Fresh Fiction Review

A SEAL's Pleasure

Reviewed by Monique Daoust

Romance Military | Romance Contemporary

Chief Petty Officer Gabe Thorne wins at everything he does, and he never needs to pursue women because they always fall at his feet until the day he must take action. Gabe's code name is Romeo, for obvious reasons: he is a ladies' man, he never gets involved, but he knows how to always remain a gentleman. Gabe is attending his SEAL colleague and friend Mitch's engagement party when he spots the only woman who ever had the nerve to turn Gabe down: Tessa Monroe. Tessa is gorgeous, and she knows it without being snarky: she's sexy, self-assured and she uses men like tissues. She avoids Gabe like the plague because she knows his type, and she doesn't want a player; she decides when and how to start and end her casual flings. When Gabe tries again to approach Tessa and she brushes him off again, he understands there's only one way to win over this woman: it's time for Operation Romance! A SEAL'S PLEASURE feels like the first day of spring: bright and invigorating! The latest instalment in Ms. Weber's long-running SEAL series is much lighter in tone than the more recent books, which featured darker content. A SEAL'S PLEASURE is bright and airy, vibrant and lively. Ms. Weber's sense of humour makes a comeback in full force: the banter between Gabe and Tessa, especially at the beginning, is quite funny. At the beginning, A SEAL'S PLEASURE seems like what could have been somewhat formulaic but the author chose a different path which surprised both me and Tessa; I think it was a clever move, as it allows for further character development. I like that A SEAL'S PLEASURE features a Native American, Gabe has a Cherokee grandfather, and it is not an issue. It's refreshing to see non-Caucasian characters and that it's taken all in stride; it's simply a part of what makes Gabe what he is, the same as his hair or eye colour. A SEAL'S PLEASURE is a bubbly, sparkling, happy, sexy read.

SUMMARY

Subject: Navy SEAL Gabriel Thorne Mission: Initiate Operation: Romance - and prove that one night isn't enough! Explosives expert and Navy SEAL Gabriel "Romeo" Thorne makes his living tempting fate. Pushing the limits. So far, he's never lost—especially when it comes to women. That is, until his best friend's wedding, where Gabriel is suddenly face-to-face—and deliciously body-to-body—with the one woman hot enough to detonate his self-control. Tessa Monroe is used to being in control with men. Gabriel, on the other hand, is pretty much her sex kryptonite. Hard, gorgeous, dark-eyed kryptonite. Even as her defenses whisper "danger," lust demands she take her pleasure with him and then run. Now they're skirting the edge of an explosive attraction - where one wrong move could mean disaster.
