Blurb

Curt Bannerman never thought he’d have to follow through with a promise to ensure his best friend’s wife and children were taken care of, in the event of Eric’s death, after the two men retired from the Navy SEALs. But an assassin made the promise a reality. Eighteen months later, he’s still keeping an eye on the family, however, somewhere along the line his feelings for the pretty widow have changed. 

Dana Prichard had been both a mother and a father for her children during her husband’s multiple deployments, but once Eric retired, she thought those days were over. Now she has to do it with no chance of him ever coming home again. While his SEAL teammates have been there for her since Eric’s death, one of them stands above all the rest. The man who is slowly invading her dreams. 

They started as friends, but now, both want more. Can they move past the feelings that they are betraying a dead man by wanting each other? Or is Eric always going to stand between them?

Review:

5 Stars

 

And she does it again!!! What a novella…

You get to see a little bit of Curt in book 4 and I loved how this stared off with the conversation he had with Marco. I was so intrigued that I couldn’t put the book down.

This is a little different than the other books in the series, not so much BDSM focused but still steamy as hell!!

The blurb says it all, so I don’t want to spoil anything about the heartbreakingly beautiful book. What I will tell you is that you will need a box of tissues; I got choked up a few times.

This book was beautifully written. Not that I expect anything less from Samantha! Curt and Dana, own my heart and soul. I loved them from start to finish, as individuals, as a friend, and as a couple. You can fill their anguish from not only still coping with the loss of their best friend/husband but also the struggle they both face with regards to their feelings and the kids were just adorable.

Read this series, I honestly cannot recommend them enough!! Fantastic books…

About the Author:

 

Samantha A. Cole is a retired policewoman and former paramedic who has started a third career as an author. She has lived her entire life in the suburbs of New York City and has plans to become a ‘snow-bird’ between New York and Florida. Her two dogs, Jinx and Bella, keep her company and remind their ‘mom’ to take a break from writing every once in a while to go for a walk, of course with them in tow.

An avid reader since childhood, Samantha was often found with a book in hand and sometimes one in each. After being gifted with a stack of romance novels from her grandmother, her love affair with the genre began in her teens.

Samantha is continuing to work on the Trident Security series as well as a new trilogy, The Malone Brothers. She also has a few other stand-alone books in the works.
