Cover blurb:
Navy SEALS are trained to take on all enemies in extreme situations—but there’s nothing more dangerous than matters of the heart . . .
This is Matt Iverson’s story.
Working for a security company with his brothers-in-arms has given former SEAL Matt “MacGyver” Iverson a reason to get up every morning. But keeping a runaway bride from harm isn’t in his job description . . .
Former Marine Kellie Greyson is in over her head. A cold-hearted ultimatum leaves her no choice but to wed mob boss Tony Palazzi. But when she overhears his deadly plans for her after she says ‘I do,’ Kellie flees his casino, only to wind up in a seedy Vegas bar. The next thing she knows, she’s waking up beside a protective powerhouse of a man . . .
Though Kellie’s body kickstarts his into high gear, MacGyver is all business trying to convince her that they need each other. Both are looking for missing people—and all roads lead to Palazzi. MacGyver will have to lay all his cards on the table to get Kellie to trust him in a game they might not survive . . .

This is the second book in the Hearts of Valor series, and MacGyver was one of my favorite characters from the first so I was really looking forward to this one! And while I enjoyed the first one, I thought this was a much stronger and tighter storyline that I enjoyed immensely.
Matt ‘MacGyver’ Iverson is a former Navy SEAL who has started a security company with several of his friends and former teammates. (I have to say that is one of my favorite tropes in romantic suspense!) While working a case in Las Vegas he encounters Kellie Greyson, a runaway bride fleeing from a forced wedding to a mobster. Kellie is trying to find her sister Anna who is missing and she knows Tony Palazzi was involved in the disappearance. Both Mac and Kellie have reasons to mistrust each other, but they find themselves drawn together in the attempt to escape Tony and find the truth.
There is a lot of action and adventure, but also quite a bit of humor in the book, and I would definitely recommend it to fellow fans of the genre!
