3 Papás SEAL por Navidad (Corazones de Harén)

by Ava Gray, Valeria Gómez (translator)

Juré que no volvería a mi ciudad natal. En cuanto llego a casa, tres ráfagas del pasado quieren convertirme en su milagro navideño.

Cuando mi hermano murió trágicamente, dejó mi vida hecha un montón de cenizas. Pero un regreso inesperado a Harbank Spring me reúne con sus tres mejores amigos militares, que harían cualquier cosa por cuidar de mí.

Entre ellos está Alexander Hawke, un veterano viudo, con una niña, con quien compartí un beso de borrachera hace años, antes de irme de la ciudad. Le rompí su hermoso corazón... ¿me romperá él el mío?

Axel Ramsey es el zorro plateado playboy del pueblo, que se burla del hecho de no ser padre todavía, ya que se ha acostado con muchas mujeres. Salvo que ahora solo tiene ojos para mí.

Y no puedo olvidar a Eli Pierce... el padre soltero de una adorable niña de mi clase de baile sobre hielo. Este hombre duro y amable encandila por lo mucho que se preocupa y lo ansioso que está por demostrarlo.

Todos me quieren a mí, la niña salvaje del pueblo que los abandonó a todos porque me sentía responsable de la muerte de mi hermano. Pero ahora, los tres hombres de mi pasado harán cualquier cosa para convencerme de que pertenezco a ellos.

Cuando vuelvo a mudarme a casa de mi hermano, de repente vivo con tres hombres irresistibles... que están totalmente fuera de mis límites, porque son los mejores amigos de mi hermano...

Cuando empiezan las fiestas navideñas, cada vez me resulta más difícil resistirme...

Y guardar mi que uno de ellos es el padre de mi bebé secreto.

DNF 35% The chemistry seemed forced and hurried between the characters. And a lot of repetitive themes and some of the dialogue didn’t flow.

3 Seal Daddies for Christmas is one book in Harem Hearts series, interconnected why choose standalones, and can be enjoyed on its own. A brilliantly crafted story with complex characters and a plotline twisty that grabs your attention from the start and keeps you hooked and on mesmerized and turning the pages until the end. " With characters to root for and toe-curling passion that kept reading well past my bedtime, 3 Seal Daddies for Christmas brings romance and heat. It's steamier than a Mississippi a summer, 3 Seal Daddies for Christmas charmed me from page to page. Clover, Hawke, Eli, and Axel burn up the sheets--and had me tearing through the pages as they reconnect and work their way back to the HEA that they all deserve all along.
Alexander Hawke, Axel Ramsey, Eli Pierce and Ricky Dixon were Navy Seal brothers who served in the same unit. However, Ricky had accident and died. Ricky had a younger sister Clover who bare a striking resemblance to him name Clover. Clover is from the beautiful picturesque town of Harbank Springs. The town is best known for the tourist, and a dawdy postcard at worst. Nestled into the snowy mountains in Minnesota, Harbank was a festival a Christmas town as one could expect from a place that's covered in layers of thick snow for five months a year. It's been four years, the worst night of Clover life and she has placed Harbank Springs firmly in her rear view mirror and out of her mind, and trying to leave the guilt behind behind as well. However, life as a funny way of dragging you back into your pass when you don't to. As it turns out she has to go to place where she doesn't want but she's going. However, if she must go she must avoid three men. You see all guys see her as family and wants to take care of her. She's hiding from the guys because she has history with all of them individually, with Hawke she had a drunkard kiss with him before a couple of years ago before she skipped town and broke his heart. Axel has been pining after her for years.
They all wanted her, the town's wild child who abandoned them all because she felt responsible for her brother's death. Once they talked about the past and she realized that it wasn't her fault that her brother died. They all submit that their burning passion. It was hot, delicious, sexy, utterly swoon-worthy. 3 Seal Daddies for Christmas is a dominant alpha males romance, reverse harem romance, Christmas romance, holiday romance, Ex-Military romance, age gap trope story, taboo, opposite attracts story, Historical romance, forbidden relationship, second chance romance, billionaire romance, off-limits, secret pregnancy romance, brother's best friend romance with guilt, heartache, passion, lust, hurt, pain, tension, emotions, angst, revelations, acceptance, forgiveness, mystery, steam and love.

I really enjoyed this story. It wasn’t just about a polyamorous family, it was a story of growth and of getting back in touch with their emotions. When Clover loses her brother Ricky to an accident, after his wake she runs away to the city to get away from her home where Ricky and her grew up. Clover blames herself for her brother’s death, but his best friends, Hawke, Axel and Eli are there to support her. They are devastated when she disappears without any communication, but four years later, when she comes back, she bumps into them and through their perseverance, and Support, Clover realises that they are there for her, and they develop a family relationship that leads onto a happily ever after. Of course more is involved, but you will need to read this book for yourself to learn all the dirty secrets and watch these characters develop a lasting love.

Clover hasn't been back home for four years. Ever since her brother died in a car accident. And she blames herself for his death. So she leaves the 3 men who were her brother's best friends and doesn't want to look back. Surprisingly, she has feelings for all 3 men. Leaving them was the hardest thing she ever did.

Until she came back and saw the 3 of them living in her old home almost waiting for her to return.

Each man is so fleshed out. It was incredible how Ava Gray had an inner monologue for each man that showed they were each in love with Clover. The dynamic with two other children made for an awesome dynamic.

This story was very heartwarming. Clover is still heartbroken from her brother's death and she isn't sure she can handle the love of the 3 men - Axel, Hawke and Eli. Oh and those sex scenes are very steamy! Very enjoyable. And very romantic.

Dealing with grief... And finding forever

This story has some interesting experiences and issues that could relate to lots of people... Kids with a parent who is missing(divorced and working away) another kid who's mom died in surgery... The main female lost her parents and her brother who happens to have been the best friend of the fathers of the 2 kids and another seal buddy from the military. Clover is a ice skating instructor for young kids... The guys and their kids live in her house... I guess they moved to help Clover after her brother was killed in a car accident but she left... They stayed and have taken care of her estate since... 4 years... Its a well written story and I loved the interaction with the kids as well as the fathers... It may have been fun if she managed to seek Isobel into the house before the accident but stuff happens... I enjoyed it.

[Manda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Clover ran away from home straight after her brother's funeral. The misplaced guilt over his death too much to bear. She kept her return to her home town a secret from the three men she cared for deeply, or so she thought.

Eli, Hawke and Axel always knew where she was and what she was up to but gave her the courtesy of keeping their distance until she was ready.

Three war damaged Navy Seals all uber protective, gentle and focused on trying to get Clover to feel welcome enough to stay.

A wonderful intense, steamy romance about genuine, likeable characters suffering real misunderstandings, angst and trauma with an emotional HEA.

Clover left town after her brothers funeral because she felt his accident was her fault. And she didn't return for 4 years. But when she does as a temporary ice dancing teacher she finds that her brothers 3 SEAL brothers are still living in her family home. And she tries to avoid them until the day one of her young students doesn't get picked up and she realizes her dad is one of the friends.
These 3 amazing men have got the job of making sure she knows that they don't blame her. In fact their feelings are definitely not blame but something much better.

I've been staying away from harem books for a while. However, when I saw this book, I had to read it. Clover, Hawke, Axel, and Eli's story is a good one. I liked reading their story. It was emotional, sexy, and good all together. The men in this book are very sexy, and they will do anything to make sure Clover knows they are here for her. Would totally give it a try if you love sexy men who are in love with their woman.

The connection between the characters was good. Each character brought something unique to the relationships between the family members.

Clover felt like she caused the death of her brother and ran away until she was asked to cover classes in her old small town. She tried to stay under the radar but was discovered quickly. No one blamed here but the guilt was eating away at her and she was having trouble accepting it really was just an accident.

Waiting for their Clover

Such a hot yet emotionally riveting story. Tragedy affects Clover in such a way that she is unable to handle the support of his three Navy buddies. However, when she returns home, they are waiting for her to prove they should all be together. This was wonderfully written, and the characters were very well developed.

Lord, if there is ever a more annoying MFC it was clover. She had so much growing up to do it wasn’t even funny. Immaturity is one of my biggest pet peeves and Clover was it. While I enjoyed the three men, they could have done so much better than Clover. It was her immaturity that ended in a tragic accident. She brought it all on herself, you’d think she would have matured some in the years she was gone, but clearly that didn’t happen. What a totally useless character she was.

[Mary Ryrie · Rating 1 out of 5]

Poor Taste

I understand totally the changes in society with the new generation.

However this fictional situation only fills me with sickening thoughts. Almost all characters accept this as being honorable and normal behaviour, which is, in my opinion, not generally a form of acceptable behaviour.

I was brought up in the swinging 60's, and was probably at school and university one of the top wild child teenagers.

[Misty · Rating 5 out of 5]

Clover went home to help with a dance recital, she had not been home since her brother died. She blamed herself for what happened to her brother and didn't know exactly what she was running from until she runs into Hawke, Axel, and Eli and all of her feelings come rushing back.

This is a heartwarming story and I loved the interactions between Clover and the two kids. I thought this was a very cute story.

Received ARC in exchange for voluntary honest review.

Wow! There is some serious steam happening in this book. The writing is meticulous, and the characters are relatable.
They're all dealing with being able to forgive themselves. Meanwhile, while the story unfolds you get drawn into the characters and what they're dealing with.

Intense!

Unfortunately, one of her students is the daughter of one her brother's best friends. One of the three she ran away from. Can Hawke, Eli, and Axel help her find forgiveness or will she run again?

I have recently started reading reverse haram books and have enjoyed them including this one. It’s a good story, though I do believe it could used a little more editing as there were multiple errors throughout the book, that being said it was a good story and would love to hear from these characters again.

[Stephanie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good read

Despite some obvious grammar issues, this was a decent book. While it was predictable to me, I did love the personal growth of all the characters and how they dealt with almost every issue head on as adults. I also loved the spicy scenes and how it was spaced throughout the story.

[Carol McMillan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good Reading

I liked the storyline and the characters were well rounded. The family theme also rang the bell for me. I like that Clover's interaction with everyone always seemed caring and considerate...well except for one jerk from her past. Having exposure to dance classes and recitals I enjoyed the thoroughness and love Clover put into teaching the children ice dancing.

[Cheryl A · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Nice spicy Christmas read. I enjoyed this short and sweet read about Clover and the three men who want to take care of her after her brother died. She ran away blaming herself after her brother’s death only to come back four years later to her brother’s best friends Hawke, Eli and Axel. They eventually convinced her not to blame herself and stay with them over the Christmas holidays and forever. This has lots of steamy romance, coming to realize life happens good or bad and a great HEA for Christmas.

Guilt can be a cruel thing

When Clover returns to her hometown she has no plans to stay. The guilt she harbors from the past is something she lives with everyday. She finds herself where she had no intentions of being and her past life sucked her back in and it turns out truths come out and hearts are healed.

[Katie Roberts · Rating 1 out of 5]

I don't think this is necessarily bad it's just not for me. I dnf'd after Isabelle warned her against her dad. It just jumped a bit too much from her being all angry to her being in bed with all of them. There didn't seem to be much build up or even indication they were all interested then without talking about it ahead of time they were sharing her.

It just didn't flow!

[Ellen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great Story

The story is great.
The number of typos, jumbled sentences, and incorrect verb tenses and personal pronouns really inhibits comprehension and read time. I had to constantly reread and correct the errors in my head. Ms. Gray either needs an editor or needs to fire the one she has. She’s too talented to lose readers to mistakes like this.
