My Review

All the books in this anthology, even if they are the first part of novella series or a complete story are great. I love when i can read a book and it be filled with all my favorite military romance authors plus some other authors who I have never read.  

The anthology as a whole has a little bit for everyone there are suspense, wounded warriors, erotic, series stories and yes heartbreaking stories also. Of course a couple of my favorites J.M Madden and Sharon Hamilton are in this anthology, I never have a bad thing to say about these ladies their books are also an auto buy for me. 

Gennita Low has the first part of her book The Seal... I loved it and was highly disappointed when I couldn't keep reading... I hate waiting for the next part of a story especially when it pulls it in.

I love Cindy Dees... I have never read any of her books before but I loved how she integrated a female SEAL into the antho. Tina and Ford where great together and I am excited to read more books by her. 


Anne Elisabeth and Cat Johnson's stories where both engaging and complete stories with some sizzling sex scenes... Thank you Anne I don't think I will workout in a gym without thinking about practice mats.

Cristin Harber, Sabrina York and Elle James all their stories have some form of action in it... that give the stories a real aspect which I really enjoyed. When chaos and gunfights can bring the hero and heroine together I enjoy the read even more. 

P.T Michelle's story is more of an erotic story and I truly look forward to reading more about Mr. Black. As the past connects with the present I can't wait to see what happens next. For me it was more a teaser for her story which i love and hate... as I wanted to keep reading.

Delilah Devlin has a way of writing feisty heroines who are not afraid of taking what they want. In this case a independent daughter of a Congressman meets harden SEAL who takes his job seriously. There is some seriously hot scenes in this book and not every female needs a male to save her.

Teresa Reasor is an author that will always have me crying at some part... her story is filled with heartbreaking news, tons of love, and show the give and pull that deployed families deal with. 


Overall this is a wonderful anthology and I can read it again and again.
I rate this book a 5 out of 5 Genie Lamps.
You can purchase this anthology for 99cents on Amazon Barnes & Noble

Hot Alpha SEALs Blitz



Tasked with finding and eliminating the source of terrorist pirate activities off the coast of Honduras, SEAL TEAM 10's Jack Fischer "Fish" goes undercover as a deck hand on a floating medical boat where he finds himself protecting and falling for the beautiful doctor who runs the show.



Devastated by an auto accident that took the lives of her husband and baby daughter, Dr. Natalie Rhoades, has dedicated her life to helping people who don't have access to good healthcare through her nonprofit floating medical boat. When she finds herself and her crew the target of a leftist guerilla group, her new deckhand proves resourceful.



Jack and Natalie fight to provide the care needed to the underprivileged while battling an attraction neither thought possible as it heat intensifies in Central America.

From a crouch, Jack shoved the jet ski across the sand and into the water, hitting the start button. The engine stuttered. “Start, dammit!” He hit the button again and the engine roared to life. Gunning the throttle, he rocketed out into the bay, laying low over the machine.

“What’s going on, Fish?” Swede demanded.

“We’re under attack. I’d say we found our guerillas.”
 Only 99 CENTS in the amazing Hot Alpha SEALs Boxset!!Amazon US

In 2012, my husband, daughter and I traveled to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. While there, my daughter, ever the flirt, became friends with a deckhand on the charter boat we toured the British Virgin Islands on. She's kept in touch with him since then and followed him through Facebook on his many adventures. One of his adventures was to be a deckhand on a floating doctor boat. I loved the idea of a boat of medical personnel traveling along the coast of Central America providing medical services free to those who didn't have access or funds to seek it. I knew I wanted to write another SEAL story to add to my TAKE NO PRISONERS series and this gave me the best jumping off point. Leftist guerillas are a problem in Central America. Kidnappings are a real threat. Add in the SEALs and you have a great combination for a story.

My Review


This Anthology is full stories of Hot SEALS and by some of my favorite military authors... There are short novella reads and even full length reads... It is a steal for 0.99 cents.  

-Code of Silence by Marliss Melton was the first story in anthology... Vinny and Ophelia have a great story and Ophelia has a tendency to get herself into trouble due to her job. Not to mention she has other reasons for going to her Mother-In Laws for  Thanksgiving. This story has everything you could want in a Military Romance, it pulls at your heart strings, make you call the heroine stupid, has bad guys, Sexy Heroes and even some make up sex. Really liked this one.  

-Holding On by Stephanie Taylor is the second story in the anthology... It was a quick little read, I loved how Chris would do anything to get home in time for the birth of his son. Jamie is hell bent on having a home birth and wants nothing more thank Chris to be there for the birth. Throw in Family, Snowstorm, Stubborn breach baby, crazy travel plans, and just a bit of luck... You get one great read.

-Mutiny's Bounty by Delilah Devlin is the third story in the anthology and introduces us to Lace and Dex... Lace is a travel agent who books adventure vacations... She is out to try swimming with sharks when her fear gets the better of her and literally has her "saved" by Dex. Dex is providing security along with other members of his team...When he see Lace he thinks she is just another rich girl who wants a fling... Couldn't be more wrong... When the Adventure vacation goes crazy and the guides are the bad guys... Can Dex save the day and protect Lace... Falling in love in some cases is more dangerous then swimming with the sharks. I Loved this story as it ties in with Delilah Devlin's other book Dangerous Liaison which was published in the Uniformed Desires Anthology/Box Set. It has great sex scenes,action, alpha males, and a stubborn heroine who knows what she wants.  

-Warrior (Crossfire #5) by Gennita Low is the fourth story in the anthology and I have to say I love me some Cucumber and Cupcake. This was one of the full stories and I absolutely loved it. Gennita Low has a way of writing both action packed and humorous stories. The Pink Room is to die for and so is Kit (Cupcake) and Lucas's (Cucumber) banter. I love how she connects her Crossfire series and the characters from book to book... It have everything interconnecting missions, action, danger, humor, Hot Sex and Complete characters... Great addition to this anthology.  

-SEALS Desire by Elle James is the fifth story in the anthology... It is not only about overcoming loss but also being able to forgive yourself. Remy and Mitchel  shouldn't ever be together as Mitchel was Remy's friend and teammates girl. However both make a pack if they are single on Valentines Day they are going to go out. However,Mitchel is undercover as a stripper and Remy just happens to almost blow her cover... Mitchell is determined to find her friend, even though she could be in a lot of danger, Remy won't let her work alone so him and his team back her up... This is a great read, that has great sex, suspense and a complete story line. 

- Breaking Free by Teresa Reasor is the sixth story in the anthology and one of my favorite. When Zoe's Brother (Brett) is injured during a mission, his Commanding Officer Adam (Hawk) offers both her mom and her a place to stay till Brett gets better. Zoe is knows something happened but Hawk isn't talking and the hardest thing is knowing that someone within the team is responsible for Brett's injury. Hawk and Zoe fight their attraction but soon loose that fight to what feels right. Knowing who to trust is hard and when team secrets come out will the team be broken for it, and will Zoe & Hunter be able to make a go of their relationship. I love that Zoe is not a flawless beauty and the Hawk makes her feel beautiful and worth something. Great Story. 

- SEALS Lost Dream by J.M Madden is the seventh story in the anthology and is connected to her Lost and Found Series. Flynn was a Navy SEAL K9 Handler and deals with PTSD and the loss of his MWD (Military War Dog). He is a magnet for animals that are hurt and takes them to the local Veterinarian Willow. He never says much just makes sure they get taken care of and leaves. When Maya the dog he saves adopts him as her human we see Flynn deal with the loss of his K9 and the inability to function like a "normal" person. I love that Willow accepts him as he is and works to make things easier for him. J.M Madden has a way with writing wounded warriors that touches you heart and has you falling in love the hero along side their heroine. Another awesome read. 

-Seal My Destiny by Sharon Hamilton is the last story in the this anthology. Luke has PTSD and guilt over both the marine and his fiance who died next to him. He finds comfort in the arms of Julie and after their night together he feels closed in and brushes her off. The wedding of his sister takes him right to Julie and the realization that his sister and her brother are getting married. Julie and Luke work it out over coffee and well some hot sex... There are ups in downs in this story which I like and Sharon Hamilton shows that asking for help is not a weakness. I really liked this story and found it a fitting ending to this anthology. 

Overall- This is a great anthology which is filled with stories by great authors and focuses on Alpha men and the women who make them whole. 

I rate this Anthology 5 out of 5 Genie Lamps

My Review
I have to say that I absolutely loved this box set. To me personally there is nothing sexier then a Man in Uniform and this anthology contains a lot of Men in Uniforms. I love all these authors and each of the stories were great reads in their own rights. I read the whole anthology which i will confess took me two days as I had to read in my free time.  There is so much going on in this anthology I honestly believe there is something for everyone in it.  
There is action, romance, steamy sex (which everyone loves), a love triangle, wounded warriors/ disabled veterans, hookups that lead to something more, and  heartbreaks to happy ever afters. The stories in this anthology will make you feel so many different emotions and that is the essence of a great read. Even if you just buy it for one of the authors you will happy with your purchase, as it is only 0.99 cents which is a steal for these authors and their writing.  






I rate this Anthology 5 out of 5 Genie Lamps
