Greater than one weekI love a good book about people in the Armed Forces, especially hot hunky guys who are members of an elite team of Navy SEALs! The author included interesting tidbits of information about Military life. She also gave detailed descriptions of the terrain in Afghanistan, the country in which the SEAL team are in while performing their mission. I will definitely be reading more in this series of books by Elle James. .

> 3 dayThis story grabbed me at the first paragraph and havent let go yet....and kept me on edge right to the last sentence. I highly recommend this one, and will certainly look for more books by this author! Thank you, Elle, for a great story, well-written, with believable, loveable characters....and a hero I wanted to slap upside the head so he would see what was right in front of him! But if he had, the story wouldnt have been nearly as much fun! I will definitely be looking for more!

> 3 daySensational story!! I really enjoy Elles books because she knows the military lingo and gets it right while still making the book make sense to us civilians. This story is about Tuck who is a Navy Seal and a helio pilot Delaney. The have an on again off again relationship, if you can call it a relationship. Its exciting to watch a tough guy realize what he wants and go after it. Its a hot read that keeps you guessing right up until the end.

> 3 dayI started this book as an audiobook because I was looking for a new narrator to listen to and Kaleo Griffith was highly recommended. Gotta say, I didnt take to him much. His voice really didnt do it for me. Top that with the fact that the nature of the story didnt sit well with me, I decided not to keep going with this. I dont know if I would have liked this story more if I had merely read it rather than tried to listen to it as an audiobook. Not sure. Im thinking at some point, I might go back and give it a shot at some point to check it out via reading cos I thought the writing itself was good and I dont want to write Ms James off as a writer. That would be unfair when it was the narrator of the audiobook I didnt take to.

> 3 dayTuck and Delaney certainly have a rough road to their HEA. Commitment phobics, they cannot declare and enjoy their love. Delaney commits to Reaper after a tragedy in Afghanistan because of fear for his life. Tuck reluctantly honors Delaneys commitment through guilt. It takes tragedy and honor on both sides to find their way. A serious war theme, yet simply written and entertaining.

Greater than one week‘Seal’s Honor’ Take No Prisoners Series – A Military Romance By: Elle James RT Book Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ RT Cover Rating: ♦♦♦♦♦ Reed Tucker (Tuck) to his buddies, raised on a Texas ranch, a U.S. Navy Seal, the best of the Navy’s best, the most highly skilled, highly trained elite group in the Navy. Hard bodied and good looking, of course are there any ugly SEALs? I don’t think so. He was taught to respect women, take care of them, keep them from harm, but never get too close. Tuck, part of Strike Force Dragon, a six man team assigned to the Middle East hunting and taking out Taliban insurgents, a hard, dangerous and deadly job but one he loved. But he does have one hang up, he harbors a deep fear of commitment with women. His parents, divorcing and remarrying several times has left a bad taste in his mouth and he just does not believe in love. He doesn’t think love is real and thus has not let himself get close to any woman, and there have been plenty in his young life. Not until Delany walks into his life. Delany O’Connell, a highly trained and skilled Army Black Hawk pilot, the first female to be assigned duty as a pilot on co-op missions in the war. Part of the 160th Aviation Regiment “Night Stalkers”, she could fly her bird into the worst of the worst of situations, bound and determined to do everything right, no mistakes that could cost human lives. Lives of her flight crew and the elite Navy Seals that she transports. Delany has always had one rule, not to get involved with damned SEALs with their massive biceps and quads; she was not into long term relationships with men who may not come home. She knows the risks and has been there and done that and wasn’t going to repeat it. A good looking woman, blond hair, a little slip of a gal, but built like a rock and could take care of herself in most situations due to her intense military training. Delany and Tuck end up in up on a training mission in Little Creek, Virginia, home to the Navy SEALs where they become friends being in such close contact with their training and soon their friendship escalates into a sexual relationship. Not a big problem with either of them as they both have agreed to not become overly involved, never to let their hearts enter into the equation. But as fate has it, you can imagine what happens. This is a romance book after all. They find themselves in Afganistan involved in a highly dangerous mission op that turns their lives upside down. With another Seal proposing to Delany, Tuck not admitting his true feelings for Delany, the twists and turns in this book will keep you glued to the pages. I really, really liked this book. It’s very military based which I felt right at home with as I’m so closely involved with the military myself. The author uses a lot of military lingo in the book so you might find it a little confusing at first, but you’ll catch on soon enough. There is a lot of fighting action in the book that will give you a good insight to what military live is like along with the hazards and dangers that our men and women face each day fighting in the name of freedom. The author did her homework, and even though it’s a rather short book you will gain a new respect for the military way of life. There was only one error that I saw in the story as far as grammar boo boos and I thought that the editing was good in that respect. The author keeps the story moving, it doesn’t drag and bore you to tears. There are a lot of twists and turns in the story line and the characters are lively and will bring you into their lives through telling their story. The sex scenes in the book are very clean, not raunchy and in good taste from the author. Which is refreshing to me, after reading some that get so down and dirty it’s kind of sickening? All in all though it was a very good read I wish that it would have been a longer story though as it was definitely my cup of tea.
