For the Love of a SEAL (Hearts of Valor #3) – Dixie Lee Brown


Expected publication date: April 9th, 2019

Cover blurb:
On every deployment, Navy SEALS face impossible odds—and succeed. But winning over the perfect woman will be the most challenging mission yet . . . 

This is Blake Sorenson’s story.
 
The security company that former SEAL Blake Sorenson works for helps him stay in fighting form—physically and mentally. He has little time for distractions of the female variety, which is fine with him. His fickle ex-wife taught him that love and loyalty don’t mix. Which is why he should eighty-six the rookie reporter he finds in his helicopter. The sexy stowaway in red stilettos is sure to be trouble . . .
 
A single mom, Tori Michaels can’t afford to lose her job because of an impossibly arrogant ex-sailor. But hitching a ride with Blake puts her right in the middle of a conflict brewing between the law and a dangerous hate group. When suspicions are raised over which side Tori is on, Blake has to choose whether to trust in her innocence or lose her. But in choosing to protect her, he’s making himself vulnerable to a desire he thought he’d never feel again—and an enemy he doesn’t see coming . . . 

This is one series where I’ve actually enjoyed each successive book over the previous one and this third installment in the series was a great, HOT read! I really liked the duo of Blake and Tori as they played off each other’s personalities well to create a strong couple, though it was pretty rocky at a couple of points. That isn’t to say this outing was perfect because there was one HUGE plot point especially that was problematic but honestly even though I recognized it, it didn’t really bring the story down for me. For me, the characters new and old were the biggest draw and hey, even the kid didn’t bother me! (Which is pretty rare, lol!) I especially love the interaction between the guys on the team with the addition of Kellie (from ‘Honor Among SEALs’) bringing some feminine kickass to the mix. I’m really looking forward to the next outing with the team from PTS Security!
