Hot SEAL, Confirmed Bachelor SEALs in Paradise; by Cynthia D’Alba

Hot SEAL, Confirmed Bachelor

SEALs in Paradise; by Cynthia D’Alba

Oh, I so loved this story. I also really did not want it to end.

Meet Master Chief Benjamin Blackwell. He thinks that he has the life he wants. He is hot, a SEAL, and in control of his life. He can smile at a woman and they will chase him to bed, or car, or bathroom, or wall…..what more could he want?

Meet Holly Maxwell. A widow, mother, teacher, and a daughter of a Coronado cop. She is happy with her life. Her family wants her to move on and remarry as it has been over 10 years since she lost her husband.

Holly comes up with a plan to keep her family from setting her up with anyone. Little did she know it is about to backfire on her. She tells them she is dating a man and describes Benjamin to them. Then as the girls are having a ladies night out they run into him. Now her family invites him to all the family events. She had asked him to play along but how long is this going to last?

Benjamin goes along with Holly as he has a lot on his mind this summer. He has some big decisions to make and does not want any distractions. Little does he know that he now has a big one. One that he just might want to keep.

Can Holly and Benjamin find love? If they do will it last more than the summer? Do they even want to make these changes?

Want You to Want Me(Want You #2) by Lorelei James

Want You to Want Me(Want You #2)

by Lorelei James


I had a hard time with the beginning of this story. If this were not a Lorelei James book I more than likely would have stopped. However, it was a Lorelei James book, so I pushed on. When I set this book down the second time, I was like what is wrong with me? I love these books. So, I thought on that and realized it is the feelings at the start of the book that I was having a problem with. See I love to read to escape the unhappy part of life, and the beginning of this story has some hate and dislike and that was my problem. Now that I have that out.

By the time I finished the story I was wanting more. I fell in love with Gabi and Nolan.

Meet Gabriella (most call her Gabi) Welk. She is a hockey player. Also meet Nolan Lund. He is the future CEO of Lund Industries. These two hated (or at least really disliked) each other on sight. It is almost like they cannot be in the same room. Then Nolan witness Gabi being dumped by her boyfriend and things start to change for him.

Gabi gets a job interview for her dream job and is in need of some big help. Everyone she would normally call is out of town, so she turns to Nolan (he knows how to dress). He agrees to help her. Now they are spending lots of time together and getting to know each other. The hate they had for one another turns into respect, then to like, and then do I dare say Love?

Now can what they have built with each other last the storm that is coming? Can a female hockey player and a next CEO of a billion-dollar company find common ground?
