As with all series I strongly recommend that you read them in order, even though this one can be read as a stand alone. This book here will have you turning the pages wanting to know what’s coming next. The sweetness of it all will having you hanging on. Enjoyed this book more than I realized!

I really enjoyed this book. I’ve read previous books by this author and I really like how there are charactetrs from other books, just at a different stage in their lives. In this one, Kyle is the SEAL that Harmony has always known she could count on. He has been there for her throughout her whole life. He told her when her baby’s father was KIA. Harmony has always been in love with Kyle but he has never really looked at her ‘that’ way. The center of her universe though, is her daughter. Everyone loves Bea.

I love that Kyle is close to his family and considers Harmony and her baby girl a part of it. She has always been in his life and more like a little sister. That is only until she grew up. He knew he would always be there for her but always felt guilty for noticing she was an attractive woman. The family stays close even when there are threats against them. It just brings them closer together and more determined to have each others’ backs. Oveall I totally loved these characters.

It was a 4/5 for me. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this town!

This was a great reminder of why I fell in love with Harlequin books so many years ago. And what’s nice to see is how the brand has evolved over the years. Plus it’s a great way to discover new authors and new series.

Navy SEAL Promise is Kyle’s story (James and Adrian’s son from His Rebel Heart )–he’s all grown up now(!) and a SEAL(!!) It’s a slow burn romance, partly because there’s a forbidden aspect to it (she’s a bit younger, his best friend’s little sister, and used to be involved with another of his good friends, who was killed in action–she’s now raising their daughter as a single mom) and partly because there’s an extra bit of drama going on in the background with a mysterious car and possible attempts on one or more character’s lives.

In other words, a lot is going on here.

Fortunately, the romance is very sweet, and the aforementioned little girl is absolutely adorable. Kyle’s habit of calling Harmony “Carrots” a la Gilbert Blythe and Anne of Green Gables is cute, and they really are an easy couple to root for. The HEA, when it comes, is all that one could wish for.
