I received an ARC copy of this book via Booksprout, and I'm willingly leaving an honest review.
This is book 2 in the Seal Brotherhood: Silver Team, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading Harper and Lydia's thrilling story.
Told from the POV of both characters, Harper and Lydia try to reconcile the past 2 years with what needs to be done in the future so they can live a peaceful life without a threat to Lydia hanging over them.
Brilliant storyline with wonderful characters and absolutely loved the HEA.

I received an ARC in return for an honest review. And I say double wow! I knew when I read “Something About Silver” that this would be a good series. Absolutely! Loving Harper is a continuation of Harper’s Silver Team and his life with wife Lydia, after discovering she was still alive. But it will not be an easy road to their future. This book is full of mystery and intrigue as they maneuver the dangers ahead. Harper has to bring Lydia into his mission while protecting her, Venom, and neighbor Sally, at the same time. I highly recommend this book but read “Something About Silver” first to understand the story. You did it again with this series, Ms Hamilton!

This is book two in The Seal Brotherhood Silver Team series and it is the second part of Lydia and Harper’s story and omg it is definitely a must read. Harper and Lydia are trying to move forward after everything that has happened and what they have both been through especially because Lydia still hasn’t regained any of her memory and as Harper was constantly busy on a mission or in DC it is now taking its toll on there relationship. Lydia was nervous because she felt like she was being followed and felt really uncomfortable and unsettled especially after Harper was due again to go to DC and Lydia felt like she was in danger but Harper still went even though he put two of his seal buddies in the house to keep Lydia safe. When Harper comes back from DC everything in there lives are about to change because Lydia is the target and has a price on her head and the bad guys have already tried to take the dog away by poisoning him. Will they be able to eliminate the threat and bring the bad guys to justice before it can take away Lydia and Harper’s future for the second time. Wow this book certainly takes you on a rollercoaster journey of emotions along with twists and turns that will have you turning the pages and unable to put this book down because it is so addictive. The love that Harper and Lydia have is so powerful and beautiful and I absolutely loved there outcome and I can’t wait to read more books by Sharon Hamilton in the future because she is a amazing author and writer and she certainly knows how to keep her readers attention throughout the whole book.

We are back in California with Harper Cunningham, team leader of older SEALs that have battled many missions, and his wife, Lydia.
Lydia, whom he had thought had been killed and him have finally reunited. While Lydia still has amnesia of her life with Harper, the love this second time around, seems stronger.
When the past comes in search of Lydia and Harper, the danger intensifies.
While Harper is determined to keep the love of his life safe, Lydia is concerned about keeping him safe and will do anything in her power to stay strong for Harper and their new life.
With the help of his boss, his team, and the possible new recruits, can Harper and Lydia overcome the evil and continue with the new life they have created?
The story was engaging and the main characters likable. Made extra special as this reader enjoys reading stories about more mature characters with all their perfections and experiences.
The story is also a reminder of the sacrifices the troops and their families make to keep us safe and free.
I was entrusted a copy of this book by Booksprout. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Harper and Lydia are trying to re-establish their marriage after Lydia had been held by terrorist for two years. Lydia still has large memory gaps that she is trying to overcome including being married to Harper. As they are trying to adjust to living back in Sonoma County, California they discover that the terrorist have come to discover the terrorist are near targeting Lydia again. Harper and his team have to try to prevent them from getting Lydia again especially as she is remembering more of her first attack by them. This is a great book with the continuation of the Silver Team working with all their resources on American soil saving someone who has been through so much already. This is a great continuation of Harper and Lydia's life after her rescue. Ms. Hamilton has done a remarkable job of continuing this story with it actually have been a cliffhanger of typical style. She just continues the story similar as if she were telling her other stories ten years later but it is just months later. I will continue to read her books as they capture my attention from the beginning and hold it till the end.

Lydia Cunningham is back with her husband, Navy SEAL Harper Cunningham after her near-death experience in Northern Africa. She still hasn’t fully recovered her memory and may never do so. Harper had just returned from his mission when he is called back to Washington, but Lydia is uncomfortable with him being gone again so soon. He has teammates to protect her after an earlier suspicious situation occurred in town and at their home. Someone tried to get to her again and his dog was poisoned, but she is safe, for now. Harper returns with disturbing news about the man who killed her team in Africa and is now in prison. She has no idea why, but the man wants to talk to her. They both know that he can’t be trusted, but what will he want and can she stand to be in the same room with him? As the threats escalate, their neighbor was also attacked. Can Harper and his team eliminate this threat, but if so, is the danger finally over? Exciting continuation from the story in book #1. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)

Harper and Lydia’s Struggle . . .

Surviving a sniper's bullet in North Africa, Lydia Cunningham is miraculously back with her husband Harper again, despite having lost many of her memories about their life together. Harper is the leader of a special new SEAL team, the Silver SEALs, and had found her when one of his missions crossed her path. With the number of dangerous missions he is continuing to lead, it doesn’t give them much time together to try to find their new “normal”.

Lydia is apparently still a target, facing attack from a newly-formed terrorist cell. Will this situation split Harper’s attention between his critical missions and the safety of his wife? Should he send her elsewhere to provide better safety? Or is it important to have some proximity with each other to help her regain her memories and restore their relationship? Will this choice be too difficult to make? Will it cost him his wife or his invaluable career? Or will his other SEAL buddies have his back and help to keep her safe?

In a previous book, Harper had thought Lydia was dead. Instead Lydia had been shot and an evil man took care of her as she had no memory. Now she is home with Harper and they are getting to know each other again and falling in love. Harper had to leave for a while, but he had some past Seals watch over her. There were some other evil people after Lydia, but luckily she had the Seal members there to keep her safe. The story gets exciting as the evil man that had helped Lydia who was in an American prison wanted to talk to her. I felt so bad for Lydia in how he tried to fool her. There were many suspenseful scenes that had me on the edge of my seat. I loved how Harper did all he could to protect Lydia. I strongly encourage you to read the book.

Lydia Cunningham is back with her husband Harper, but trouble is brewing. She has no memory of her past but is happy with her life now. Lydia is at the grocery store and she sees a couple and her radar goes off thinking they are not good. She goes to the nursery and she has their dog with her and the dig react when the man comes toward her. They go home and when Harper gets home somebody trips their gate and gets in. She tells him about the couple when he goes to DC the dog gets poisoned but recovers. They realized that the man that had her the two years set up things happening if she went back to Harper.

[Catlou · Rating 4 out of 5]

LOVING HARPER is an exciting continuation of Harper and Lydia’s story. It’s a rollercoaster of emotional drama, intense action, intrigue, danger, and suspense. Lydia’s struggle to adapt to her former life while her memories slowly return provides touches of angst which provoke feelings of compassion. Harper and Lydia are rebuilding their life together, making for a heartfelt, passionate tale. Introducing the manipulative games being played by the terrorist who abducted her will have you glued to each page. This makes for a captivating read that will keep you thoroughly engaged, at times leaving you on the edge of your seat.

Harper and Lydia back together, she is still dealing with the aftermath of learning Harper is her husband. Of course Venom has been happily helping her slowly regain her memories. However danger still lurks not only for her but others close to her. Our new Silver Team is going to get a real baptism by fire when an old nemesis begins showing how far his reach is. This new team is working tirelessly to keep all safe to include Venom. Sharon has written a well thought out book describing this new team. I can’t wait to see what she has in store for this new group.

[Rosemary · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book one was Harper's version of the death of his wife Lydia and how he reacted when he discovered she was still alive. Reading Lydia's story of how she begins to re-claim her life and fall in love with Harper all over again is so beautiful and inspiring. This is a story of love, reclaiming amongst danger. I am really enjoying the SEAL Brotherhood Silver Team stories and can't wait to read more in this new and exciting series.

Loving Harper is book 2 in the SEAL Brotherhood Silver Team by Sharon Hamilton and after Lydia’s return… 4.5 stars

Harper and Lydia are back together but…she has no memory of Harper or their dog Venom from before, even though she feels safe and protected with both. Evil is lurking in the shadows, meeting more of the team members, heads on a swivel to keep everyone safe, danger, returning memories, suspense, friends and edge of your seat reading…

I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from BookSprout . All thoughts and opinions are my own.

She is trying to recover her memory while Harper's job places distance between them making it hard for them to revitalize their love but when a new terrorist group targets Lydia Harper will stop at nothing to keep his wife safe.

Then while shopping Lydia sees a couple and is concerned.  Later Venom sees the man and guards Lydia. Lipori wants to see Lydia. What good will that do? Is he still hiding secrets? Will Harper be able to protect her?

[Danee · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed Lydia and Harper's story. They have been through a lot and he is still concerned and worried about her. And how they both work on their relationship despite the fact that they have both been through a lot, but the chemistry and attraction has always remained and the love they feel for each other. And the icing on the cake is that after everything, they have a baby together. I enjoyed this book so much and would definitely recommend reading it and I look forward to the author's next book.

Harper thought Lydia had been killed but, he found her alive and she's now back home with him even though she doesn't remember things. Her memory is slowly coming back bit by bit when the past makes a return. With Harper's new Silver team can they keep her safe? There's plenty of danger, suspense, a dog who will give it his all to protect her and a feisty neighbor in the mix with a new beginning for them.

[Selina Durio · Rating 5 out of 5]

These Silver Team books are fantastic! After literally coming back from the dead, Lydia and Harper are again the catalyst for action. This book not only gives the reader the chance to enjoy this great couple, but to meet some new characters that will probably be crucial in future books. And the ending— OMG! The next book will definitely be fire.

Absolutely Awesome military romantic suspense. Harper is in charge of the new Silver Team. He knew his wife was viciously killed while helping others. Suddenly, Lydia is back but she has little memory of Harper. They’re trying to become a couple but evil exists. It has lots of action, and violence as military books go. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I look forward to reading future books by Ms Hamilton.

Wow! Non-stop action between Harper and Lydia. These Silver Seals, and especially Harper need to protect Lydia even though she only has bits and pieces of her memory from before the attack in Africa. I enjoyed Lydia and Harper love story being played out again with Venom adding to the story tremendously. Sally, the neighbor, is a hoot! I especially was pleased to see that Ms Hamilton brings the current open border situation and it’s possible consequences into the mix. Well done story! BZ!

Book 2 of the SEAL Brotherhood: Silver Team
What a great way to start a new series!
Book two picks up with Harper and Lydia trying to put their lives back together after all the time they lost. Harper trying to keep Lydia safe and Lydia hoping to keep him safe.
This is such a wonder series and Harper and Lydia are perfect for the beginning. I can’t wait to see what Sharon has in store with the other members of the Silver Team!

[Wanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book 2 of this series and continues with Harper and Lydia’s story. You will understand this better if you read book1. This is filled with action, danger, a few laughs and you will not want to put it down because there are so many twists and unknowns! This ends with a happily for now with a cliffhanger to book 3 continuing the threat to Lydia and Harper.

Lydia was kidnapped and held for two years. She has been rescued and is back but unfortunately due to an injury, her memories are confusing or absent. Harper loves her but knows he can't be what she needs because of his job as a SEAL. His dilemma makes him wonder if she would be better off away from him and the danger he fights, and then the terrorists reappear. Good military romance, full of angst and ultimately romance. Good read!

this was an excellent follow up to Something About Silver!

Now Harper has Lydia back but that doesn't mean their troubles are over. There are things that come to a head in this story to help with re-establish their relationship.

I enjoyed the story and can't wait to see where she goes next with this series!

I loved the cover of this book. Lydia has gone through a lot and trying to get her life back, but her past is coming back to haunt her. Harper is her lifeline, even if she can't remember their past. There's danger, suspense and life and death situations. Their heat together is something else. HEA for now.

Loving Harper: SEAL Brotherhood: Silver Team written by Sharon Hamilton. This series is about SEALs as they get a little older and no longer want to be active on the regular SEAL teams. Harper has only just gotten Lydia back from the dead when he is forced to defend her from the devil. Never fear, not when the SEALs are near! Go get those bad guys!.

Loving Harper continues us on the journey reuniting Lydia and Harper after she was found after having been declared dead. Lydia is home and trying to adjust to a life she does not remember due to amnesia. Harper will do anything to make her life adjusting easier. Little do they know that danger has followed Lydia. This one has a lot of suspense, twists, adventure and danger!j
