ABOUT THE BOOK
Jayden “Jedi” Evans is the youngest Navy SEAL to make DEVGRU / SEAL Team 6 / Tier One in over a decade.
The benefits far outweigh the disadvantages on most fronts, but not where his love life is concerned. Girls his age are immature brats. They have no respect for the dedication nor the commitment required. His team comes first. It’s as simple as that.
When a gorgeous, older by at least a decade, ‘Frog Hog’ at Suds After BUD/S Bar accepts his offer of no commitment … no strings … just balls to the wall … banging—Bella Rayne Parker becomes a bad habit too good to give up.
When she disappears, he discovers she’s been hiding from someone evil.
You can bet your sweet ass vengeance will be served up on a silver platter, but who serves it, and how is the kicker.
MY REVIEW
I was pleasantly surprised with my first Jessika Klide short novel. She packs a punch in a short, but sexy hot romantic suspense.
Bella Rayne Parker has lived a new and quiet life under a new name after her harrowing escape from an evil and dangerous man many years ago. Then one night she meets a cocky young Navy SEAL who shows her a good time and a new outlook on life. Two rules: Remember he is a Navy SEAL and he’s not like her ex.
Jayden “Jedi” Evans is the youngest recruit on SEAL Team 6, but what he lacks in age, he makes up for in confidence and persistence. Enter the lonely and gorgeous cougar who agrees to stay frosty with their relationship, but her self-assurance and grit intrigue him beyond anyone else. When things go wrong, he fights to bring her back safe.
Ms. Klide does an excellent job moving this short story along at a fast pace with great character development. Bella is resourceful and courageous as she flees an evil man, changes her name, and becomes a trauma nurse. I like that this smart woman chooses to go to a bar filled with Navy SEALS. What better place to feel safe from a dangerous man? I’m also a fan of older women/younger men tropes, and this one fits the bill. Jayden is a perceptive young man who knows what he wants. His protectiveness and attentiveness to Bella is refreshing and so hot. Throw in a kidnapping, a Navy SEAL rescue, and a happy ending and it had me hooked.
If you love fast-paced, action-packed, intriguing, age-gap romantic suspense, pick up this book. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
Thank you to Ms. Klide for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
