Review: Honor Among SEALs (Hearts of Valor #2) by Dixie Lee Brown

Navy SEALS are trained to take on all enemies in extreme situations—but there’s nothing more dangerous than matters of the heart . . .

This is Matt Iverson’s story.
Working for a security company with his brothers-in-arms has given former SEAL Matt “MacGyver” Iverson a reason to get up every morning. But keeping a runaway bride from harm isn’t in his job description . . .

Former Marine Kellie Greyson is in over her head. A cold-hearted ultimatum leaves her no choice but to wed mob boss Tony Palazzi. But when she overhears his deadly plans for her after she says ‘I do,’ Kellie flees his casino, only to wind up in a seedy Vegas bar. The next thing she knows, she’s waking up beside a protective powerhouse of a man . . .

Though Kellie’s body kickstarts his into high gear, MacGyver is all business trying to convince her that they need each other. Both are looking for missing people—and all roads lead to Palazzi. MacGyver will have to lay all his cards on the table to get Kellie to trust him in a game they might not survive . .

Terri's Thoughts

** I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you!**

I have to admit I really enjoyed this story.  I have not read the first in the series however it appears that it was not necessary to the second one.  Although I think I am convinced to go back and check it out.

What I liked about this story is that it is not the typical contemporary romance that one may expect.  The storyline took off at a lightening speed and didn't slow down until..well the end.  A lot of suspense and action was loaded in to this story in what felt like an incredibly fast read.  Filled with bad guys and good guys. I should clarify hot SEALs!  Also filled with enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.  I was pleasantly surprised by this.

Then there is the romance aspect filled with the instant attraction, plethora of roadblocks and strong personalities.  Did I mention how hot MacGyver was?  The perfect dreamboat.  Gorgeous and tough on the outside and soft with a heart of gold on the inside, pretty much every girls dream.  Honorable mention goes out to Chip the dog who is every girls other hero.

I don't usually seek out suspense type books, not that I don't enjoy them but simply because there is do much else out there that I don't get around to it.  This story made me wonder why.  This story first and foremost is a romance, but has enough other stuff going on that separates itself from the standard formula.  I will be on the lookout for more from this series and this author.
