Felicia Bradford, a wedding planner, and her sister Stefanie, a university student, were at a yoga class when they are ambushed by men with European accents. They take Stefanie with them, and tell Felicia that she must get onto the Coronado base and deposit a box they give her. Felicia has no choice but to do what she’s told, or else her sister will be killed. What do these men possibly want from them? Felicia has been fitted with a wire, given a gun, she’s being listened to, and time is running out; she has to deposit a listening device on the base. So she grabs the first SEAL she sees: Logan Dunn. He was carrying his grocery bags to his SUV, but he obeys Felicia without a word. He quickly senses she’s not doing this on her own. But a SEAL’s job is to help people, so this is what Logan does. However, this is only the beginning…
This is one of the most difficult reviews I have ever had to write. How does Paige Tyler do it? STRONG SILENT SEAL is perfect in every way! It’s a fantastic suspense, action-packed, exciting from beginning to end; there is not one word wrong in the whole book! Ms. Tyler’s knowledge of the subject, SEALs, is mind-blowing, and everything feels so authentic, it’s like being right in the middle of the action. And as always, there is always something new to learn. There is absolutely no filler, no plot holes, and there is a lot happening in this short book. There are no superfluous descriptions and yet it’s all crystal clear: I could picture everything and everyone to the last little detail, and in the comfort of my living room, I was part of the action. The characters are very well rounded, their backstories are complete, and this in barely a few words. Everything was perfectly logical. Logan is totally adorable, as is Felicia; I loved them separately and together. I loved the camaraderie between the SEALs, the banter between Logan and Felicia, and the way their romance progressed was believable all the way.
Ms. Tyler’s writing is better than ever – if such a thing is even conceivable! – she makes it seem so easy and effortless! There are wonderful plot twists, and the one involving Stefanie is simply genius! STRONG SILENT SEAL is a perfect romantic suspense. It left me with smiling because it was … so perfect!
Upon finishing STRONG SILENT SEAL, I sighed contentedly; this is happiness! I encourage everyone who likes romantic suspense, intelligent plots, great storytelling, a realistic romance, and fabulous characters to read it.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
