SEALs of Honor: Books 4-6 Swede, Shadow and Cooper by Dale MayerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Great value collection of SEAL stories.
Swede - 4*
Swede had watched his brothers in arms fall for their perfect women and just hoped one day he would be as lucky. He then pushed those thoughts away as he was on a mission in Mexico watching a rebel camp only to stumble upon a group of civilians - including the one woman he thought was wrong for him. Eva had a long time love of animals and so when a friend asked her to come help move some suffering horses from Mexico to new homes she felt she couldn't refuse. However, she finds herself in trouble until she sees Swede who is determined to keep her safe and extract her from the danger no matter the personal cost. Can she protect her heart and can they beat the rebel's plan which will not be a happy ending for either of them?
This was a powerful story which included lots of danger and drama as they fought to save the animals, each other and found something perfect at the same time. I loved the way it wasn't a simple matter of boy and girl meet in a dangerous scenario and after a miraculous escape, they lived happily ever after. Instead, it was more difficult as Eva needed a lot of persuasions to go with her hidden feelings and they needed compromise, in the end, to find a way forward. Well written I liked the exploration of their emotions and feelings.
Shadow - 4*
Shadow has ignored the uphill struggle of life concentrating instead of being a great SEAL until he has to go and rescue Arianna and her family when his world goes from controlled to chaos. Arianna struggles to cope with the world of kidnappings and beatings that she has been plunged into although there is one very good thing (or person) - the darkest and most dangerous saviour she has ever met. Shadow has no idea what to do with her, although she has a few ideas - however she is marked for elimination and he has to save her before he loses something he had no idea he wanted in the first place, and now he realises he can't live without. Can he save her?
This is a great story with a dark and dangerous SEAL not realising what he has until almost the last moment. It had lots of drama, danger and excitement as he fought to save Arianna. A sweet story even if there were times I seriously wanted to cuff him around the head and explain the way things were developing between them both. A great HEA at the end to make you feel all gooey. Well written and enjoyable.
Cooper - 4*
Dr. Sasha Childs saved committed SEAL Cooper's life and stole his heart, but as a married woman, he knew nothing could happen. However, when he hears that she is kidnapped he is the first to volunteer to go and rescue her. Sasha has devoted her life to helping others but when he finds her husband in bed with her best friend, she knows everything is over. Feeling unsettled she volunteers as a medic in a Syrian refugee camp in order to pull her life together. With his hands full rescuing Sasha once. when back in the US it becomes almost impossible to save her from them a second time. But with this miracle in his life, he has to do whatever it takes to save the woman he loves before it is too late.
This was very much a mystery as Cooper and Sasha tried to find out why she was kidnapped and to try and have a chance at a future together. There was a lot of drama and intrigue as they worked their way through the mysteries that they were faced with. It was a sweet love story that like the previous book in the series was a bit frustrating as Cooper struggled to catch on that she really wanted him. It was great when they eventually had the HEA they needed even though I found it a little frustrating the way the story ended a little abruptly (missing out what happened to those who had kidnapped her in the end). On the whole, well written and very enjoyable.
