Navy SEAL to the Rescue by Tawny Weber
AEGIS Security #1

What’s a head hunter to do when the man being scouted for the job is killed in front of her and she is in a foreign country? Run for her life, of course. Running from the scene of the crim landed her in the arms of former Navy SEAL Travis “Hawk” Hawkins who questions her veracity but soon is helping her to find out what really happened while keeping her safe from the bad guys. Lila Adrian knows a thing or two about SEALs and usually keeps her distance due to that knowledge but over time she is drawn physically, mentally and emotionally to Hawk just as he is drawn to her. There are a couple of kidnappings, some rescues, some sleuthing and violence and eventually a HFN/HEA for Lila and Hawk with Hawk finding out what a SEAL might be able to do after being medically discharged from the service.

This is an easy quick read that I read as more fantasy than reality Romantic Suspense because I can’t really see a way that Lila would have been allowed to do some of the things she did. Lila was smart in some ways and at other times let her emotions/temper rule and when that happened made some mistakes that saw her in hot water. Hawk was a stand-up protective guy who was there for Lila throughout...once he decided that he would be. They may have gotten off to a rocky start but they did find their way through the rough patches to an ending that sets up the series and left me wanting to read more. This was a great introduction to a new series and typical of a Harlequin romance so if you read HQN and enjoy their books you will enjoy this one, too.

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
