We train for war and fight to win. 

 Mental toughness is a steadfast requirement to become a SEAL. Like his teammates, Aidan Mixx is ferocious in this quality. No one knows he uses one night stands, dating app hook-ups, and a swaggering, lewd, persona to cover his haunting weakness. Orders to the Bronze Bay, Florida, SEAL base is a change of scenery and pace. Slowing down just enough to realize not only is sleeping around in a small town more difficult when everyone knows each other, but he might be ready to settle down with one woman.

 If she’s up for the challenge. 

 Magnolia Sager lost the only man she has ever loved to his barely-legal secretary. To make matters worse, their teenaged daughter was the one to catch her father in the affair. Mentally battered and bruised, they flee to Bronze Bay for a fresh start. The antique store keeps Magnolia busy, and the very last thing on her mind is love. She is hesitant when her best friend suggests healing old wounds and moving on by using an app to date casually. Meeting a man who makes her weak in the knees is surprising. Wanting to continue dating him is shocking.

 Falling for him is insanity. Loving him, impossible.

 What would you sacrifice for something you wanted? Something that was dear to you? A little? Just enough? Or everything? Would you burn it all down to the ground and steal that which you covet most?

We train for betrayal and fight for forever.

Five Stars!


This book is Rachel Robinson at her best!! I loved it so much and flew through the damn thing. The epilogue starts off dropping a colossal bomb and keeps you on edge the entire book.


If you've read Crazy Good, it’s like what she did to us in that book. I don't even know where to start.


Aidan and Magnolia have become one of my favorite couples Rachel has written. They had undeniable chemistry from the get-go, and you were rooting for them to make it work.


Aidan being a notorious manwhore and Magnolia being a divorced single mom that never dates are an unlikely pair. The two meet for the first time after messaging with each other on a "dating" or hookup app. Aidan figures out pretty quickly he Magnolia isn't the type of girl he is looking for not one-night-stand material, but that's all he wants until...


"Bad boys don't reform. There isn't some lesson we learn that turns the tides. What happens, and I'm pretty sure it's true for most of us is, we casually stumble into the woman made for only us."


Both Aidan and Magnolia have loads of baggage. Aidan had a horrible upbringing, and Magnolia doesn't trust men at all.


"I'm a person worthy of being loved. I am a hero but not the obvious reasons. You know why? Because I survived you."


I loved everything about this book, their initial meeting, their first night, their farce relationship and their real relationship. They both brought out the best in each other. Aidan understood that as a mother her child would always come first and that's where it gets sticky because no matter what, Magnolia will ALWAYS put her daughter before anyone and especially after what her daughter has been through.


"This is what happens when men do bad things. Good Men swoop in and steal the things they used to care about."


Let me tell you towards the end of the book my stomach sank and I thought, "no Rachel you are not doing this, this is not what's supposed to happen."


I won't ruin anything for you because spoilers suck, but please pick this book up, you will not be disappointed. It has all the feels; laughter, angst, love, and tears.

BRAVO!!

Stealing It is another great Bronze Bay SEALS book! Aidan and Magnolia’s story had me hooked from the prologue on! Their chemistry was absolutely amazing and I like that they each brought a different type of hurt along for the ride, childhood drama and a failed marriage. While these two seemed a like two total opposites, their relationship grew into something so much more as Aidan and Magnolia were perfect for each other. Toss in a teenager daughter, Kendall, for some drama which totally caught me off guard and an ending that had me in tears, I enjoyed every moment of this book!

Bad boys don’t reform. There isn’t some lesson we learn that turns the tides. What happens, and I’m pretty sure it’s true for most of us is, we casually stumble into the woman made for only us.

Magnolia Sager relocated to Bronze Bay, FL for a fresh start after her teenage daughter caught her husband cheating on her with a much younger woman. She didn’t go expecting to find love and most especially not from any of the Navy SEALs that are stationed in Bronze Bay but when her friend convinces her to try a casual dating app and she’s paired up with Aidan Mixx she begins to learn that maybe the SEAL reputation doesn’t apply universally. Aidan’s no stranger to casual dating and one night stands, it’s how he’s lived his life up until moving to Bronze Bay where he realizes that casual dating in a small town isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. When he’s matched with Magnolia on his dating app, he starts wondering if maybe he’s ready to actually settle down with one woman. A tiger can’t change its stripes, though, and when Magnolia witnesses something shocking, she wonders if the same holds true for a Navy SEAL.

I enjoyed this return to Bronze Bay! This time we have a single mom paired up with a Navy SEAL and as an added twist, Magnolia is a single mother of a teenage daughter rather than a young child which introduced some interesting dynamics that you don’t often see. The prologue kicks off the book with a jaw-dropping moment that’ll leave you wondering for quite a while! I enjoyed how there were a lot of unexpected moments throughout this book, including a really big one toward the end. It definitely will keep you flipping the pages to see what’s going to happen next. I thought that Aidan and Magnolia were very sweet together. I wouldn’t have expected Aidan to have been so sweet and romantic but I guess it just takes the right woman to bring that out in a guy like that! Magnolia was a very strong and capable heroine and I really liked seeing her find who she was meant to be with after all she had been through. This book also had its fair share of angst and it’s definitely a bumpy ride for Aidan and Magnolia as they fight for their happily ever after. If you’re looking for a sweet and sexy romance with some unexpected twists, then you should check this one out!

What would you do when your marriage falls apart after almost 20 years? Crumble down, or pick up the pieces of your broken heart and move on? Stealing It tells the charming (and sometimes angst-y) story of Magnolia and Aiden, who are just perfect for each other. I’ve enjoyed reading it.
“You are the most beautiful creature I’ve ever seen. Are you actually human?” Her blush stains high on her cheeks.”

Magnolia thought she had it all; husband, daughter, great house, good job. When she finds out about the affair of her hubby and his much younger secretary, she and Kendall – her teenage daughter – move away to start over in Bronze Bay. Busy with building their new life, Magnolia isn’t really looking for a man, but she can’t say no to Aiden. Aiden is a Navy SEAL who has seen everything, good and awfully bad. Magnolia is very different from the women Aiden normally dates but staying away from her is impossible.
“My breathing speeds and my stomach tightens. I’m in unknown territory, so even though I know this is a normal feeling, I can’t control my hands as they clench and unclench by my side.”

I feel sorry for Magnolia. Finding out about her husband’s cheating the way she did, not good. But she doesn’t crumble down and begs. She takes control, control over her and Kendell’s life and their new future. Magnolia is still a bit unsure about herself, so it’s no surprise she’s a bit hesitant about Aiden. He’s such a man, so different then her ex, she just doesn’t know what to make of him, and her feelings for him. Aiden on the other hand is very sure about Magnolia. He sees a good, loving woman and quickly realizes she’s forever material.

I love Magnolia and Aiden together. Although they come from different places, they are right for each other. Stealing It is mostly a sweet story, but since this is a Rachel Robinson book, you know the couple has to work for their Happily Ever After. And Magnolia and Aiden are no different. Personally, I think the author puts our couple too much through the wringer, but my inner angst-addict doesn’t mind. The ending of Stealing Itis sweet, just what Aiden and Magnolia deserve.
“He looks so dashing and handsome. The picture of love and respect. He stands, taking me into his arms. Seeking out his lips, I kiss him deeply.”

Wow, this author has hit it out the park again! This is an amazing, delicious read that hooks you from the first page and kicks you out at the end wondering what you are going to do with your life now it’s all over. The author paints a beautiful picture of Bronze Bay, the reader feels as if they are there with the H/h, you can almost feel the sand between your toes as you read! Aiden and Magnolia had me hooked from the start, I absolutely devoured this book in one sitting the author takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride of emotions, at times I was on the edge of my seat wondering how things would end. I loved that we get to see their relationship blossom and bloom, it’s not without problems but that makes it more realistic. I loved the banter between the two, there’s some laugh out loud moments but also some low ones that made me cry. Both have emotional baggage, plus Aiden has more ex’s than I’ve had hot dinners! Throw in an emotionally unstable teenage which adds to the drama and we have one amazing read!
This was another fabulous read from this author, wish I could give more than 5*.

A complimentary copy of this book was provided in lieu of an honest review!


This is the first Bronze Bay Series book that I have read by Rachel and I am here to say it wont be the last one!!! Magnolia is one of those heroines that you cant help but be in awe of her strength. The hurt that each character brought into the story was something that makes it so real and amazes you when they come out at the end and are stronger than they ever realized they could be! Aiden and Magnolia's chemistry was beyond amazing, and made me fall in love with the more and more the longer I read!

With getting to know each other more they were more than perfect for each other, they were able to become what each other needed and so much more. And of course this wouldn't be a good book without a good obstacle thrown in. Introducing the teenage daughter Kendall and you have a full family.

This book had me in tears and swooning while also rooting for them at the same time. SOOO many feels were felt while reading this book and I loved every single minute!

I've enjoyed this series, Navy Seals and their heroines. While the prologue is a definite shocker, it sort of preempted this story in a way. I felt like I knew there was more to it than that. I know Aiden from the other books and his reputation is wildly known, player and laid back but a solid friend. While I'm not too keen on the timeline forward then backwards then present time. While it was nice to know how Magnolia and Aiden started even it was purely physical at first, I felt I wanted more present day.

Both had their fair share of insecurities coming in to their relationship. If they move forward from the debacle at the start they need to work on that together. They had chemistry even with the angst going on. Magnolia is stronger tha nshe thinks and a good mom. While Kendall her daughter, teenager creating a mess and drama they need to sort through.

Good ending though it all comes full circle. It had a few tidbits of lessons and heartfelt ones too. A good addition to the Bronze Bay series.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Magnolia Sager and Aidan Mixx. Magnolia wasn't looking for love but she was looking for that right now man. Or at least that is what she tells herself when she meets Aiden though she wonders can she have more? Aidan isn't looking for anything but a casual hookup he has seen too much in his life to be looking for any type of commitment. The seals is his one and only commitment. What happens though when he starts to feel more for Magnolia. Can these two find not only a HEA but maybe some healing as well or will they go up in a blaze of glory letting their past ruin their future?

This is an amazing story. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Stealing It by Rachel Robinson is the third book in the Bronze Bay series and OH MY GOSH it was sooooo amazing! This was the first book I’ve read by Ms. Robinson and it definitely won't be the last. Even though it is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone. I could not put this book down at ALL. Magnolia and Aiden's story is full of surprises making you feel every single emotion right along with them.

Magnolia is a single mom that was burned badly by her ex-husband. Now raising her teenager daughter alone, she fears she will never be able to trust a man again. When her friend suggests a dating app, Magnolia has no idea how much her life is about to change. Aiden is everything she never knew she wanted. But will her past affect the future she's always wanted?

Aiden is a Navy Seal living in Bronze Bay. He is a player never settling down no matter how much women beg him. Traumatized by his past, he has no idea how to love. But one date changes it all. When he meets Magnolia, he knows she's a game changer. Will he be able to move forward and learn to love?

I ADORED this book so much! These characters, the storyline, the writing, it all was FANTASTIC! I loved Magnolia and Aiden so much. Their chemistry was palpable. I highly recommend reading this book! Looking forward to reading more from Ms. Robinson.

Mark my words, folks. Magnolia Sager is one of the strongest heroines I've ever read. She lost who she thought was the love of her life to his practically jailbait secretary and somehow managed to keep her head up and put on the most fierce face ever for their teenaged daughter. Who, by the way, is the one who CAUGHT her dad cheating! Seriously. Such a twisted, messed up situation. Yet Magnolia and her daughter push through and end up becoming some of my favorite characters of all freaking time.

Story Line: So, yeah, chatty cathy over here sort of gave away the beginning of the book. I mean, the excerpt tells you most of this so it's not a spoiler alert. But anywho. Magnolia owns an adorable antique store. Her daughter is in high school and they are going on with their lives without cheater cheater pumpkin eater. But Magnolia is lonely and afraid to get out there. She's convinced to use a dating app, and next thing she knows, she's under the gorgeous spell of sexy beast Aiden. It was supposed to be casual and definitely didn't involve meeting her daughter. But these two just can't color in the lines when it comes to one another. But there's so much more than things getting serious. There's angst and conflict and teenage hormones thrown in there too. Aiden and Magnolia have an insanely bumping road to their HEA. But when they get there? It's beyond perfect.

Interaction: Aiden and Magnolia somehow manage to communicate with one another like they've been in each other's lives forever, instead of the short amount of time they have. He's a man who goes after what he wants, and that something is Magnolia. He sees himself wanting things he never thought possible and Magnolia bulks and pumps the breaks because of how easily they become devoted to one another. I love the push and pull between them - how simple and beautiful their relationship is. Until it isn't. And it's how they recover from that "isn't" that makes their love story so flawed yet so amazing.

Laundry: Yes. So much yes. Or right, you're wonderful what the heck I'm talking about. Well, Aiden and Magnolia are pure FIRE together. Seriously. Every single time these two come together for naughty magic, my toes curled painfully and my fingers buzzed with each passing page. I. LOVE. THEM.

Depth: You know a book is good when you literally have to stop yourself from sending a private message to the author demanding they explain themselves. Not. Joking. Around 85% into this story, I thought I was going to have to send hate mail to RR. That's all I'm going to say, but before you write off this story - DON'T. Obviously this review is telling you how much I LOVED THE BOOK. So, my hate mail would be premature. Because the ending? It's the finale of all finales. SO EPIC.

Magnolia Sager has moved to Bronze Bay with her daughter, Kendall, for a new beginning after her husband, Paul, had an affair. Her best friend Jenny encourages her to join a dating site for shaking off the cobwebs and moving on.

Aidan Mixx is a Navy Seal and a player in every sense of the word. He has no desire for more than one night with a woman and wants to be clear with the woman upfront that there is no chance for more.

Yet there is something about Magnolia that makes Aidan want to be a better man and he will do what it takes to convince her otherwise. Yet his reputation is widely known and will it cost him the woman he loves?

This was a great book with some wonderful twists and turns!!

I thought Magnolia was such a wonderful character and as a single mom there was so much I understood. No matter what my kids come first and even if something happens and the fault is theirs I would still choose them over any man! I loved that she did go out with Aidan and was able to get through some of his walls and defenses.

I must admit that I really did not like Aidan at the beginning. I found him so cocky and overbearing and I wanted Magnolia to run away as fast as she could but gradually you began to see a different side of him. I loved when he began to change and you realized his feelings for Magnolia were genuine.

I was so mad at everything that stemmed from what Leo said and how everything completely spiraled from there. My heart did break a little for Aidan as I knew he was innocent with it all but Magnolia felt so torn and confused.

Towards the end of the book my heart just took an absolute beating by the author. OMG!!!!! I can't ruin anything but oh my goodness and I would have done exactly the same thing that Magnolia did with her decision for Aidan to go find Kendall.

The very end was much better and I loved that Paul got put in his place!!

"I may be into casual dating, but if I ever find a woman I want to keep forever, that's a game changer."

Aidan Mixx is a player in a small town. He doesn't do relationships. Ever. Damaged beyond repair by a traumatic upbringing, he has no interest in letting anyone get too close. Until he meets Magnolia. She's not just beautiful, but also a refreshing change.

"It's a risk to give anything except my body to Aidan Mixx, and yet I feel it happening, felt it happening all night long."

Magnolia had her heart broken once before, and she's not prepared to put it on the line again for just anybody - especially not a somelike like Aidan who uses dating apps to find hook-ups. The most important person in her life is her teenage daughter.

"Having your hand on my heart feels right. The only thing that's felt this right in my entire life."

This was a great story. It was sexy, romantic and a little bit heartbreaking. Aidan and Magnolia really connect, and I loved how Aidan was man enough to face up to his growing feelings for her and willing to explore the uncharted territory of relationships. I hurt really badly for him when Magnolia refused to see the truth of things, but it's obvious where her priorities lay.

I absolutely loved the ending - it was so gorgeous and romantic. Perfect finish!

Stealing It is definitely one of my favourite books this year!

Stealing It is fantastic single mom/SEAL romance. Magnolia has barely dated since her divorce after her ex has an affair with a much younger woman. Feeling burned by that, she has barely dated but agrees to trying a dating app that is more about hook-ups than dating. She meets Aidan, a SEAL who excels at hook-ups. Magnolia realizes the one night only scenario isn’t really her. The two strike up an agreement that makes both feel comfortable- a short dating with lots of sex.

Rachel Robinson has written some of the best heroines in romance literature. Magnolia is one of my favourites. I always find single parent books far more relatable than say, 20 somethings find forever love. I loved her relationship with her almost adult daughter.

And talk about hot heroes. I love Rachel’s SEALS. They are my favourite book boyfriends. Aidan is uncomfortable about being with Magnolia for more than one night but Magnolia challenges his behaviour. Aidan faces his past and the choices he has made.

As with all of Rachel’s books- you’ll find some of the best sex scenes ever. Hot, funny, sweet and dirty. Definitely one of my top books this year.

Just like the name of the book "Stealing It" I felt when the heart of Magnolia crashed in front of her eyes. And how one thing can destroy faith and hope in the human psyche.

In this enchanting book, Second Chance for Love, Rachel Robinson brings us two amazing Characters Adin and Magnolia.

Two people who have had a difficult past, two wounded souls, that once they meet they understand how much they need each other.
Magnolia, who grows teenage daughter Kendall in her own after her heart crashed, tries to do everything for her daughter. She puts herself second in the life cycle until she decides to go out again and try to merge again into social life. And then, she indeed finds the one – Aidan, A Navy SEAL man, she feels an immediate connection to him.

And of a reckless thing and without thought all the trust that built destroyed before her eyes.

The book brings all possible emotions, ups, and downs - fears and hopes - disappointments and illusions - love and heartbreak.
This is my first book in a series of Bronze Bay SEALs that I read after reading Robinson's amazing books the - Crazy Good series.

I'm glad I gave the opportunity to read and recommend.

You know you are going to go on a roller coaster ride of emotions from the very beginning, and, boy, what a ride it is. During this journey, we get to know who Magnolia Sager is, the struggles she’s had to make to be where she’s at, and who the important people are in her life. We are introduced to Aidan Mixx in a very unexpected and unorthodox manner, but as the story unfolds, we learn that he’s so much more than the player a**hole he first appears to be.

This is a story filled with emotions. There’s the delight of unexpected passion, the pleasure of an emerging relationship, then the heartbreak of deceit and betrayal, followed by the pain of loss, which ultimately leads to the hope of starting over, and the promise of what’s to come. Magnolia and Aiden are remarkable characters. You can tell they are really made for each other, which makes some of the events so very difficult to face. Their story is full of all the feels and plenty of steamy passion. I highly recommend this very engaging and appealing romance! It’s part of the wonderful Bronze Bay SEALs series but reads as a standalone.

My heart literally stopped during this book

No cliffhanger
Standalone
Told from both POVs
Minor editing issues throughout

I have never read a book where my heart literally stopped and I lost my breath before. I don’t want to give anything away but there is a part in the book that is so unexpected I found myself stuck, just starring at the page in disbelief.

Aiden is a player. He isn’t looking to settle down. He uses a dating app to easily have flings. The problem is, in a small town word travels fast.

Magnolia is a single mother trying to get back in the dating game. She knows all about Aiden but thinks it might be a good way to get past the first hurdle.

One thing leads to another and real feelings develop between them. Aiden has never experienced a connection like this before and will do everything in his power to make this work.

But when outside forces are working against them there is no telling if they will be able to overcome the odds. And then tragedy strikes, it could be game over.

Good book. Just for the unexpected curveball it is worth reading.

FOREVER SWOONING over this author’s hero’s! Rachel Robinson is my absolute go to when I’m in the mood for a feel good military romance. She combines sensational writing, tear jerking angst, and a variety of moments you want to hug your kindle for dear life. Stealing It, is no different, and has proved to be yet another beautiful story of a hardened Navy Seal putting his all into a relationship-much like he does his dangerous missions. Aiden and Magnolia have a chemistry that we sense right from the beginning few pages-and it doesn’t really ever taper off. Even with the added dynamic of a teenage daughter, the couple handles curve balls so sophisticated that I really couldn’t put the book down.
I must confess there was a point in the book where I almost broke my kindle-but that’s what makes this author so amazing. I don’t know anyone that can pull these kind of emotions out of me while reading, and as long as Mrs. Robinson continues to write military romance-I’ll be a die hard fan. An absolute must read!

Stealing It is my first Rachel Robinson read, but I will be going back and reading the first two books in this standalone series.

First of all, the cover. The. Cover. I absolutely love it. In fact, all the books in the series so far have phenomenal covers: the couples, the poses, the font, everything.

Stealing It was a 3-star read for me due to the prologue, and from there, I found it difficult to fully invest in the story of Aidan and Magnolia. I'm sure it's just a personal preference on my part, but I think without the prologue (or a different one), I would have enjoyed this book more.

I liked the connection between Magnolia and Aidan. It started out as strong physical chemistry, and following that, they connected on a deeper, emotional level. They fit well together, and that was an unexpected and pleasant surprise.

Talk about a good book!

I do have to make a small spoiler though... it is something you will learn in the prologue. But, if you don't want to know what it is, please stop reading.
I mean it.
Stop reading if you don't want to know.

Okay, here goes....
I could not believe Aiden kissed Magnolia's daughter, Kendall.
I thought - WTF?!?!?
This made me hate Aiden in the beginning until I realized surely there must be more to the kiss then you believe in the beginning.

I'm glad this book ended up having a happily ever after or else I would have been so disappointed. I loved the tree main characters in this book and am sad to see them gone. I hope Kendall gets her own book in the future. But, hopefully, not with Leo. Maybe he will redeem himself. Although I can't see Aiden and Magnolia getting over it.

Overall, I highly recommend this book. It is book 3 in the series - can be read on its own.

After Magnolia’s marriage ended in spectacular fashion she and her teenage daughter desperately needed a new start so they moved to Bronze Bay. She has opened up an antique store and she and her daughter are slowly healing when her friend convinces her to get back into the dating world by trying a dating app.

Aidan is a Navy SEAL who has been stationed in Bronze Bay. He has never had a serious relationship but from the moment he meets Magnolia he begins to wonder if it is just because he has never met the right woman.

They both have pasts they need to overcome so their journey is not all roses and romance but when it finally happens it only makes it more worthwhile. Magnolia’s strength and resilience shines through and we get to see the sweet and sexy man that Aidan really is and the chemistry between them is hot. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

SWOON!! I LOVE this book!!! I was immediately pulled right into the story with a bang. Stealing It is a story that hooked me right in. It strung me along with a swoony, romantic story until I was comfortable and then hit me with so much emotion!

Aidan Mixx is extremely scarred from a traumatic childhood. He is a Navy SEAL who keeps his emotions under the tough facade he has always hidden behind. That is until Magnolia slips into his life and heart.

Magnolia Sager is a single mom of a teenage daughter, Kendall. She doesn’t even realize that she has scars too. Her view of life and men is skewed after her difficult experience.

“...it’s obvious you’re upset. Do you want to tell me who to kill now or later?”
“You’d kill for me? Awwwww, you’re such a good fake boyfriend,”

I really enjoyed this engaging story filled with so many touches of humor. But in the end Stealing It is a beautiful and heartwarming tale of forgiveness and second chances.

Stealing It centers around Magnolia Sager,single mother and antique dealer, and Aiden Mixx, a handsome Navy SEAL with a reputation as a bad boy stationed in Bronze Bay, Florida. While there is certainly a hot romantic love there is far more to this story. Take for instance Magnolia’s disillusioned teenage daughter, a terrible ex-husband, a brotherhood of SEALS with a misfit member and a wonderful best friend. Rachel always tells her stories with humor and beautiful words. She gives us this story about love, trust, broken trust, lies, understanding and forgiveness on many levels, and finally finding their way. Stealing It is the third book in the Bronze Bay series but can definitely be read as a stand-alone. For all Rachel Robinson fans and new readers alike this is a must read book. Stealing It packs a heck of a punch!

“When it’s all out and there’s nothing left to say, it doesn’t belong to you anymore. It belongs to me. That’s the deal. I’m stealing it.” ~ Aiden Mixx

When Magnolia Sager decided she needed to “get back on the horse” after being cheated on by her now ex-husband, she still wanted to maintain a healthy relationship with her teenage daughter, Kendall.

Navy SEAL, Aiden Mixx was not looking for a long-term relationship…just someone to pass time with. He has his share of one-night-stands…proof for Magnolia was when one of them showed up at his door while she was with him!

This 3rd book in the Bronze Bay SEALS series is a wonderful, suspense-filled, sexy, hot, fantastic love story! The author, Rachel Robinson, dives into single-motherhood, and military romance with this one, and does amazing with it! I loved this book and would definitely recommend it!!!

It’s no secret that I LOVE Rachel Robinson’s books and this one was no different! This is the 3rd in the bronze bay books but is a complete stand alone, but still.. go read the others and the rest of her work if you haven’t already, you won’t regret it. She is the Queen if military (in particular Navy SEAL) stories!!

In this we meet Magnolia who is a single mum to a teenager after a failed marriage and Aiden the SEAL who hops from woman to woman.
From the moment they meet they are so obviously made for each other, and Bring out the best in each other but with a teenage girl, ex husband and traumatic childhood it was never going to be smooth sailing..

Another fabulous read that will go in my list to re read again and again.

This is the first book of the Bronze Bay Series that I have read. It is also the first book written by this author for me, and I enjoyed reading Aiden and Magnolia's story. I can't wait to read more of this series. ~Dawn


Aiden and Magnolia are amazing together. Aiden's idea to use a dating app to try and find the one started out as a silly idea, but turns out he found exactly what he was looking for. A single business owner who is sassy and sweet and needs Aiden more than he knows. These small town romances just keep getting better and better. I always feel a connection to the characters, the angst is always there, and the steamy sexy times..OHHH boy yes please!!! Rachel knocked it out of the park again per usual! ~Kaci

I honestly could not get into this book for the life of me at the beginning which really annoyed me because I above and beyond loved the previous two books in this stand alone series. The story line was a great one — man whore seal meets a single mom and one thing leads to another and they end up together— throw in a high handed teenager and another devious one and you have a dramatic story that just pulls at your heart strings and nerves cause.. you really just want to strangle those teenagers.

I did enjoy reading the ending and it gave me all sorts of gushy feelings for these two characters that went through hell and back all for that happily ever after.
