Threatened

SEAL Endgame #3

by Leslie North

A Navy SEAL can survive anything. Except a broken heart…

Former Navy SEAL Gage Winters knows how to keep cool under pressure. But he’s out of his depths after a friend’s tragic death leaves him caring for orphaned twins. When Kylie, the babies’ stunningly beautiful aunt, offers to help, Gage is wary. Giving up his treasured solitude, and not giving in to the smoldering attraction he feels for Kylie, may be more of a challenge than he can handle…

Kylie doesn’t trust Gage, and wants custody of the twins… Until she sees how good he is with the babies. His gruff exterior hides a sweet, caring soul—not to mention a sexy, chiseled body. And when danger strikes, Gage becomes the ultimate protector.

But just as Kylie starts to believe they could be a real family, she discovers she’s the one putting them all in harm’s way. To keep Gage and the babies safe she’ll have to risk losing her new love.

And possibly her life, as well…

When Kylie Fredericks’s sister dies and leaves her twins with her friend Gage Winters, she goes to the place he lives to see how things are with the babies. She is at first brokenhearted that she wasn't given custody of them, so she stays with Gage to have a way to stay in their lives. But on her days there she begins to see he is a good man and they even start having feelings for each other, but she is afraid to let her hopes up with him because she can't have children and every man who she had relationships in the past left her when knowing this. Will he be different and do they have a chance at a future together?
Lovely story, Gage and Kylie were great together and the way they are with the babies was cute

I have to be honest this is my first Leslie North book will it be my last is the ultimate question though, and the straight up answer is no. I thoroughly enjoyed Guarding his Unexpected Twins, while it is a standalone it does belong in with the rest of the Seal Endgame, as from the name each one is about a seal, This one is about Gage and the beautiful Kylie. The way that Gage becomes the guardian of a set of twins is sad, but he stepped up to the plate and did his best, I Loved that it shows just how difficult and scary it is having a baby or babies in this case is, especially when you are not a baby person. Gage was a really good character, well thought out and developed Kylie it took me a little longer to warm up to her, once I did they both came relatable, the progression of the story between the both of them was beautiful. The grief they both had to work through especially Kylie . I cannot imagine what it must have been like for her, when you through in doubts confusion and their own insecurities it isn't exactly a recipe for success. Yet the story flows well and pulls at your heart strings that the time you have invested into to the story is well rewarded. It pulled at my heart strings which most of the time a lot of books fail to do. Gage is like his name yes he is strong but doesn't like to air his feelings and wants things done his way. Kylie is a free spirit that on paper doesn't or shouldn't work, but in reality does the chemistry is undeniable between them. Do they act on it or do they remain as friends, Jealousy anger and sadness dominate but hope and happy endings are also here. In brief I enjoyed the story well done LESLIE NORTH.

After the death of his best friend and his wife, Gage Winters is given custody of their twins. Kylie Fredericks, the wife’s sister, shows up one night to keep an eye on Gage. She wants to make sure he will make a good parent and try to find out why she wasn’t given custody of the children. This causes a lot of tension and arguments between them at first but an incident at the park changes things.

This was a quick read filled with love, danger and crying babies. I liked Gage and Kylie's relationship and the trials they faced.

I enjoyed this read. There are plenty of emotions to be dealt with as Kylie and Gage's story unfolds. I felt that the storyline had a very realistic air. I could feel for both these characters. Fate stepped in and really took their lives in a direction they never expected. I enjoyed the evolution of their relationship. I liked that things moved at a logical pace and that helped to create a couple that was easy to connect with and root for. I thought that this was a very entertaining book.

I have not read a bad book from this author yet and this book is no exception! The great plot and character development kept me so engaged throughout the entire book that I had a very hard time putting this book down until the very last page was turned!

Congrats! You are now a father of twins, a girl and a boy.

Gage Winters thought his SEAL training had prepared him for anything and everything. Was he ever wrong! Training and experience had taught the SEALs that the odds were that, at some point in their career, a friend or acquaintance would be killed, wounded, suffer from PTSD, or suffer from the throes of addiction to drugs or alcohol. Death and taxes are the only certainties of life!

After the deaths of his best friend,Tucker and Tucker's wife, Christine, two weeks ago in a car accident, the custody of eight-month-old twins, Maya and Brennan, has been given to Gage per their wills. He's a batchelor with no experience with kids, let alone babies, and he's now in custody of twins! BUD/S training was a snap compared to this. Online reading says the twins should be sleeping thru the night and napping during the day. If he could only get them to read it for themselves and agree to it. 

In the past, he's made mistakes in his life, but he swears to never screw up again. He owes it to Tucker and Christine, along with the men who lost their lives in Afghanistan due to what he considered to be his fault. The investigation found him not to be at fault, but that meant nothing to him. He still blamed himself. He can't change the past. But he can and will be better from now on.

At twenty-eight, he had always thought about having a family. Like almost everyone else, he always thought he'd have nine months to adjust to the news. He never thought it would happen with the appearance of an attorney at his door. Luckily for him, he had inherited a house from his uncle, so he had room for them. He's on paternity leave from his security job. He'll return when the twins have settled in enough to consider daycare for them.

Now at 4 a.m., Kylie Fredericks, Christine's younger sister, is at his door with suitcases in hand. She wanted to check up on Maya and Brennan. She was upset at not being named guardian for the twins, but her work as a Feng Shui consultant did require her to travel. Now that she has just returned from Tokyo, her apartment has been sublet for three months, and she has maxed out her daily limit on her debit card. With no way to pay for a hotel, she shows up at Gage's home.

Just as they start to settle in, Kylie is mugged in the park where she had taken the twins for an outing. Next, someone breaks into Gage's home. The living room is trashed, but the only thing taken was Kylie's laptop. What could a Feng Shui consultant possibly have? She is also keeping a secret from Gage. If and when he learns of it, will it be the beginning of the end of their relationship?

what took her so long to get back from Japan?
who settled the estate?
who planned the funeral?
the twins are 8 months old but he was named guardian in the will so how long has he been out of the navy?
Kylie has no family left but what about the twins father's family?

Gage is learning how to live as a single father of twin babies. He likes his quiet life before he inherited care of the twins but now he can't imagine life without them. Kylie is sad from the loss of her sister and now she wants to raise her sister's twin babies but first she has to deal with Gage. When danger comes knocking can they stop the bad guy before he does permanent damage?

I like the core love story. It's a quiet and lovely story about two people dealing with grief and finding love. All that being said, I have so very many questions. I understand this is a short story so you can't get all of the details but some of these details were needed. For example, Kylie was in Japan when her sister died. Her sister died in California. That's an easy flight. It should take a couple of days for her to get home but it took 2 weeks? Ok, so assuming that it took time for someone to contact her because they had to figure out how to contact her, who contacted her and when? That's all important because by the time Kylie returns to California, her sister and brother-in-law are buried AND Gage has legal custody of the twins. So even the will got read before she got home? These missing bits of information really bugged me through the entire story.

This is a contemporary love story set in California. This series has 2 books but they can be read as stand alone stories.

“Threatened” is the third book in the ‘SEAL Endgame’ series by Leslie North. It’s a single father, forbidden love story that can absolutely be read as a standalone.

Gage is adapting to his new life after unexpectedly being the sole guardian of twin babies who were left orphaned when his best friend (and that man’s wife) were killed in a tragic car crash. In addition to that huge life change, Gage is also still adjusting to civilian life because he recently retired from the military after losing two of his teammates on a mission that went sideways. When his doorbell rings in the middle of the night, he is shocked to find Kylie on his doorstep. She’s the twins’ aunt – the sister of the twins’ deceased mother. Now he has to worry about if she’ll try to get custody away from him. As he navigates getting accustomed to dealing with the unexpected temptation that is Kylie, some bad things begin to happen. It quickly becomes apparent that the bad situations all have to do with her. Kylie herself has some intensely personal secrets she’s been keeping from Gage, mainly because he doesn’t really have a right to know them. She also doesn’t understand why danger suddenly seems to be following her, and worries that Gage and the twins are also at risk.

I thought this story was interesting, and it had several unexpected twists. As the plot progressed, so did the attraction between Gage and Kylie. I really enjoyed the happy epilogue!.

This was a really good book that I have read before under a different name but was revamped but is still enjoyable nonetheless. Gage Winters is an Ex Navy Seal who just inherited twins Maya and Brennan after his best friend Tucker and his wife Christine both died in a car accident leaving him soul custody for there twins and Gage has no clue how to raise these kids but he will learn to be the best dad ever. Kylie Fredricks is a Feng Shui consultant and the younger sister of Christine who dies in a car crash and is shocked that her sister left the twins to Gage a Navy Seal and best friend to her husband Tucker but still she wants to get custody of the twins but she sort of understands because she travels but it still hurts know this is her only chance yo have kids. After getting home from Tokyo and with no lace to go she ends up on Gage’s door step and he welcomes her in but doesn’t fully trust she even though she is stunningly beautiful he keeps his guard up. When Kylie watches Gage with the twins she is surprised that he is so good with them and see him in a different light not only is he gorgeous and sexy he is a good father to Mya and Brennan. Someone wants something form Kylie and she is mugged and the house is broken into and only her laptop is taken and this makes Gage very suspicious of her and what trouble she is in that she brought home with her from Tokyo. There is so much more to this book that I know you will enjoy.

I gotta say it out of every book in the series so far this book was my favorite. Why I said that is because this book was so different than the other ones I read And why it’s different it’s because yes it showed he was a seal however, he was retired We’re in this situation it can be relatable and why is that is because anything had happened in life and he was in the right position for him to be in this situation he wasn’t and for her to come in to thinking she wanted to start a new life and pretty much take his she needed a reality check and he gave it too her but what I didn’t get at first is the reason behind in why she move back that was pretty much unclear, but became clearer in the end of the story and honestly, I wish it was more clearer in the beginning on why she moved and add more of the point of views of the characters than a narrative saying those opinions, but other than that I would say, this book was good and I might recommend it. It depends because it was honestly really different for other book related to the militaryo because it didn’t really involve a military just about the title that basically didn’t show what they actually did. It just showed the drama and the spice of the actual relationship that really was close to nothing and as I said, for the last one that I reviewed, there was more drama than spice so with that said, you gotta want that situation too like this book to be high rating book in your opinion.

Gage finds himself suddenly guardian of twins after his best ex-SEAL buddy and his wife are killed in an accident. Their aunt Kylie, comes crashing into Gage's life, with the intention of fighting him for custody. Gage lost his parents and loved ones very early on in life so he's determined to be the best guardian he can. Kylie is dealing with the grief of losing her sister, not being able to have kids of her own, and wondering why she wasn't chosen as guardian of the twins. While both of them are slowly falling for each other, and to add on to the mess of her life that Kylie feels she is in, she discovers she is a target and is in danger and doesn't want any harm to come to the twins and Gage.

This story really tugged at my heart strings - the grief of losing a loved on, the upheaval of having babies (and twins!), the uncertainty of new relationships, and all the self-doubt that Kylie had - I really felt for both of them. The characters were likeable, although I'm sure some readers might think Kylie is a bit weepy. Well warning: you may need some tissues like I did, so maybe I'm weepy too, but if I were in her situation I'd definitely be crying too!!

There was a bit of suspense in this book, which I thought was quite original and interesting, but the focus was always on the relationship and budding romance. This was a relatively short read, which is well-written, and I liked the (very accurate) international feel to this story. I like nasi lemak and satay too! :) I really can't wait to read the following books!!.

Once in a while I really need a Leslie North book. Warm up on a cozy read. This time about Gage, an ex Navy SEAL, who has been given custody over the baby twins of his best friend. While trying to get used to being a single dad overnight, a moody girl stands before his door.
Kylie couldn't believe it when she found out that her beloved sister and husband have left their twins in the care of a stranger. Determined to make sure her nephew and niece are well taken care of, she decides to stay with Gage for a while.
While trying to get to know each other, Kylie realizes that not only her sister was trying to prevent to hurt her sister (because Kylie is not able to become pregnant herself), but also that Gage is actually a wonderful father. He even wants to have more children of his own as well.
But because Kylie can't have children, and lost a lot of boyfriends due to her affliction, she isn't ready to fall for Gage. For what will happen if her learns she's not able to conceive? Just when she wants to leave, the children and she are attacked in a park. Who would want to hurt them? With Gage going into Navy Seal battle mode, they need to decide how to proceed to avoid a crush of hearts.
Suspense, drama, fun and laughter. Four out of five stars from me and a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

Fierce and protective
Threatened: A sizzling military romance with a former Navy SEAL (SEAL Endgame Book 3) by Leslie North is sweet, sexy and chock full of fierce protectiveness. Both Gage and Kylie are fierce in their protective feelings for the twins Gage was given guardianship of and who also happen to be Kylie's last remaining family. My heart went out to Kylie from the start as she is alone and lonely and in a way feeling a bit hopeless. With her self-confidence taking a hit when her sister left guardianship of her twins to a friend rather than family, her desire for a family of her own feels insurmountable. Gage on the other hand, embraces taking care of the twins and is determined to provide a stable and loving home. And, the interactions between both Gage and Kylie with the babies is sweet, heartwarming and realistic too.
On top of all the heartfelt elements of this story before the characters find they are drawn to one another, there is also mysterious happenings going on and directed at Kylie.
Overall, this book from beginning to end was a page turner. Anticipating a happy outcome for all in every aspect, each page felt like waiting on pins and needles! And of course, this couple makes a wonderful ready-made family for a beautiful and promising HEA.

I am a fan of Leslie's books and enjoy the SEAL genre. This book doesn't disappoint and pulls at the heart strings whilst having an underlying investigation for the former SEAL.

Gage Winters becomes the guardian for Kylie's niece and nephew after her sister and brother-in-law are killed in an accident. He is not a nature father, but the twins come into his life when he needs them the most and he steps up, having to learn fast.

Gage is a very strong and likeable character, and I warmed to him quickly. I can't say the same about Kylie.

Kylie is a free spirit and practices Feng Shui for a living, rearranging peoples homes and lives to allow their Chi to flow more freely. She hadn't seen her sister in a while, which she regrets now she has gone. Like Gage she has her own baggage and troubles to overcome.

They both unite in their shared grief, working together to give the twins what they need and a relationship starts to develop which neither of them is prepared for. Gage is still a military man at heart and likes things to be done his way. Kylie is a go with the flow 'kind of gal' so on the surface they shouldn't work as a couple, but this doesn't prevent the chemistry between them from developing. The question is can they act on, or will they go their separate ways?

Guarding His Unexpected Twins was a perfect ending to an enjoyable romance series.

This ended up being my favourite book of the series, which surprised me because it was the book I was least excited to read. I just loved the vibes this book was giving off. Leslie created a fun and delicious opposites attract, forced proximity romance. Being with Kylie and Gage as they try and figure out how to be parents while also dealing with the grief of losing someone had me feel some deep emotions. There are a lot of ups and downs between these two, and you can tell that they are dealing with a lot of big emotions and they are feeling so raw and vulnerable; it just made it so easy to connect with them. I loved the chemistry and dynamic between Kylie and Gage; they had such a wonderful opposites-attract vibe going on. I adored that Gage was baffled by Kylie’s job and belief in Fung Shui. The whole mystery part around Kylie being in danger was interesting and entertaining. Overall, this was a fun conclusion to the SEAL Endgame series.

Gage had the unexpected happen. His friend and his wife died in an accident. They him custody of their twins. He never expected that. He was putting his all into taking care of them. He had to change his plans. He was taking it day by day when their aunt Kylie showed up. She was working in Tokyo and she got back to the states as soon as she could. She was upset she missed the funeral. She wanted to see how her niece and nephew were doing under his care. She didn’t know she was being targeted. It started when she took the twins to the park and a man snatched the diaper bag off the stroller. Kylie couldn’t stop thinking about the danger she put the twins in. They were her only family left. She wanted to fight Gage on the custody of the twins. After other events she was doubting herself. Gage didn’t blame her for what happened. He wanted to protect her. He was attracted to her. The extra hands helped out. He never expected to fall hard for her. They are an unexpected couple but they make it work.

This is the 3rd book in the SEAL Endgame series featuring the heartwarming unexpected family, military romance between Gage and Kylie. Gage is a retired Navy Seal who has just become the guardian unexpectedly to his twin God children Brennan and Maya when their parents are killed in an accident. Kylie who is their aunt was overseas working at the time that Tucker and Christine were in the accident. Gage has no clue what to do now that he's responsible for these kids so when Kylie shows up offering to help after she hurried home he's grateful she's there to help. Kylie however is unhappy about the fact that she didn't get custody of her sister's children since she's their only living relative. I don't want to say anymore and ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this heartwarming unexpected family, military romance to see what happens. I would recommend reading this book.

As the third book in Leslie North's SEAL Endgame series it was definitely worth the time to read. Again I love the whole 'wounded hero" vibe and the totally smitten feeling you get with these SEAL characters when they fall for their female love interest. This story was made even that bit better by the whole idea of both characters taking on a role of protection for others children.
I've found when Leslie North creates and writes her characters, she has a knack for really bringing them alive to the reader which instantly for me makes the story a winner, as it allows you to form an emotional bond to them.
A nicely balanced out plot filled to the brim with action, drama galore, sexual tensions and pure devotion to doing the right thing by the real innocents of the plot. Of course a happily ever after is always going to be a true positive for any reader.

Quick read, not quite insta love but definitely quick .Gage is named as guardian to his best friend's twins when the couple dies unexpectedly. Kylie is the wife's sister although it's never fully explained why she wasn't named co-guardian. She has multiple self-blaming theories but it seems odd it was never mentioned in the will or why exactly the funeral was held without her. Regardless she shows up on his doorstep to confirm he's an appropriate guardian and possibly to fight for custody. He's suspicious but let's her crash as she has nowhere to stay. They quickly fall into a routine and both are very good with the kids. Perhaps the most unbelievable part is the danger that unknowingly followed her to his house. They have good chemistry, sexy times ensue and it's soon apparent they both want more. They just have to survive the slightly ridiculous baddie to get their HEA.

Gage Winters is now an instant father or twins- Brennan and Maya. The poor man had the babies thrust upon him when his bestie, Tucker & Christine were killed in a car accident. Poor Gage is doing the best he can taking care of the twin babies. Christine’s sister, Kylie shows up after quitting her Feng Shui job in Japan. She feels really hurt (I would be too!) if my sibling chose not to let me, her family to care for the kids. Since she has no place to go, she crashes at Gage’s and helps with the babies. Some weird stuff begins to happen. It gets crazy and scary.

I like how at first she is hurt and wants to see if Gage is taking care of the kids well enough and whether she should fight for custody of the twins or not. However, after a while, feelings all around begin. I’m really impressed at Gage and how he handles the kids who are adorable babies. I like how the author portrays the babies because they can’t talk yet. The book was fascinating. The end was awesome. I hope there are more books because I want to see the kids grow up some, or will there be a crossover? Please??.

Chaos is not a Navy SEAL's middle name!
That is what happens with Gage Winter's life after a friend/s tragic death leaves him caring for orphaned twins. Throw in the aunt of the orphaned twins, who is not happy she does not have custody of the twins and sparks fly. Oh Yeah, also throw in some suspense and trouble that said Aunt did not know she was bringing back from Japan, and you have a great story. So many emotions are flying between Gage and Kylie (Aunt), you almost need a roadmap. While they are navigating how to take care of twins, they are also trying to navigate their growing emotions. Neither party want to break down their own emotional walls for potential heartbreak. You get everything in this book, protective alpha male, heroine trying to find her way, strong chemistry, suspense, intrigue, growing romance and adorable twins who seem to bring everything full circle. What a great way to end this new trilogy from Leslie North. Once again, you won't be disappointed.

Kylie’s sister and husband die and leave guardianship to their friend, Gage and not her!
Kylie rushes home but arrives too late for her sister’s funeral, she wants custody of her niece and nephew, so she arrives at Gage’s home to check him out.
Gage left the SEAL’s and had just started in security when he becomes dad to a set of twins. He is starting to get into the swing of things when Kylie turns up on his doorstep.
This is a wonderful story: at first, they argue, but as time passes, they get into a rhythm, then things start happening and Kylie realises she may have brought a danger home with her. Both Kylie and Gage need each other to work out their demons. I loved the ending too.
