SEAL Endgame Book 3
Former Navy SEAL Gage Winters is surprised to suddenly have custody of adorable twins after a childhood friend and his wife are killed. Adjusting to life as a new father is hard enough, but when the babies’ gorgeous aunt, Kylie Fredericks, shows up at his doorstep, determined to play a role in the babies’ lives, Gage can’t help but accept her help—at least for now. A loner by nature, Gage isn’t completely happy about sharing his home, even if his new roommate is sexy, single, and a natural around babies. But he’s admittedly in way over his head and while he’s wary of Kylie, he can’t deny how nice it is to have her around. And not just for the babies.
Initially Kylie can’t see why her sister chose Gage as the twin’s guardian, but the longer she stays, the more she realizes that not only is Gage a good father, he’s also a good man. Not to mention pretty easy on the eyes. But Gage has one fatal flaw: he wants more children…and that’s something Kylie can never give him. Though they’re becoming a cozy family, Kylie has to remind herself that she and Gage have no future together.
When Kylie and the twins are attacked in a park, Gage’s protective instincts go into high gear. Keeping the babies and Kylie safe becomes his number one priority. Too bad he didn’t think about protecting his heart. With an unknown threat circling closer by the minute, Gage and Kylie will do whatever they can to keep the babies safe—even if it means risking their own lives and sacrificing the love their hearts are having an increasingly hard time denying.
This novel contains sexual content, violence, and profanity.
My Review:
Romantic suspense has got to be one of my very favorite-est genres to read. And Leslie North does a beautiful job producing it. Give it a military hero and a vulnerable heroine and it’s better than catnip to me. Gage has retired from active service to care for his infant twin godchildren. Kylie’s rushed back from a job overseas to ensure her niece and nephew are safe with the SEAL. But, has Kylie brought home more than memories and grief with her? This pair will need to put all their differences aside to make sure the twins are well cared for and protected. It was almost heartbreaking to watch this pair dance around each other. Much like porcupines, whenever one got to close to a soft spot the other would bristle back aiming for someplace equally tender. I was really impressed that the author took on the topic of infertility with our heroine and the many ways it affects women’s opinions of their own self-worth. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
