Sammi Jo is all dolled up in her wedding dress, actually she is being fitted for her second wedding dress, which is a tad overwhelming for this down-to-earth girl. Sammi, who grew up in a trailer park, will be marrying Jerrick's most eligible bachelor: Sterling Barclay. Sammi has been a protégée of Sterling's father, and in three weeks, she will be marrying Sterling, whom she likes but does not love; she doesn't want to appear ungrateful, but all the hoopla for the wedding is beginning to wear her down. Christian "Cowboy" Laramie, a SEAL and confirmed bachelor, is going home to Texas for a three-week leave. He plans to remain alone in his cabin in the country: no women, only beer and relaxation. Then he notices a woman in a wedding dress running like crazy: she's his childhood friend Sammi Jo, definitely all grow up. He had once been her knight in shining armour when they were children, and he had told her he'd always be there for her if she needed help, and now does she ever: her fiancé has been kidnapped!

Tawny Weber's latest sexy SEAL is God's gift to womankind, Cowboy Laramie, whose reputation for sexual prowess precedes him everywhere he goes, but Laramie really a good ole boy at heart. This cowboy is a real charmer, but he's not arrogant; it's obvious with his friends and colleagues, and where they share banter that is some of Ms. Weber's finest. Sammi might have some socialite friends, which she retained from university, but she's a simple girl at heart. Laramie and Sammi both of them come from humble backgrounds, although Sammi's was much more harrowing. Tawny Weber usually sets her stories in big cities, and I really loved how she captured the feel of a small town in A SEAL'S DESIRE: the feeling is warm and cozy, not hokey. It was fun how Laramie attacked his mission of finding the missing fiancé, putting all his training to good use. Sammi Jo has always been rather docile, but when push comes to shove, she grows a steel backbone, and Laramie realises that what he saw as a perfect life might have been missing something. There are, of course, some steamy and quite delectable sex scenes, and you may never look at cake frosting quite the same way! Tawny Weber is at her very sassy best in A SEAL'S DESIRE!
