When I sat down to read SEALED AND DELIVERED by Jill Monroe a Harlequin Blaze, I really wasn't sure what to expect. I can't recall reading Ms. Monroe previously, but now I'm going to have to dig through my TBR and see if any other titles are waiting for me.

Hailey Sutherland and her sister, Rachel have returned to the B&B they both thought was not the life they were wanting, but after the management company they had hired practically ran the business to the ground the sisters have decided it's time to take control of the business, and for Rachel perhaps time to reflect on why she keeps finding herself engaged to the wrong sort of man.

Nate Peterson, an injured Navy Seal is training a new crop of Seals while trying to rehab from an injury suffered in the line of duty. His goal is to get his men trained and ready ASAP, and to rehab his leg and be back on the front lines. He has no intention of meeting, dating, or otherwise getting involved with any woman until fate lends a hand, and his path crosses with Hailey's.

Once Nate and Hailey meet the story heats up. The chemistry between them is well written, and doesn't feel the least bit forced. As I read I could feel myself getting dreamy eyed over the kind of hero that Nate is. We could all use a hero like Nate and a friend like Hailey.

I know that many people pick and choose which category lines they are going to read, as do I, and Blaze isn't a line I normally read, but if the stories are of the quality of SEALED AND DELIVERED I could be looking at that line in the future. Regardless, Ms. Monroe has gone on my author to look for list.
