This series by Amy Gamet will keep you in suspense, melt your heart and leave you wanting more. Each episode has a hero that is swoonworthy, may be a little broken, but his ability to love and protect will win your heart. The women are strong, and spunky, each having their own need of protection or help. And just when you think you have a favorite, you will read the next and find another! This is a wonderful series, narrated by Janelle Tedesco. It's one of my favorites and I am hoping there will be more soon!

The intimate romance scenes could have been kicked up a notch. They were close to 'Fast Food'. Nice, but not hot and steamy. They are what I would call 'Adult', but just barely.
The writing and flow is off the charts perfection.
Loaded with surprising twist & turns.
Great mystery and crime elements.
Very well done suspense. Loaded with action.
I'm impressed enough that I am reading Book#2 now.

Sheltered by the SEAL by Amy Gamet
4.5 Stars
The two MC's, Jessa McConnell and Jax Andersson are great characters. You really feel connected to them. They are very well written.
There is suspense, action, twist and turns on virtually every page. It definitely keeps you involved in the story.
The writing itself flows easy and smooth.
I really enjoyed the story.
I did find 2 minor errors. But my only real problem with them is the intimate scenes. They tend to be a bit rushed and not quite detailed enough. They really need to be more descriptive. They just need to be taken up about 2 notches. They will start to get steamy, then fade to black. Until I see her up these sections of her stories, I cannot give her more than 4 stars.

I don't know what happened.
The 1st two books were pretty good.
This one was...... Disappointing.
Very little character build. Both Cowboy & Charlotte have been mentioned in the previous books just enough to tease us about their ongoing temptation for each other. So this book should have given us all the character build to help us really connect to them.
That did not happen. All we have to go on is mostly what we already knew about them from the previous books. So there is very little about what makes them tick or bring them to life for the reader.
There are a couple of adult intimate scenes. They were okay. In truth, they came close to being 'run-of-the-mill'.
It was hard to feel any emotional connection to either mc.
The suspense was jumpy and haphazard.
While there were a couple of decent scenes, mostly it just was not well written. The suspense did not flow smoothly. It felt like half the story was missing.
I don't remember finding any editing errors.
Because this book was so disappointing I looked back at my notes from the other books in this series I read.
It is those notes that convinced me to continue to check out the authors other books and not base my experience with her writing on this one.

Stranded...āāāā
I loved this story. It was sweet, sexy, and had some kick-ass action and suspense. The chemistry between the hero and heroine was undeniable. It was kind of insta-love with them, but I loved both Hawk and Olivia.
Sheltered...āā
I honestly did not like the heroine, Jessa. I understand grief, but what she did was just plain foul. Then thereās Jax. One minute, I really felt for him. The next minute, Jax would do something to make me want to smack him. If a woman keeps telling you over and over and over again that a one-stand meant nothingāwalk away! I don't care how much your natural lie-detector radar was going off. Seriously, I just couldnāt understand how he could profess love for her in the midst of all the fighting and deception. She definitely didn't pull any punches with the bitterness and angerā¦not even when Jax confirmed that he saw a sniper outside her home and her life was in danger. They finally got it together in the end, but for me, the damage was already done.
Harbored...āāā
I didnāt appreciate the way Charlotte booked herself on the same cruise as Cowboy knowing that it was an assignment. Cowboy works with her brother, Logan at HERO Force, so she was definitely aware that this could be something dangerous. She knew about the kind of work they do there. Even after Cowboy explains to Charlotte how important this job is, how his position with HERO depends upon the success of this missionāeverything--she acts like a spoiled brat calling him a coward. Sheās so darn selfish wanting to have a fling that she didn't care about being a distraction or breaking his cover, messing up his job, or making him break "bro code." I didnāt even want to finish reading after that, and I triedātwice.
But Iām no quitter, so I went for a third time. It got much better. The sex was definitely hot, and the suspense was really good. I still felt like Charlotte was out of line for putting herself on that cruise though.

JUSTICE FOR THE SEAL
5 Stars
This is a book 5 in the H.E.R.O. Force series and it features H.E.R.O. Force member Logan O'Malley and Judge Gemma Faraday. This is a fantastic story line with superb action from cover to cover. Gemma was amazing! All she's been through and what she survived and she still has enough confidence to go after a sexy younger man. You go girl! And Logan? He's amazing, super smart and he's everything Gemma deserves.This is my favorite book in the series so far. The ending was so unexpected! I can't wait to read more of this fabulous series.
MARRIED TO THE SEAL
3.5 Stars
This is book 4 in the HERO Force series and it features Matteo Cruz and Grace Vasile. Their marriage was legal but it was not born out of love. I guess it would be hard to spend EVERY day with someone, especially someone who looked and behaved like the SEAL he was, and not develop feelings for him.The scene in the hotel between them was a total turn OFF for me. It lasted too long and was taken to a whole other level. There was no real SEAL-type action in this story, which was a little disappointing. After the ending, I'm definitely looking forward to book 5.
