Saving Madeline: Seal Team Tango Book 4
When doing the right thing endangers her life
Madeline Dawson has always had a crush on her best friend's brother, Kaleb, but she won't cross the line because, you know, "girlfriend code". The day she overhears a conversation, not meant for her ears, though, all bets are off. Now she'll need Kaleb and his Navy SEAL skills to keep her safe.
All bets are off when his woman's life is jeopardized
Kaleb "Cricket" Balldock is happy with his life and his career--until he's not. After seeing half his teammates find love, he's ready for that next step in his life. Only one woman has ever piqued his interest but Madeline is his sister's best friend and off limits--or so he thinks. All it takes is one kiss and the threat of danger for Cricket to forget about his own rules, and go straight into protector mode.
Destiny can't be stopped
But even being on guard doesn't prevent Madeline from being taken. Cricket will do whatever's necessary to save her and have the future they're destined to have.

We are back with SEAL Team Tango and this time the story belongs to Navy SEAL Kaleb/Cricket Balldock and Madeline Dawson.
Unbeknown to each other, they have had a crush for years, but Madeline is Kaleb sister’s best friend and that line is not to be crossed.
When Madeline realizes her boss is a member of a militia that plans to destroy monuments and kill innocent people, she doesn’t know who to trust and turns to Kaleb.
As Kaleb promises to keep Madeline safe, feelings intensify as does the danger.
Will they survive the bad guys and find their HEA or will the bad guys win?
The plot was engaging and the characters likable and well developed. Though it’s a stand alone, if you have read the previous stories, you’ll get a chance to catch up with the characters of previous books.
Another good addition to the series. Looking forward to the next story.

Okay, this is now my new favorite book in the series. And yes, I know I’ve probably said that about all the other books but I don’t care. I liked the interaction between the MCs and how they finally acted on their feelings. I would say more so the H then the h, but thats understandable since she had a lot on her plate and didn’t want to get the H involved. I enjoyed the side characters and how the story flowed, but I think my favorite part has to be when the H and h kiss for the first time. It was out of nowhere and seemed like he was desperate for her so he just acted without thinking. I love when that happens. The epilogue surprised me a bit but in a happy way and we got a little teaser for the next book which is about the H sister, Jennifer. Luckily it comes out in May so we don’t have to wait too long to find out what happens to her and her true love.
Happy Reading Everyone🤓

Saving Madeline Seal Team Tango Book 4
This is another great addition to the series, although each story can be read as a standalone. Madeline has loved Kaleb since high school and it’s clear his feelings for Maddie are the same. It’s not long before Maddie is in over her head at work as her boss is more than just a rich businessman. Maddie is determined to handle the situation in her own, much to the dismay of Kaleb/Cricket. As we all have come to love and appreciate a no nonsense hardcore hot Navy SEAL, Cricket only wants to save the day and his girl. As the drama, twists and turns unfold so does their love for each other in this well written and satisfying read.

Back with Seal Team Tango and we are getting Kaleb and Madeline's story. Madeline has always had a thing for Kaleb but never did anything about it because he is her best friend's brother. When Maddie uncovers her boss is part of a militia group, she needs help. Kaleb wants to help her, but she doesn't want him to get involved. There's plenty of danger, twists and turns, drama involved with romance. Can't wait for the next book to get Hank's story. Wonderful characters and we get to see Kaleb's team in action.

Another Seal Team Tango book to dive into. Nicole Flockton is one of my go-to, one click authors. As usual the characters, Maddie and Cricket/ Kaleb, are interesting and I was invested in their relationship from the beginning. I love how the Team is really more of a family. The storyline kept me engaged and the villains were realistic. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. This can be read as a stand-alone but you get a better feel for the Team if you read them all.

Another great read that will keep you entertained and on the edge of your seat. Maddie hears something she wasn't meant to and now she's in their crosshairs. Cricket will do anything to protect her. Besides some grammar \spelling errors, it was a great read. HEA.

Too many errors
Good plot and character development, but way too many mistakes including the wrong last names and wrong pronouns. The last name Wilson was used erroneously for two different people. Plus several poorly phrased sentences. These really took me out of the story.

The latest installment in the Seal Team Tango series, saving Madeline is a thrill ride. Maddie is besties with Jen. Jen has an insanely hot older brother named Cricket. Okay...Kaleb. But Navy SEALs love their nicknames, so Cricket it is.
Maddie has crushed on Kaleb her whole life, but "sisters before misters" keeps her from acting on it. Until she finds herself in over her head with a corrupt boss, who's dragging her into his evil plans.
What Maddie doesn't know is that Cricket has had a crush on her as well, but didn't dare "go there" for fear of ruining her friendship with his baby sis. But once he gets wind of the danger Maddie is in, he and his SEAL team will do everything in his power to keep her safe. As for Kaleb...even if that means protecting her with his own body.
Their chemistry cannot be denied! Maddie is smart and sassy, but also vulnerable. Kaleb is fierce but respectful. They are amazing together. It's so refreshing to read about two people who are trying to do the right thing, but keep finding themselves drawn together over and over. There's a point where temptation simply becomes too much.
Jen will understand, right? Right?
Flockton books are always a good read and this book is no exception. A great addition to this fun, sexy, amazing world.
(Can't wait for Jen's book as well!)

Even when you know the other person is off limits, all bets are off when you’re lives change drastically. Despite knowing Cricket is her best friends brother that she’s always had a crush on, Madeline makes a bee line for him for protection when she over hears something she shouldn’t and can no longer handle it on her own. And although Cricket has always had an interest in Madeine, he’s also never acted on those feelings since she is his sisters’ best friend. When Cricket is protecting Madeline, all bets are off, neither can deny their attraction any longer. This is another great read in this series!

disappointing
The writing left so much to be desired. I lost count of how many times Maddie thought about telling Kaleb about the danger she was in at work but decided not to because she wanted to protect him. He’s a Navy SEAL!! Seriously?! And she hears her boss talking about doing something illegal and she goes back to work? Then cold calls a CIA Hotline?!
The only thing that showed Maddie and Kaleb falling in love was that they each had a crush on the other as teens. The conversations were so immature — definitely not what you’d expect to hear from military guys. One and done with this series.

Hidden crushes

Who is Madeline? What does she do for a living? What is or has happened with her job? Who are Jen and Cricket? Who is Mulholland and how does Madeline know him? What happens when she is at work one day? When she mentions it to Jen, what does Jen say to her? What does Madeline do? What does Madeline see on the news just before a knock at her door? What goes through her mind? Who does Madeline call after watching the news? What actions does this all prompt from someone else? How does this person find out what Madeline did? You have to read and see how things turn out!

Seal team family at work.
I watched the old relationship turn into a beautiful thing. I feared for Madrid's safety. I wondered how many bad agents appear in real life. I cheered when the seal team worked to protect one of their own. Yes, I ordered the next in the series. Keep writing I am hooked.

Maddie and Cricket
Omg! Loved this story. Maddie being infatuated with Cricket since they were kids was great! Turns out Kaleb “Cricket “ was as infatuated with Maddie as well but kept it to himself since she was his sisters best friend. But when help was needed his Seal Team came through to help Cricket save Maddy.
