I was given this ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
Seth is dreamy, that's for sure. Add in the beach, and you've got the perfect summer love story. The Barringer's will all fight for what they believe in but they are defiantly more lovers than anything. So when Seth gets gobsmacked, he gets GOBSMACKED!!!
Love this sweet addition to the Barringer Brothers series.

Seth that boy is different from his brothers he's not that aggressive or alpha but he had a wicked sense of humor, "uh, let's see. I'll sleep till effing noon and then I'll get up and scratch my a** and then I'll go plant myself out there to watch the bikini parade. Oh, and I'll be sure to think of you toiling away in your welder's mask while I do it." Noelle she was cute you couldn't help but love her, "her mouth dropped open. "We're going to see baby animals?" she asked excitedly. "I love baby animals." Seth sometimes takes his humor a little to far, "I can't kiss you, Noelle. And it's your fault." She pulled back slightly, but I pulled her back toward me and smiled. "You should have told them 'no onions'." Seth I enjoyed him, I mean his story, it was different from his brothers.

Seth is the third book in the Barringer Brothers series and I really enjoyed this book. This book tells about Seth Barringer and what happens to him one summer when he has to stay on land for a while. His regular job is an underwater welder, and so he needed to stay on land for a while to avoid getting the bends from being underwater too long. So Seth and his friend rent a beach house right on the sand and work at a temporary welding job on a building going up.
It is here that he meets Noelle and in his own words(as he made fun of his brother Gage and twin brother Luke, who we met in the Rain shadow series, books 1 through 5 and in the first book of this series Gage), he gets 'gobsmacked'!
However Noelle is a widow and she is still hung up on the first and only man she ever loved who was killed in Afghanistan-Hayden. He was her first and only love and two years later still wears his dog tags around her neck.
This book tells their story and what happens between them, and Seth's road to finding his one and only, and Noel's dealing with trying to move forward from her past. This book is really well written and in true Tess Oliver fashion, has a lot of emotional angst and a good plot with a lot of love, lust, and some humorous moments between some of the characters, namely the brothers. It also stresses a problem all too common in our lifetimes, and that is a lot of young men going off to war and not coming back, and how hard it is too move on.
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to many more books to come from this author. Read this book and find out what happens, and if you have not read the others, I recommend reading Rain Shadow Series, 1 -5, and Gage and Cash followed by this book, Seth!
I gave this book 5 ***** stars, and hope to read another book in this series, with all of these characters we have come to know and love!

4 Feeling sad stars!!!
I had such high hopes for this book, and I feel sad that I am not able to give it a 5 stars if not for the ending I would have. My personal opinion is that the book could have been a bit longer with a better declaration of love, I wanted stars exploding and earth shaking for them but for me it felt dull and boring.
Look I fell in love with Seth in Gage's book he was funny as hell and adorable sweet and lovable. Noelle was a difficult character for me. I liked her and I could feel sorry for her for the bitter loss she had to struggle through but... I don't know..... I cant seem to put my finger on what I did not like.
I know the problem is most likely me, I have a tendency to have high hopes for book characters I feel connected to and Seth was one of them.

"He was a character, a charming, handsome and incredibly brave character. And it seemed that I might have played my hand so wrong, so coolly, that he had lost interest in me. Which, I'd told myself more than once on the drive to his house, was a good thing. Right. A good thing. Shit."
Such is the complicated dynamic between our misunderstood hero and struggling heroine Seth and Noelle. Noelle is faced with an overwhelming sense of guilt and shame over an undeniable attraction to transient underwater welder Seth who arrives unexpectedly in her beach town home.
It's a rollercoaser ride of a book, with emotions up one minute only to be brought abruptly back down again in the next breath, just when you think this fledgling friendship has a chance at romance something happens to derail the happiness, whether it's self-sabotage and insecurities or third party interference.
Tess Oliver showcases her innate compassion and understanding of human emotions as she categorises Noelle's turbulent feelings towards the man with the swagger, arrogance and stigma of being a bit of a love 'em and leave 'em type of ripped, tattooed bad boy. The initial introduction to Seth makes him seem rather laid back if a bit fickle and indifferent when it comes to girls and his lack of respect for them but through the progression of the story and through Noelle's perspective we get to see a depth to Seth, he's caring, loyal and has a modesty that is sometimes camouflaged by his funny and confident personality. There was a wickedly slimy adversary to add an element of drama and violence to the plot as well as some very good side players whose personalities although not always agreeable definitely popped off the page to shake things up a bit. Noelle's back story is heart-wrenching and you can literally feel her indecision and confusion when it comes to the delectable Seth but will she be able to push those negative thoughts aside and grab onto a happily ever after with the sexy and sweet Barringer but more importantly will Seth use his wicked charm and fight for his forever girl? You definitely have to read this to find out. Another great addition to the series with Tess's attention to dialogue and interaction bringing the book up to the five star mark.
"Ask it of me, Noelle. I'm willing to go as slow as you need. It will take all of my resolve and self-control because I'm dying to touch you, but I can do it. Just ask me."

Given ARC by author for Honest Review ... Thank You Tess!!
I know I keep saying this with every Tess Oliver book I read, but WOW Tess - you did it again!!! I am in LOVE with another Barringer brother! This is one of my FAVORITE series I have ever read!!
Seth was a GREAT read. I couldn't put it down. I read it all in one night after putting the kids to bed - I just couldn't stop till I was done and still wanted more! I want to see all the brothers together with their girls ... maybe a wedding or 2, or 3 ... just saying :)
I loved the story of of Seth & Noelle. Seth goes to California to take a break from his job as an underwater welder to give his body a break & rents a house on the beach with a friend to work on a construction site. Seth like his other brothers is an arrogant player and uses his looks & attitude to get whatever and whomever he wants - he has never had a woman turn him down ... until Noelle. Noelle works across the street from the construction site with her grandfather-in-law (an ex professional surfer) in his surf shop. Seth is taken with Noelle from the first time he saw her - showering on the beach to wash the sand off her after surfing! Noelle on the other hand can see Seth for whom he is - a cocky womanizer who uses his charms to get women to sleep with him and then moves on to the next girl waiting for a chance to be with him. Noelle is also battling some serious feelings of lust vs guilt. She is VERY attracted to Seth, but is mourning her dead husband Hayden, her high school sweetheart who died in the war 2 years earlier when his helicopter was shot down. She feels like she is betraying Hayden by having feelings for Seth, so she is willing to give up a relationship that would make her happy to continue grieving for someone who will never return to her. Is Noelle his Forever Girl?? You have to read it to find out!
Seth being a Barringer doesn't give up!! He is not pushy & in her face, he lets the relationship build at a pace that Noelle is comfortable with. Over time and after a few circumstances, obstacles, and up & down emotions (I am not going to give everything away - you have to read the book - TRUST ME - you will Thank Me!) their relationship becomes stronger.
This was truly a great read - but I want more of their story!! OK Tess - bring on Jericho!!!

☆☆4.5☆☆
I was given a copy for a honest review. I love the Barringer brothers and this series! Everything that Tess has written has been a heart stopper and a beautiful read. This one was no different. I loved that the heart breaker finally met his forever girl in Noelle. Someone who never expected to get past her own loss and devastation to open herself up again. These two were made for each other. I did not like Rocko or Grace to much. Seemed like meddling busy bodies to me. Loved that Luke and Gage made a small appearance in the book. What i love even more is the setting, the beach! This story was beautiful and it was good to see that behind the charm is a man, Seth, with a heart of gold. Some of the drama that unfolded seemed a little unnecessary and the way it ended was too quick but overall the book is going to be a hit. I can't wait to see more of Seth and Noelle's story because this was just the beginning. I know I will need more of them soon! Great job Tess!

The next installment in the Barringer Brothers Series by Tess Oliver is Seth! Oh Seth, he's such a great guy, always a charmer, a looker and fearless, except with his heart. He's your standard one-night stand kind of guy, love them and leave them, good for a fun time and nothing more. Noelle is a girl with a history, after losing her soulmate and husband to the war, she is just going through the motions of living, protecting her fragile heart from everyone and never letting anyone get close. When they meet it's an emotional roller coaster but in the sweetest way. You really get to see Seth grow as a person and you get to see Noelle find her resolve and the strength that allows us all to keep going after loss. Theirs isn't a picture perfect love-story, it's complicated and confusing and just plain perfect. A wonderful look at real-life relationships. Tess does it again, takes you into their world and makes you fall in love.

The Barringer boys are like no other. They seem rough and wild, enjoying their women fast and loose, but have hearts full of love. As members of the Gobsmacked Club all the boys have fallen in love and left their single days behind them. Seth is one of the twins, the other one is Luke from the Rainshadow series, and Gage is the older brother. Seth has a military past and a job as an underwater welder. He is working on land for the summer when he falls for Noelle, a widow of the war in Iraq and fellow water lover. While she gets over the loss of her husband Seth is falling hard. Oliver always brings out the sweet and gentle side of these chick magnets. With her stories we get an adventure in love and suspense. Some nasty businessman is stirring the pot and lucky for all Seth is also a hero. This novel is a standalone but please read the others, you won't regret it. Thank you Tess for my copy so I could give a review.

I was a little disappointed in this one. I really felt that Noelle got off easy. I wanted to see more effort put in by her. Seth did soooooooooooo much for her. Gave her these amazing dates, was so understanding about not letting her forget about her dead husband and he was just so head over heals in love with her. But Noelle, I just was disappointed that when the "climax" happened and she said she couldn't be with Seth anymore and then changed her mind when she realized how much she really cared for him. She never really made up for that. She just kinda was like...oh...ok...I love you again. And Seth was so in love with her that he was just like, OK. And then what really happened in the end...did he move there, did they move in together? The story just kind of stopped.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I honestly loved it! We now get to the story of the next Barringer Brother Seth. I really liked the characters in this book especially Seth, Noelle and Greg. Seth is quite the hero and Noelle is struggling to be a part of the world again after loosing her husband. Greg her Grandfather-In-Law is a strong presence in her life and becomes special to Seth as well. He is such a likable guy. Love how Seth finds his "Forever Girl" . We even have a small appearance by Gage and Luke. It can be read as a stand alone, but I think you would enjoy even more reading in order of the series, I know I did.

Seth, Seth, Seth....oh how I love you! This book can definitely be read as a standalone, but to get the full picture, you should really read Rain Shadow 1-5, Gage and Cash. They are all great books! I can't wait for Jericho.
Seth and Noelle's story is a story of two people struggling with their past and trying to move on. Seth's is dealing with how he used to be a player and wanting to change for Noelle. Noelle's is about struggling with the death of her soul mate two years ago to the war in Afghanistan. There are some twists that throw a wrench in things, but maybe love can conquer all. Great read. Don't miss it!

Seth (sigh) you can't have him, he's mine.
I love the Barringer brothers, Luke, Gage and Seth, and I don't know if I could choose between them. For now I'm holding Seth near and dear, cause he's funny and charming, in a melt your panties kind of way, and melt your heart kind of way too.
Note this is part of a series but can be read as a standalone
Seth has all the yummy man qualities, tall, tough, & gorgeous but he's also a playboy.
Noelle has seen tragedy in its raw form and hasn't loved again since

Seth is the third book in the Barringer Brothers series and it does not disapoint
I have loved all the books in the series but Seth was so sweet and such a hero how could you not fall in love with him
Noelle lost her husband while he was fighting in the army and has never gotten over him. When she meets Seth it is the first time a man has actually shown up on her radar since.
It is not all smooth sailing for the couple but there is plenty of action and adrenaline pumping moments to keep you wanting more

I liked this book, as I have the other books in the series, but I found some of the dialgue to be a little immature and not really a representation of the ages of the characters. Maybe, I am just getting too old to be reading books with characters in their early to mid twenties!! ;)
I liked the relationships between all the characters and I thought Tess wrote very sensitively about the young widow - that itself must have been a hard task.
A well written, easy read.

I loved Seth's story as much as the other Barringer brothers books. The characters are detailed and have great connections to the other characters. There is loss, uncertainty and sexual attraction. Will a couple months be enough to find true happiness? This is one book you do not want to miss out on reading. Great series, talented author, amazing book!

I thought it would be heartbreaking, and it was in a way. The h disappointed. I can't help it, she was a tease and gave me whiplash with her back and forth.
I though Seth would be unlikable because he was a man-ho in previous books but ultimately the h let me down.
After 3 stories by this author it's pissing me off that the characters don't even say I love you.

I absolutely love the Barringer brothers. Seth was another good installment from Tess.
Seth is a strong lovable softy nothing like is two alpha brothers (Gage is my Fav), but he can hold his own and fight for the girl. The ending has left me me wanting more from the Barringers....

DNF. Only made it to 25%. No chemistry between the main characters. Awkward wording/poor writing. A couple of examples:
"Badly, I wanted to accidentally brush my calloused fingertips over her bare skin."
"I will hit that smug face of yours out the back of your head.”

3 1/2 stars for this one. I liked it and it was a good story but I didn't love it like the others. I was looking forward to Seth, and as hot as I found him, this book just left me wanting more.

The fact that the H slept with hs room mate first put a dampener on this then to have it end abruptly made me give it a 2 1/2 stars

Am truly bummed that this 3rd book in a great series didn't turn out as fabulous as the first 2!☹️
Seth seemed pretty cocky in the previous book with his cameo appearance and I wasn't sure if his character would mature enough in his own story.
Seth was impressive all while being completely honest that he had been a real jerk to the majority of the female population. But his heroism was outstanding.
Noelle, was the problem character for me. I just didn't like her. I thought that at times she was too whiny..(yes, she had tragedy strike but when she started to constantly compare Seth to her husband Hayden that's when it became a problem for me.) so I just gave up on the story... Rather then chuck my kindle across the room. I am hoping that Jericho and the 4th book in this series will redeem the series.

Ok so I was wrong!! I thought my favorite brother was Gage but NO!!!! It's now Seth!!
This man is sweet, swoon worthy, alpha-male, caring, loving, protective over those he loves and cares deeply. He just had his sights on a woman who has given her heart away to another man. The other problem is that thus man is never coming back to her and she dies t want to move on without him.
Seth has to give her time. Tread lightly. Get her to come around to his persuasions. One problem he has is his reputation . He's been known as a womanizer.
This whole series has had me knotted up with emotions all weekend long. I love me some Barringer brothers.

Seth is an underwater welder vacationing on the beach. Noelle is a widowed surf shop manager not looking for romance. But When Seth comes into Noelle's world can she resist him and his charm or will she start having feeling for the tough guy? Can Seth convince Noelle he is worth risking her heart again?

LOVE THESE BROTHERS!!! Is it me or do these brothers keep getting hotter and hotter? I'm loving that each of these brothers is getting his own book. Tess writes brilliantly. I can't wait to read Jericho's story next.

This was a story about finding love again, which used to be trope that did not appeal to me, but now it does.
