Her SEAL Protector

by Jillian Burns

Subject: Navy SEAL Clay “HoundDog” Bellamy

Mission: Rescue the lush, curvy civilian. And definitely don't give in to temptation!

Even in her worst nightmare, Gabby Diaz never imagined a banking conference in Paraguay would end with her being kidnapped and ransomed—before being rescued by a hard-muscled Navy SEAL. Now, despite lingering worries, she's home and safe again…isn't she?

Someone has Gabby in their deadly sights, and she needs her hotter-than-hot SEAL's help. But despite Clay Bellamy's guarded Navy demeanour, his hunger for Gabby is hard to control. He tells himself it's just the “hero” thing, that they're worlds apart—until a sizzling kiss flips both their worlds upside down. Now Clay's mission has been compromised in the wickedest way imaginable…

Because of serving in the military myself, for the longest I had zero desire to read military romances. Sure, the men can be Hot but when you work with them for 14 hours a day…and get to know more than just the hotness…eh! I’ll pass. But…I love me some SEAL romances from the Blaze line.

I won a copy of Jillian Burns Her Seal Protector and all I can say is
"Wow Jillian Burns navy seal Clay Bellamy can protect me any time, day or night (preferably at night)."
" Jillian Burns sizzles with Her Seal Protector"
I took this book camping with hubby and friends and ended starting to read it before bed (bad idea when camping when you forget to pack your lantern or a flashlight) I ended up having to use my iphone battery all up reading by the light from that because it got dark and I wasn't done reading and refused to put the book down! ( I know it was my own stupidity but hey when something was as good as this book you can't blame me!)
From the action and terror packed beginning from virginal Gabby (I loved how innocent yet courageous Gabby was) to the discovery of Clay's past abuse at the hands of his stepfather to the end where Gabby is rescued and everything in between Jillian Burns scorches your fingers and inflames your soul.
So if your looking for a book to read that will keep you enthralled from beginning to end I'd recommend Her Seal Protector just remember though, if you are gonna take it camping bring a flashlight!

Gabby se zarazila. „A proč klejete?“
„Ne, tak se jmenuju. Říkejte mi Clayi.“
Poznámka pod čarou by byla vhodnější.
"Clay."
Gabby studied the ground but didn´t see any. "Where?"
"What?"
"Where´s the clay?"
"No, that´s my name. Call me Clay, Ms. Diaz."

I enjoyed this SEAL Romance. I received this for free and I voluntarily chose to review this. Because of sexual content and some violence, this is not for the under 18 readers. I've given this a 4* rating. Both the main characters need some healing from their growing up years. Sometimes the SEAL needs some saving. Liked the ending.

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

You just want to smack the male protagonist, Clay. The female, Gabby, is kind of "duh", too. I mean, I like her, but she's so naive and doesn't see what's in front of her face. Doesn't she have any self-preservation instincts?

I did like the story line. It flowed well.

3.5 stars

[Lyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This one is really short, even for a romance. But I liked that it challenged the idea of women falling in love with men who save them just because of that happening, as well as the idea of women being with men who are super over protective and controlling.
Note: I received this book for free through Goodreads Giveaways.

*3.5 Stars* Pretty fast read, and I love the hero, Clay. Gabby, not so much. I understand there is supposed to be this damsel in distress type feel, but I thought Gabby would be different.... stronger. She was so self contained in the beginning, but when things started getting crazy, she turned into one of those naive heroines that I despise. The suspense was there, and surprisingly, the chemistry between Gabby and Clay. Overall, a quick, enjoyable read.

[Beth Garner · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was action, a little suspense and of course, romance. It was well written and I didn't want to put it down. Both Gabby and Clay are likeable characters. I did guess who the bad guy was but with how the story unfolded I still wanted to keep reading.

I will definitely read more of Ms Burns books and recommend this book as a good, quick read.

[Harlequin Books]

"The strength of Gabby’s character was a breath of fresh air. Everything, from the action, the romance, and Gabby and Clay individually will keep your attention, making you glad that you gave Her SEAL Protector a chance" (4 stars @ RT Book Reviews).

Miniseries: Uniformly Hot!

[Anna Budziak · Rating 4 out of 5]

Writing was very good and I enjoyed it. Did feel the villain was a bit obvious but would recommend.
