Guarded by the SEAL

Rate this book
The hot Navy Seal has been hired to protect me, but who would protect us from our own demons?

Harry’s injury led to the end of his career as a SEAL.

But he’s still capable of protecting me.

His job as my bodyguard is quite straightforward.

Keep me away from my abusive and shady ex husband and make sure I’m not taken.

Let me just say that he’s been an overachiever so far.

Not only do I feel safe in his arms, I also feel really taken care of in his bed.

We’ve both been burned before, and love is not on the cards.

Besides, he's way older and his stoicism reminds me that we’re strictly business.

Until we’re not and I’m holding a positive pregnancy test in my hands.

…while I’m in the midst of serious danger.

Our past wounds could destroy our love, but what if I’m no longer alive to even confess my feelings to him?


GUARDED BY THE SEAL is a sizzling blend of forbidden desire, pulse-pounding danger, and second chances. Dive into this gripping Navy SEAL romance and prepare for a wild ride of passion and suspense!

Look. I’m giving this one 2 stars but it could have been 1. The H is an idiot. The writing between the men is girly and for a so called Navy Seal he comes across as stupid and not someone I would want guarding me.. I thought they were best of the best.

I could go on and on about the dumb stuff that happens in the book but it would pretty much give it away. I’m mean who leaves their charge, when it’s their sole job to protect them, when their gut tells them someone has been hanging around. Stupid. And don’t get me started on that whole warehouse scene.

The FMC is bitchy and not very likeable. I’m pretty sure I referred to as one quite a lot. I never believed they could get together. There was really nothing there to see between them to make me believe it. I almost gave the book up at 20% as the dialogue seemed stilted and juvenile.

I made myself push through it. Skimming is your friend with this one.

Petra thought she had the perfect marriage until she discovered that she had married a monster. In hiding to escape her mob husband the fear she feels makes her behave badly to the navy SEAL working to keep her safe.

Harry is having a hard time pulling himself out of his depression following the betrayal of his ex wife. Focusing on his current job is supposed to help but his protectee is a bit of a brat.

Petra is at turns strong and stupid but being in the stressful position she is effects everyone differently. Whilst Harry is calm, understanding and stoic towards her until his feelings are involved.

A fast paced romantic thriller if a little rushed at times which made me feel as if parts story were skipped. A light, quick read.

I loved Guarded by the SEAL The SEAL's Protection. Petra just found out her whole marriage is a sham and her husband is about to sell her. Her father gets protection for her and Harry is her bodyguard. They clash are first with all of the stress but they slowly become friends and more. Unfortunately, it seems someone has found her and taken her while Harry is away. He will do anything to save her, even make the biggest mistake of his life. Can she ever forgive him? I loved the storyline and the characters. They had so much to overtime. I would definitely recommend this book.

Petra and Harry’s story has them meeting when she needs security due to her ex. Harry is an ex seal turned bodyguard. These two have a no strings attached relationship till things go wrong or right depending on how you se the little gift they are given but they need to get out of the danger first to appreciate what they have together. A good well written story by this author.

If you were to look up the word PERFECTION, I think you would not only see this author's name behind it but this book as well. Henry and Petra's romance story exceeded my expectations and blew me right out of the water with the passion and romance. The ending is AMAZING and will definetly give the word WOW a whole new meaning. Man, the military hunk on the cover is S-E-X-Y!!!.

Ex navy Seal Henry is tasked with protecting Petra from her ex husband, and he certainly puts in more than his job description, as flames ignite between them, they both ha e been burnt before but will things chance with a positive test? Well written steamy age gap, desires, ex military, protection romance.

The author has given us a heart pounding older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Henry and Petra. The story keeps us turning the pages with danger, connection, personal demons and steam.

5 stars for Guarded by the Seal by Lydia Hall

Loved the premise of the storyline. There are lots of feelings in this book. Lots of drama, too. It is a good book for a second chance at love for both Petra and Harry. Lots of steaminess with Harry and Petra. Can't wait for the next book with Benji.

This was Harry and Petra’s story. Harry’s injury led to the end of his career as a SEAL. But he’s still capable of protecting her. His job as a bodyguard is quite straightforward. Keep her away from her abusive and shady ex husband and make sure she’s not taken. It was a steamy and intriguing read.
