What do aircraft carriers and Navy SEALs have in common? Plenty and Bondo and the team head to the USS John Paul Jones to train the crew and innovate the process of fighting battles with near-peer adversaries like Russia and China. The world was changing and the United States Navy, a formidable power on the ocean with the capability of striking inland, needed to keep pace. Both superpowers were busy fortifying against airstrikes from carriers, and Special Warfare Operators who were adept at getting into places and eliminating obstacles were their best lethal weapons. Bondo has mixed feelings about this mission. The USS John Paul Jones was Petty Officer First Class Cameron Ryan’s duty station. The engineer had helped them complete a mission recently and thrown Bondo into personal crisis when he found himself deeply attracted to the sassy redhead. But why was he worrying? An aircraft carrier had thousands of sailors on board. What were the odds they would even come into contact?

With a huge division of aircraft mechanics, why did they have to divert her from fixing F-18s to working on the specialized subs the Navy SEALs deployed? Cameron wasn’t exactly trying to avoid the tall, gorgeous, dangerous-to-her-heart man, but being in the Navy and deployed at sea made a relationship with anyone complicated. Bondo was especially problematic because he had some issues with his past and the loss of his wife and child. To get over those kinds of hurdles, long separations hindered intimacy and forging bonds. Maybe hot sex would alleviate their interest and an affair would eventually cool. But could she take that chance?

Oh wow, I just loved this book, it kept me hooked from the first page through to the last and I’m so looking forward to Easy’s story coming up next from this incredible series. This is the second book in this fast paced series and we met both of the main characters in the first book in the series. Petty Officer First Class Cameron Ryan is a mechanic that cn fix almost anything usually it is planes but now she has been deployed to the USS John Paul Jones an aircraft carrier that just happens to be where Angelo (Bondo) Zane and his Seal team have been deployed.

So I didn't love this book like I wanted to. Cam and Angelo were great characters and I enjoyed reading their story; but there was way too much introspection and inner dialogue to keep the story moving. There were points in the story where I had to go back and re-read because I go so lost in the characters internal thoughts. That is my only complaint about this story. I enjoyed it when there was actually conversation, but started to skim the inner thoughts to keep the flow of the book.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of "BONDO". WOW!!! Another fabulous story by this author who never disappoints her books only get better with each story & this one will hold your interest to the end such an addicting read.
Petty Officer Cameron Ryan is an Aviation Structural Mechanic on Aircraft Carrier USS John Paul Jones it's like a floating fortress where no one slept she worried about Angelo"Bando" Zane Tier 2 Operator Navy Seal on Lt. Michael "Tex" Penn's Team coming to USS Jones for 6mos. her ex Kevin is a pilot, Cameron & Bondo met on a recovery mission their attraction to one another us off the charts hot.
Bando has past issues he's dealing with the loss of his wife & daughter, he doesn't do relationship, one & done, he doesn't think he's good enough for Cameron.
I definitely recommend to get this intriguing story where Cameron & Bondo take you quite the journey when they end up on same sub together for 6mos, she hasn't been avoiding him but can they get a HEA with the issues he's dealing with you must get this phenominal story you can't put down its a must read for sure. LOVED LOVED IT🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

This is the second book in this fast paced series and we met both of the main characters in the first book in the series. Petty Officer First Class Cameron Ryan is a mechanic that cn fix almost anything usually it is planes but now she has been deployed to the USS John Paul Jones an aircraft carrier that just happens to be where Angelo (Bondo) Zane and his Seal team have been deployed There was an instant attraction between these two in the first book in series but they are both fighting it He because he still hasn't recovered from the loss of his wife and child and her because she is all about her career. But a aircraft carrier is large maybe they won't connect at all but this is a romantic suspense so you know that isn't going to happen at all Be prepared for fireworks as these two work towards a HEA together

Oh wow, I just loved this book, it kept me hooked from the first page through to the last and I’m so looking forward to Easy’s story coming up next from this incredible series. Bondo and the rest of the team are on an aircraft carrier, on a training mission, and he meets up with Cameron again, an excellent aircraft engineer who he met on a previous mission and struggled to deal with his feeling for. Bondo had a tragic past, and was wary of involvement but found his feelings for her impossible to ignore - Cameron has issues to deal with too, her former husband also being on board the ship. Will their story have a happy ending - you must read to find out. This is a really well written book, taking you through the complete range of emotions as their story unfolds, and I would thoroughly recommend it.

Angelo “Bondo” Zane is a Tier 2 Operator Navy Seal on Tex’s Squad.
Chief Petty Officer Cameron Ryan is a aviation structural mechanic on The USS Carrier John Paul Jones.
Kevin is Cameron’s ex husband is a pilot.

Bondo and Cameron met on a mission to recover a plane she is suppose to fly
( she can fix almost any plane).
Their attraction is off the charts but are both ( denying it due to past issues).

Bondo from the loss of wife and child.
Cameron due to issues with her ex husband.

Can they through their deployments and have a Happily Ever After.
You will have to read the the story to find out what happened.

This book his suspense, romance, drama and lots of emotions.

Great Job Zoe Dawson !!!!

So good! I didn't want to put it down. Angelo "Bondo" and Cameron are such a terrific couple. I love that Cameron is such a strong, independent woman who garners the respect and admiration of the guys she works with, her ex an exception of course but that is because he's a BIG FAT controlling jerk... which leads to a lot of the action, danger and angst this book carries us through. This SEAL team sees her strength and considers her a part of the team, with Bondo obviously having deeper feelings. These two luckily get through their tricky pasts that still cloud their present and find their deserved HEA.

Bondo And Cameron Predictably Find Their HEA

I love Zoe Dawson. I have to say that I enjoyed The Seal Team Alpha books much more than this series.. For me it lacked the action, angst, suspense, and “feels” that I loved from her other series. There was also not enough team bantering that I crave. The ending, in my opinion, was rushed. It was just a so-so read. A turn off to me is how easy it is for an elite SEAL to lose focus on a mission when a woman is involved. Also, we don’t always need to hear how physically perfect they are. I’m hoping for a better read in the next installment with Easy’s story.

I don't how Zoe manages to make every single book better than the last one with so much original content. Bondo & Cam's story was amazing and heartwrenching, totally immersing you in their story.
I love how Zoe makes her alpha heroes so strong but vulnerable, the heroines so amazingly resourceful and strong as well. Of course don't forget that the action, twists and turns as each story continues. You can't but them down. I love getting to know each character on the team and who's story will be coming next. Zoe always introduces each in their own chapters. I can’t wait for the next book.

Love Bondo

He's the perfect mix of tough and sweet. His relationship with Easy is funny and close. All the characters are great and this is a really good storyline.
