Marie's Tempting Reads ARC Review:

Oh my goodness, I cried for Finn! He is such a strong, capable man and to see him struggle with PTSD made my heart heavy yet amazed me with how much he seemed to do his best to kick it. Angela was the absolute PERFECT woman to help with that too. Not only did she help with her full support and love, but it also helped when his protecting instincts kicked in.

Even though this was one book I found myself in tears in, I also found moments that were filled with a bit of humor, a lot of love, and heart-stopping action! This series never ceases to amaze me. I love each and every SEAL and the women they fall for. Finn needed this happily ever after and I was THRILLED to witness it and especially with a heroine that fit his personality and lifestyle to a T! Caitlyn O' Leary Definitely did a MARVELOUS job with Her Fierce SEAL! She wrote a story that will no doubt touch many women and men who suffer through PTSD and who have come out on top triumphantly! I love how she wrote a story that was full of heart, sweet as pie, and full of action that leaves you on the edge. I can't seem to get enough of these books!

Her Fierce SEAL gets a HEART-MELTING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! This is the kind of book you will need tissues by your side and a glass of wine. Very well done indeed.

When a story holds you in its grasp, brings you to tears, and enrages you all at once, you know you’re on a winner.

Having followed the Midnight Delta team since Her Vigilant SEAL, I have experienced both the depth of passion and respect the author has for these altruistic and committed men whose primary goal is ‘protect and save the innocent’. Delving into murky waters is never easy, but Ms O’Leary has ensured that readers are aware that the life these courageous men lead is far from glamorous, and that danger is literally around every corner.

While the term PTSD is far wider known today than ever before, the reality is all consuming. As the wife of an ex-soldier, I can assure you that the nightmares, cold sweats and terror of an unexpected load noise, can result in debilitating fear and pose a physical threat to the sufferer and anyone within reach. So for me, the author’s telling of Finn’s story and this all to real condition, needed to be on point and not glossed over.

I have read many stories where the PTSD is simplified and the sufferer essentially makes a full recovery, however I can personally attest that is rarely the case. For those afflicted, the carnage and atrocities of war are forever implanted in their psyche; and for the men of the Special Forces units, there is always a price to pay for every good deed, and the fallout can often be their very souls.

This is a story that needed to be told, but more importantly needs to be read. For Finn’s struggle to separate his culpability in situations where he had no control and the unflinching dedication and loyalty he displays to his team and each and every mission may help others to understand the complexity and the torment PTSD can cause.

I hope you enjoy Finn’s story as much as I did, but more importantly, I hope you appreciate the author’s message that the psychological consequences the men and women who serve your country endure can be every bit as incapacitating as physical wounds. And by acknowledging these issues they are even more of a hero, as it allows the implementation of support, professional guidance and peace of mind to those who love and adore them.

If you read Her Daring SEAL, book five in the series, then you'll remember Finn went undercover with Dare and Rylie to take down a human trafficking ring. Finn had to witness too many atrocities during that mission, knowing he had to stand by and wait before they could make their move. When that time came, with memories of all the girls had to suffer, Finn took pleasure in ridding the world of the evil men behind it.

While Finn doesn't necessarily regret his actions that day, he is having a hard time reconciling everything that happened. Right now though, he and the team, along with their women, are helping the rescued girls find new homes and trying to track down the babies that were taken from some of them and "adopted" out. But when Finn, believing he's become a monster, tries to request his discharge from the Navy, the team disagrees and Clint works his computer magic, thereby showing Finn as requesting a temporary leave, and Finn knows that's his only option as his teammates, his family, won't accept any other outcome. As Finn searches for redemption, he reaches out to a childhood friend, one that helped start a company specializing in certain assignments. It is during this time when Finn meets her...

Angie now runs the family business, a private investigation company and is determined to help reunite Dasha, the niece of a long time family friend, with her missing baby, Yulia. She's also working her regular cases, some of which are pro bono for those that need her help, yet can't afford it.

As Finn and Angie work the missing baby case together, the time they spend with one another allows their mutual attraction to grow, which also means their connection does as well. However, due to the demons Finn is struggling with, he tries to keep his distance from Angie believing he's unworthy of someone such as her.

Will Finn and Angie find Dasha's missing baby? Can Finn keep Angie safe from the trouble coming her way due to a separate case? Will Finn seek the help he needs? Will he be able to rejoin his team? Will he want to? Do Finn and Angie have a chance at a future together? Or will Finn let her go, thinking he doesn't deserve her?

One-click now to read along while Finn works on conquering his demons with Angie beside him offering her support. Please keep in mind as this is book six in the series, I highly recommend reading the stories in order for the sake of continuity and full enjoyment of the characters.

On a side note, I really liked the characters and the story. Finn and Angie are perfect together. There is one thing I could've done without though and it is purely a personal preference. As Finn discovers he can possibly solve the issue of the direct threat against Angie by catching the person at their weekly visit to a strip club, Finn is talking with the owner, also a headliner, prior to the "meeting." She asks some questions, one of them pertaining to how he knows Lou, Angie's Grandpa, and Finn tells her he's closer to Angie than to her Grandpa. The woman is disappointed but he essentially says if it wasn't for Angie he'd definitely stay and watch her show. Then he thinks how he couldn't believe he was actually flirting and that he's starting to finally enjoy life again. Quite honestly, that ticks me off. You have a girlfriend, you've said the I love yous, and now you're flirting with a stripper and saying you'd want to watch her act if it wasn't for your girlfriend. Oh and because you're flirting, that means you're enjoying life again. Umm, wouldn't you be enjoying life thanks to your girlfriend, being in love with her, and your sex life with said girlfriend? But no, flirting with a stripper means you're enjoying life. I'm sorry, but no, I don't want to see the male main character flirting with anyone else. Even if it is harmless, he basically just told this woman, yes, any other time I would love to see you take off your clothes. What the heck? Seriously? This was nearing the end of the story, and I have to say as we had spent so much time prior to this scene watching Finn and Angie fall in love, that then reading as he flirted with a stripper, was proud of his ability to do so, and that he'd want to watch her show if he didn't have a girlfriend, it sort of took away from their earlier declarations, their time together after the strip club scene, and their future HEA.

**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.**

WOW what a roller coaster of emtions this story brings out. It seemed like I was laughing one minute and crying the next. My heart so went out to the hero of this book that it was all most impossible to put it down.

Finn, our hero in every sense of the word, is beyond broken. Sent in on a mission he did things that he knew had to be done yet was paying the ultimate price in having to deal with the memories. While trying to do so his path intersects with Angie, a strong woman who works in the male dominated world of private investigations. A world that is not all glitz and glamour.

Angie and Finn's end up working together but at what costs? Angie sure doesn't need a man (especially a sexy over protective one) and Finn has to deal with the fact Angie makes him want to be a better man all while making him more shameful of his past. Can these two overcome the past and help each other heal or will they both give just enough to get the current case done and move on?

2 Thumbs Up for an extremely well written book that is a definite must. Trust me you will Not be sorry with this one!

Working for the Midnight Delta team, Finn went undercover on a human trafficking mission. Even though he ended up saving the girls, he cannot forgive himself for the things he had to do in order to keep his cover.

When he returns to the team, he believes he is a liability to them and their safety so he leaves. Not telling them where he is going. There are still babies missing from his last mission and there is one in particular that he wants to find. Doing that while dealing with his PTSD is quite a challenge.

Angie is a PI who is also searching for the missing baby. Finn and Angie decide to join forces and look for the baby together. The way they handle their attraction and Finn's PTSD make this an emotional story.

This was a very well-written book that handled PTSD extremely well, making it clear how Finn suffered. It was a new take on this disease for me. Also, human trafficking is a hard topic (as is PTSD) but this author handled it well. I love books about SEALs and Finn and the Team were great. I loved them.

I was amazed how the author took a horrible operation on human trafficking and was able to end with an HEA.

This book shows what a difference we can make in others lives. You don't want to miss it.

Finn is suffering PTSD following what he was forced to do in the previous book. He blames himself for hurting the girls, when he in fact saved them. Angie has been helping one of the girls try to find her daughter. When these two exceptional characters meet, sparks fly. I loved this storyline. Lots of action, danger, intrigue, friendship and romance, help to make this a book I will not forget.

In three words how would I describe this book. Heart-wrenching, soul touching, mind-blowing. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review and wow what can I say except that you will be truly rewarded. This story is amazing and goes in deep about PTSD, which if you do not know is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Many of our friends and loved ones suffer from a form of it if they have been in a hostel environment where thier lives or the lives of others are lost hurt or broken. It's not something to get over easily. But in this story you see how it affects even the strongest of SEAL, Finn and how Angie helped. But you will also see she also has a form of it herself.. But love can conquer even in the darkest hour.
Finn is an amazing sexy Navy Seal. But he has seen and done a lot of things others would shy away from, he is tough but also broken inside. So broken he leaves his brothers in the Seal behind to try to fix his head. He still sees the pain that he caused in others but he doesn't see the good. But somehow he can see and hear Angie the beautiful PI (private investigator). She becomes his ground and safety net. Until someone hurts her and the old Finn is coming back with revenge in his blood to make whoever hurt and threatened her pay. Plus also still helping keep the victims of his last mission safe as well. Trouble is brewing and the devil comes for a victim and is willing to hurt destroy anything or anyone in its way, the devil thinks he is stronger smarter and deadlier but he has met the Midnight Delt squad, they are a force to be recognized. Plus they have Shadow Alliance on thier side... Declan is amazing and scary prepared.. And Finn childhood best friend.but he is also sooooo much more. Well I think I have said enough read and find out the mystery of what is happening? Is Finn going to get better in order to come back to Midnight Delt or not? Is Angie a forever girl? Why is she mixed up in the mess? Who hurt her? Or her family? Who is Declan? And what does he do? And who is the Devil?

This was an excellent addition to this series. I love Caitlyn's writing style and her characters are wonderful. Each of these books has allowed looks back at the previous characters and has followed a well built story. I guess they could be read as stand-alone, but I really recommend reading them all in order!

Finn is broken. Maybe not physically, but his head isn't quite right anymore. Caitlyn does an awesome job of showing the reality of PTSD, not only its effects on the person who has it, but also on the world at large. I love that the heroine, Angie, doesn't "fix" him or cure him. It's heart-breaking to see his struggles, but that's the reality of it. It doesn't make Finn any less lovable or wonderful, it just explains a lot about how he deals with everything.

Angie is strong and capable, a proud woman in what's typically a man's job. Caitlyn doesn't make her superwoman, but does make her someone I could admire and like a heck of a lot. Her dealings with Finn are sweet and touching (some are also scorchingly hot!). She is the perfect compliment to his Alpha-ness. Like I said, she doesn't miraculously "fix" Finn, but she is a strong pillar of support when he needs it.

This story is a continuation of the previous books. Things get resolved, but we have at lease a couple more Alpha SEALS (and other agency guys) to dream about!

I received an ARC for an honest review.

If you want a story that steals your breath and grabs your heart then you must read this book!
Finn Crandall is a Navy SEAL who is tortured by his last mission, the things he saw and the things he was forced to do to achieve his mission have left him broken and suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). He feels like he is a danger to his family and his teammates, so he does what he think he has to, and leaves town.
After a call to a lifelong friend Finn ends up in Texas following a lead that actually is tied to his last mission, finding a baby torn from her Mother. Finn teams up private investigator Angie Donatelli, Angie is a tough, skilled, and beautiful woman. Finn sees something in Angie that fills him with hope one minute and shame the next, he's sure that he's undeserving of love and happily ever after. After Angie witnesses one of Finn's flashbacks she recognizes that he has PTSD and wonders what the poor man has gone through, but stands by his side. When Angie is attacked and beaten all of Finn's protective qualities come to the surface and Angie see the hero underneath the pain. Angie becomes the light and the rock that Finn didn't even know needed.
This is extremely well written book, it deals with PTSD in a sensitive and caring matter, has sensual love scenes, and edge of your danger. Well done Mrs. O'Leary! I
Highly recommend this book and can't wait for the next one!

Heart-wrenching and heartwarming addition to the Midnight Delta series!!

Finn is rattled after a mission. He was working undercover posing as one of the traffickers of the young women the team rescued. What he saw while infiltrating the group, and his fury as they brought the perpetrators down made him full of self-loathing. When Finn requests a discharge, they arrange for leave instead. Finn connects with his childhood friend Declan to assist his on a project for the Shadow Alliance involving locating the missing babies taken from the captive women.
Angie Donatelli is a private investigator investigating the location of Dasha’s stolen baby. She greets Finns intrusion with mistrust, but realizes he has data she needs. As these two start to work together the sparks begin to fly. But Finn keeps finding himself back in the farmhouse where he had to play the part of a “bad guy” and replay watching the girls being mistreated, and he no longer trusts himself. When another of Angie’s cases become dangerous Finn’s protective instincts kick in and they admit their growing feelings for each other.

Two people with painful pasts, the mystery of the missing children, local and international dangers culminate in this touching and passionate story. You will both laugh and cry with the amazing characters brought to life in this story.

Although this book states that it can be read as a stand alone I would recommend reading the whole series in order to full understand some of the events that are briefly spoken about.
Finn wants to be a tough protective guy for his friends & family but is really suffering from PTSD following events from his previous missions, especially the last one. He travels to Austin, Texas and meets a PI Angie, together they help with issues from his last mission and Angie helps Finn somewhat with his PTSD whilst Finn still tries to be the alpha.
A great read, wonderful to see PTSD treated in such a sensitive & honest way and not a you've had help once so now you are cured type of thing, you can see Finn gradually start to improve in small steps until he gets to the point where he accepts that he also needs & obtains profession help.
Really liked how Ms O'Leary handled this and hope this couple are re-visited in future books from this series.

Her Fierce SEAL by Caitlyn O'Leary is a great SEAL romance. Ms. O'Leary has given readers a fast-paced read loaded with magnificent characters. Finn is a SEAL with PTSD but he can't stop until he finds a young woman's stolen baby. Angie is a private investigator working on the same case. Sparks fly when they team up to keep Dasha safe and find her baby. Angie and Finn's story is loaded with drama, humor, action and suspense. I enjoyed reading Her Fierce SEAL but it did have a few editing issues, not enough to make me quit the book though. I will gladly read more from Caitly O'Leary in the future. Her Fierce SEAL is book 5 of the Midnight Delta Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Wow I had doubts that I'd be able to read this book due to the content. Don't get me wrong I love this author and her writing style but baby kidnappings rip my heart out, as a mother who wouldn't be traumatised by this.
Great job to the author for handling all the drama, the PTSD and the aftermath of the kidnappings of babies and mothers. Such a roller coaster I was sent on, I was teary eyed one minute and chuckling the next. The story line was at times intense and I was gripping my kindle. The characters were fun to know, at times sensitive and dealing with mental issues. It was all over too soon and I look forward to this author's next adventure.

Whoa! Every book in the Midnight Delta series just keeps getting better and deeper, wrapping me up tighter into their world. Yet again, I feel like I have another favorite story!

My heart shattered for Finn and the struggles he had to process and accept his actions and the results of their last mission. Experiencing his pain and flashbacks just drove the point home how finite the line is for some protectors and the situations they find themselves in to reconsile the good with the bad. I adored his compassion and his protective instincts, and how he fought through his struggles to be the man Angie needed at her side. I loved how he was determined not to let his PTSD rule his life, and to do what he needed to to work through things and start his journey to healing. I loved watching his brothers-in-arms surround him with the kind of care and attention he needed - they have such an amazing bond.

Angie is a delight with her attitude (hahah, pulling a gun on Finn the first time they meet!! I'm still cracking up over that!), her heart, and her strength. She has a soft core that needs care, but she's also put together enough that she's able to dig deep and be the partner and support Finn needs in his life at this moment. I can't wait to see how these two finish sorting some things out as the series progresses.

I also loved getting to see/meet Declan! I've already read his story, but I can see how Declan's book is connected to this and I loved this little peak at his pre-story. Even though I recently reread Declan's book, now I'm wanting to visit it all over again!

If you love getting a bite of reality along with a treasured HEA in a military romance story, you want not only this book, but the entire Midnight Delta series (and the accomopaning spin-off series/stories). Caitlyn O'Leary is right up there as my favorite military romance author along with Cristin Harber, Natasza Waters, and Kaylea Cross. I adore this world she's given us and I cannot wait to see what's next!

Fighting for Love

Finn Crandall, fierce SEAL of the Midnight Delta team, is fighting some serious PTSD from the mission in which he performed undercover work. The work was disgusting and went against every graIn in his being. But he did his best, protected and saved everyone he could and claimed revenge on the evil doers in the end. But the result of his missions saving women from the grips of criminal human traffickers has damaged him. His inability to function as part of the team has him leaving them. But he runs to Texas to help a private investigator, Angie Donatelli, who is searching for the stolen baby of one of the kidnapped women the team rescued. Angie is also fierce and fearless. They work together on both the baby stealing case and a violent domestic abuse case Angie is handling. The result of their work is a closer relationship where they both see the results of the trauma they've both endured. It also gives them opportunities to provide support in their times of need. When their mission becomes protecting some of the women being pursued by their former abductors Finn finds his team's support needed and valuable. The appearance of teammate Drake is both hilarious and insightful. The inclusion of two Viet Nam Marines (Angie's grandpa and his friend) to the force they need is welcome to the story. This is an impressive story of losing confidence and being mentally damaged due to severe trauma and then recognizing the need for correcting the impact. Finn realizes the support he received from those around him must be augmented by professional help. Angie is crucial to his recovery and recognizing the broken image in his mirror is not the one everyone else sees. Excellent tale of the horrors heroes must sometimes fight to overcome.

Great addition to one of my favourite SEAL series

Midnight Delta team member Finn, was put in undercover on a mission, that involved human trafficking. He did his best to serve and protect, but he had to do some things that he can't forget. He ultimately saved the girls lives, but he can't see it.
When he realizes that he needs to leave the team before he comprises their safety and deal with the symptoms of PTSD this ultimately leads him on a path towards forgiveness and love. He heads off to find one of the missing babies from the trafficking mission.
Angie is a PI trying to track down the missing baby of one of the victims, Dasha and when they meet, sparks fly.
Can Angie help Finn fight the inner daemons?
I guess you'll have to buy the book to find out.
's. O'Leary has Done a good job in describing the effects of PTSD, along with creating a believable storyline that wrapped up one of the baby farming victim's. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I will be buying the next book too.

I've read the other books in the series. When our hero decides to take a bit of time away to sort his head after the last mission, he can't sit still. He decides to help a friend who contacts him about helping out a PI who needs some help.

Our heroine, the PI, has decided to help her grandfather's friend out to find her baby. Its pro bono but she only wants to give the mother her baby back. When our hero finds this out, he finds the baby and mother were both part of the human/baby smuggling ring he is still trying to deal with.

Our hero and heroine but their information together to accomplish their main goal - reunited a baby and its mother. However, there will be enough twists and turns you don't see coming. The sizzle in their relationship is one you will see coming and the strong attitude of the heroine is appreciated when she helps the hero in dealing with his feelings and emotions regarding things he's done in his life. However, will they keep coming between then or can they work things out?

Her Fierce SEAL- Midnight Delta Book6

This is another amazing book in this action packed suspense romance with another of the Midnight Delta SEAL, Drake, finding the love of his life. She is a kindergarten teacher that was helping one of his six sisters,Piper. He had to fly back to Tennessee when his father was released from prison early and was trying to kill Piper. It was very exciting as Drake who is the protector for his sisters and his SEAL brothers come to help him out with his ruthless parents and uncle. They are out to kill him and Piper. Drake and Karen fall in love amid all the chaos that was going on and she tried to help out and got roughed up in the process. It was an amazing story and it shows how close Mason and his SEAL unit were a real family and would do what ever it takes to have each other's backs and their families as well. I cannot wait to read the next release in this fantastic series.

I didn’t like him. I felt sorry for him as he was obviously struggling mentally.

When I read a romance book, I want to fall in love with the hero. I struggled with Finn. I felt sorry for him, as he was obviously struggling mentally. But I didn’t think phwoar he’s hot! Like I did with Mason and even Drake!

When Finn is first mentioned in Masons book, he was having a really hard time, because his grandad has Alzheimer’s. And yes it’s really sad to witness people that you love, and they don’t remember you. But, I don’t mean to sound harsh, but Finn really really struggles with it. Then he really really struggles with having to punish a woman in Darius and Rylie’s book.

Finn is very obviously a sensitive soul. There’s nothing wrong with that. I personally want to read and escape from the world. Not read about him and his depression. Personal opinion.

After the British Columbia mission, Finn Crandall know that he's damaged. It was the proverbial straw that broke him. Now he needs to regroup and that means putting space between him and Midnight Delta. His childhood friend sends him to Austin to work on finding another of the missing babies. Angie Donatelli is working the same case. She's one fiesty P.I. and not about to take him at face value. Teaming up with her gives Finn something he hasn't had in months...a smile. Things grow more intense by the day with Finn and Angie. They become each other's rocks as the slog their way through through threats and planning for what could be an all out war. Keeping Finn from tipping over the edge is Angie's number one priority.

Another great read!

Finn’s story really touched my heart, because of how real and raw the author was with her depiction of his PTSD symptoms and emotions, as my own dad had similar struggles for years as a Vietnam Veteran. This alone had me rooting for him, even without being sucked into the intriguing storylines! Angie was his perfect counterpart, strong when he needed it, but also willing to let him take care of her or take control when that’s what he needed. As in the other books, this one has plenty of witty banter, laughter, drama, angst, potential for tears, action, love, lust, and more. It’s all about the characters and who they are to each other, and how they are willing to go for one another! On to the next for me!

When Navy SEAL, Finn Crandall returned from his last mission and being undercover his head was not straight. His team was still working to find places for the women in the cabin in Canada and to help find their babies that were sold.

He took leave and went to Texas and met a private investigator that was helping one of the young women find her baby. Angie claimed Finn at Her Fierce SEAL as they found out that a Ukrainian General was after the young women they wanted to help.

The love was sweet and the action was fast and satisfying and the ending was happy too for the young woman and her baby and for Finn and Angie too.

Finn

This is another great addition to the Midnight Delta SEAL team series. The battle against human trafficking has been brutal, especially for Finn, who went undercover in book five. He blames himself for what he sees as failures, is suffering from nightmares and flashbacks, and knows he is a liability in his current state. So, he says goodbye and "goes dark". But Finn is still in the game, just working a different angle. He heads for Austin, where one of the girls his team rescued has relocated. And there he meets Angie Donatelli, PI, who is already working to find the girl's stolen baby. Together they are formidable, but trust doesn't come easy for either of them.

Wow, this one was a little guy wrenching for me. Poor Finn, he is dealing with so much. He has a severe form of PTSD. He needs to break away from his team, but he takes on a solid mission. His childhood buddy Declan who helps him with Intel. He refers him to see Lou Donatelli's granddaughter, Angie, who took over his PI firm. These two team up to complete his solo mission.

Your heart will feel like it might shatter fir Finn's trials. Angie is a great heroine.

I missed Finn calling out Declan on the stunt he pulled without fins knowledge. I believe that was missing in the story for me. I hope in the future Declan has his own story.

EXCELLENT NOVEL!

I thought this novel was excellent. The plot was an exception ally sad but interesting. Its terrible to think of how much trafficking takes place in the world today. Angie and Finn's relationship just drew me in. It wasn't the typical issues of trust or previous bad experiences that haunted them. I particularly liked how Finn was so emotionally available to expressing his feelings. The novel was NEVER dull and didn't give me time to think. I think it would make a great movie script. I would highly recommend this novel. Thank you so much for entertaining me the last 48 hours.☺

Finn and Angie's love develops somewhere between a rock and a hard place. They're tossed together to track down a missing baby, end up dealing with more human trafficking, and in the midst of all this their combustible chemistry erupts in passion.

I love all the books in this series. Each of these men are strong alpha protectors who know how to solve problems and take care of their families. Some reviewers have criticized them for lack of realism, but that's the very definition of fiction as far as I'm concerned. I read romances for the everything-works-out-in-the-end fantasy, for the guaranteed HEA, and for the pure escapism. This series is everything I love about romances.

Two broken souls that needed healing and found it with each other. Angie was Finn's light in a dark world in his head. Being a SEAL meant seeing things and doing things that would save lives. Finn is tortured from his last mission and Angie needs his help finding a baby that belongs to one of the girls from Finn's last mission. It's there the spark and they deny it at first but that doesn't last long. The two end up with more than they can handle but it won't break them. Finn has feelings that only Angie can bring ad the same goes for her too, so they work together on the case and each others souls.
Caitlyn did great in having you follow and keep up with the story. Look forward to reading more of her books.

I really enjoyed this story!
Finn is a SEAL who has just completed an undercover mission that left him with flashbacks and a lot of guilt. He travels to Austin and meets Angie, a PI. She is trying to help one of her grandfather's friends. Finn has info for Angie. The 2 of them begin a wild and crazy mission to reunite a baby with its mother.
Add in a little romance, a lot of action and a team that is not willing to give up on one of their own and this was a great read.
