This is a whole different read that i don’t normally read. This read had me hooked from the very beginning and was loving how this story was written so beautifully.

I suggest reading the Salvation Series by Corinne Michaels before reading books in the Society, but it is not a requirement.
Key Points for this story in the Salvation Society Collection:
- Contemporary & Romantic Suspense
- Finding that love worth fighting for.
- Crazy Good Series connection is Maverick and Windsor from Crazy Good
- Salvation Series connection is Liam and Natalie from Consolation Duet

Wage a fierce war and create a legacy of your own choosing
I don't think I love a couple more of Corinne Michaels than Natalie and Liam Dempsey. So getting Aarabelle's story was so perfect.
I love that while this is a love story, it's also about being strong on your own. As a female to pave a way in SEAL history was a great thing to read. The strength it took for her to be pinned, she proved she belonged above all measures. Luke was a legacy on his own, but I think his journey was about finding that one to cherish above ALL! Watching "Lil Dempsey" and Hart build their foundation was great and their chemistry was off the charts. Some of the supporting characters made me so angry in their pettiness, but I know people are definitely like that in real life.
I will say I WASN'T happy about Aaron's role in this book, but it was a beautiful thing to know Aara loved Liam with everything, because he chose to be the father she truly deserved. I will say I was disappointed that she called him dad, he was and will always be her Athair.
I enjoyed watching Aarabelle as a strong woman and you will too.

I really enjoyed this. This is a double crossover from (obviously) the Salvation series, but also from Crazy Good, a book I read earlier this year and REALLY enjoyed. The relationship between Aarrabelle and Luke shouldn't have been and they went through a whole darn lot to make it happen. The journey was worth it though and I really hope this isn't the last we see from the kids of Crazy Good. Thank you to Candi Kane PR and the author for the early copy. I volunteered to leave an unbiased review. All opinions are my own.

Aarabelle Dempsey has always known what she wanted to do...become a Navy SEAL and nothing was going to get in her way. She had SEAL in her blood from her biological father and the man she called Dad. When she meets Luke Hart, there's instant chemistry. But... there are so many rules in place to protect Aarabelle as the only female SEAL. Their relationship is forbidden not only because of the non-fraternization rules but also because Aara is an officer. What Aara doesn't know is that Luke is looking for a loophole in said rules to give them what they both want... a happily ever after.
I loved this story! The characters were well-rounded and multifaceted. I especially loved that the female lead was the one in a position of power, having worked uber hard to get there. She let nothing stand in her way. I loved how the male lead didn't try to knock her down but lifted her up at every opportunity. Their supportive families was also a big draw. This story fits so well into the Salvation world.
I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.

Gah! Where to begin?? Holy Sh!t Aara is a total BADA$$❣️ She’s smart, compassionate & a total BA...and Luke is her exact counterpart! Holy hot alpha bada$$! They complete each other:)
I know Corinne said she could never make Aaron a redeemable character but Rachel absolutely did! I absolutely choked when Aara & he spoke @ Maytons

Aarabelle is going through the process of turning her life around. She reveals to the reader that it’s not only men who serve our country – thank you for your service. Hers is a job that shows there’s no favor based on gender. Luke shows how much tougher it is for women to be accepted in what used to be a men’s only world.
The author did a great job of building the military world around Aarabelle and Luke first before showing the personal side of these two characters. She knew what to give us without bogging down the story so that a reader might feel lost as to what the true story is. It’s a slow build but not overly slow that you’ll want to put the book down.
It was nice to see how our author added to a world by another author as well as continue a story that she had created previously. You won’t need to read it though in order to enjoy this one but you may want to see what these current secondary characters were up to earlier on. And if you’re a fan of military romances that may be another reason to see what Luke did previous to this. The ending was nice but felt that it came to a dead stop – it seemed like it needed to go on for a little longer to give me a sense of finality.
