job all the time. I
guess he is in a different mindset since he is really there to complete a
mission. We do get bits and pieces of
his personality that sneak through, but I feel like he is harder to open up. Diego does open up to Harper during the book,
but I am not sure we get a full picture of what happened to him in his past.
The chemistry!! I loved the romance that the author created
between Harper and Diego. They really
had a connection that she built up. We
could see each of them becoming more comfortable with the other one. They
were able to open up to each other during the book and I got to see a lot more
growth from each character. The author
created a great dynamic between them and you could see how strong the
connection was when a tragedy happened.
The author did a great job with growing the story. The story is told form the point of view of
Harper as well as Diego so we get a very complete picture. The author uses a lot of details when describing
events, which realty helped me get a complete picture in my mind while reading
too. We get a lot of background in the
beginning of the book, but once the action picks up it was hard to put
down. I wanted to know what was going to
happen next and I was also hoping for a happy ending with all the romance build
up!!
I would suggest this as a nighttime read. The story was nicely paced and easy to follow
along with. It was a perfect book that
you could pick up at any moment and read.
It was a good escape at night after a long day at work. The story really picked up towards the end,
but the beginning was very nicely paced out.
I received a copy of this book from Barclay Publicity for
the purpose of providing an honest review.
This does not affect my opinion of this book.
My Rating: 4/5
Excerpt (for those posting Promotional
Spotlights):
First
Look:
“You’re the best, mister.” The kid had to get his smile
from his mother, Diego decided. Because not once could Diego remember Ramsey’s
smile making him want to offer one in return.
“Diego,” he said after a second, figuring talking was
better than standing here on the sidewalk, grinning like an idiot. “You can
call me Diego.”
“Cool. I’m Nathan. I’m seven. I’m gonna be a stuntman
when I grow up. Or a veterinarian. I’d rather be a Jedi warrior, but Mom says
we’ll see about that one. She says that about a lot of stuff. We’ll see. What
are you?”
Huh? Was that a
question? The kid’s expression said it was, so Diego did a mental replay.
“I’m in security,” he said, using the cover Savino had
decided on.
“Bet you’re good at it.” Grabbing the bike by the handles,
the kid gave it a good shake, then grinned when the chain stayed in place.
“You’re good at fixing things, too. Maybe you could teach me to fix some
things?”
Diego didn’t have much experience
with kids—hell, he didn’t have any experience. Despite that, he had to figure
this one was something special.
Before he could answer him, a delivery truck rumbled its
way to a stop in front of the kid’s house. Something he’d noticed was a
regular occurrence. At least once, sometimes twice a day.
“You sure get a lot of deliveries,” he observed, watching
a guy in shorts carry a stack of boxes toward the door.
“Yeah. Mom gets tons of stuff. She
decorates for people’s houses. She orders pillows and bowls and things like
that. Sometimes she gets material and things to help her decide colors.”
Convenient. Or it
would be if Ramsey were running drugs or stolen goods—that’d be a solid cover.
But unless he’d shipped himself home in an ash can, it probably wasn’t
pertinent. Lansky would claim otherwise, though, so Diego made a note to
mention it in his next report.
He caught a flash of something out of the corner of his
eye. All it took was a casual glance toward the house to send him rocking back
on his heels.
Damn.
Not even signing for a slew of packages and fending off
the flirtations of the delivery guy were enough to keep Harper Maclean from
sending her son a protective frown.
So far his glimpses of her had been at a longer distance
than the twenty feet currently separating them. Her photos didn’t do her
justice. He’d known she was a looker, but no way he’d have thought fully
dressed in person could trump that bikini shot, even if that bikini shot had
been kind of blurry.
He’d
have been wrong.
