If I had seen the cover before I read this, I would not have read this.
What is that?!
This is part of an Anthology called SEALs of Winter: A Military Romance Super Bundle. This particular story followed Flash Fire by Elle Kennedy, the only reason I got the anthology. Despite the ridiculous cover, the first page sucked me in.
Cloe Carter is intent on getting through Christmas without thinking about her family. The first year alone has been hard enough but the anniversary of their deaths has her losing it. Determined to get to the grocery store and go home as her hustling on her bike. Too bad for her that a man runs a red light, hitting her in the crosswalk.
Enraged, the man proceeds to get out of the car, yelling about how she was in the street on a yellow light. For a moment she thinks the man might hit her, but a hero made of braun and muscle comes to her aid.
Our hero? A Navy SEAL by the name of Donovan Demarco.
Naturally, like most stupid romance books, Donovan insists on making sure she gets home safely and proceeds to stay the night in order to take care of her. Before long, they realize that each other is the person destined for them. Unfortunately, Cloe starts to get threatening phone calls. Someone is out to hurt her, but Donovan refuses to let that happen.
This was by no means a brilliant story, but I was entertained. This was mindless reading if you're in the mood for a romance about SEALs, short and sweet.
But oh that cover. I will never get over this cover.
