About this listen

Zane Alexander was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but the rebellious bad boy traded it in for a Navy SEAL trident.

Now, Zane's teammates are depending on him to get the startup capital they need to open their security company and he's gambling on his skills at covert operations. For a million dollars, he'll fake interest in Missy Greenwood, the Senator's daughter his father wants him to date in exchange for the investment.

But when Missy is kidnapped and Zane and his team are sent to Nigeria to rescue her and the schoolgirls being held, bullets as well as sparks of attraction start to fly. There's no more faking when both the danger and the emotions are all very real.

Wonderful

I love military stories and this one was good. As I listen to more and more books, I find narrators that I like and Craig Jessen is one of them. He brought the story to life. Very good.

The Scene Transitions Did Not Seem Very Detailed

I listened to the audio book. It was supposed to be a 4+ hr listen, but it did not seem that long. The narration was ok. When the book began, it was hard for me to distinguish one character from another. This got easier as I moved forward in the book.

It was a quick read with some romance and action, but I did not expect it to move as quickly as it did. I thought there would be more details. Like when Zane's team went to Nigeria to rescue Missy, I thought there would be a lot more to that part of the story. The team got the word about the rescue. The team was told to sit tight, and the next scene, they were rescuing Missy, driving away from the camp, and then she was at home.

We could only infer that only 6 students survived because no one would answer Missy's questions. There was nothing said about what happened to Missy's friend after the rescue. That was just one part of the book that felt like it raced through the entire situation. At so many points I expected so much more.

There were steamy parts. The romantic parts occurred at the beginning of the book for me. Overall, the book didn't feel like it was enough. It was ok, but seemed to skim through the story. There was an HEA. I guess the ending was HEA'y enough.

good

While I did enjoy listening to the audio for Saved by a SEAL, and there were lots of good in the story, I don't think this was a good fit of a story for me - and maybe it was because I mostly only listened to it while I was driving to/from work, so the constant start/stop left me feeling a bit disconnected to the story and characters. I also think it's more a personal preferences thing that made me not really connect with the story- I'm sure others will enjoy this wholeheartedly.

I also wasn't a huge fan in the narration of it - which may have also affected things for me. While I adjusted to and enjoyed the narrator's take on Zane's voice, I wasn't a huge fan of the other character's voices or how some scenes were acted out.

Missy was awesome in knowing herself, being able to fight through her insecurities, and being willing to chase down what she wanted. However that same assertiveness also made me wince at times (although Zane seemed to like it, and that's what matters). She also had a heart of gold in wanting to teach the girls in Nigeria and doled out forgiveness which softened me towards her.

I loved Zane's sense of protectiveness and how his integrity refused to follow through on a bad decision. However, dude was quite the jerk a few times and even though he won Missy over, and even though I kinda softened towards him with some of his actions in Nigeria, I still wasn't as drawn to him as a hero as I wish I could have been.

I loved their first date and how they were able to build off their past connection. And I loved the moments in the truck together. But I also felt the kidnapping and rescue was a bit anti-climatic and wish more time would have been expanding upon that instead of the repetitive internal dialogue from both Zane and Missy.

If your looking for a SEAL story where the emphasis is more on the relationship and less on the action (suspense) and enjoy an assertive heroine and a hero who has some jerky moments he's gotta sort out, this would be a great fit.

Intriguing series

This is a newer author for me, I am very happy to have picked up this book. It was a quick little read that was rather delightful. Plenty of action and steam in this short read.

Love Zane’s attitude and Missy’s sass! They are quite the pair, attracted to each other but not wanting to fall into their parent’s plans. It was a swift leap to love with this book, something I am not always a fan of, I prefer the whole courtship over time.

I love a mixed narrative, really helps you see both characters clearly and understand their motives. It is especially key here because they are not really on the same page when things start. I do see this as a love will grow sort of relationship.

The smexy stuff is delicious, especially when read by Craig Jessen who is a delightful narrator. His smooth tone rolls over you as he keeps the story moving at a steady pace. I will definitely be looking for more of his reads!! Yummy yummy!

In the end I would have liked the story to be a bit longer, I think that would have helped sell the romance more. Do not get me wrong there is chemistry, but it is more lust than love at this point. I tend to like more show than tell in my romances. I will be looking for other reads from this author, because I hear she has more hot SEALs! Love a man in uniform!

Strong story, strong narration

Missy and Zane had known each other as children and teenagers. I loved how they reconnected and had a more grown up attraction. Missy was strong willed and wanted to be more independent from her family. Zane was very protective of her until he realized that it was more. They definitely were a fun couple when they were conversing. Craig Jessen made the characters come alive, and I enjoyed his changes in voice. I recommend this story.

I received a copy of this audiobook as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.

Will Zane take his father's money with the terms he set?

What would you do to get someone to invest a million dollar to help start a new company? Would you sell you soul to the Devil of a father who one want to control you and will only give you the money to benefit himself? That's is what Zane is looking at when he takes Melissa out. But then he regrets using her and tells her the truth and walks away from the money and her. Will Zane and the team ever get the startup money they need? What will Zane do when Melissa is taken hostage when she is overseas?
