This high-concept series brings together the glamour of Park Avenue and hot Navy SEALs in dark, smoldering contemporary romances.The Tate Brothers were once orphans and they have been raised to do one thing only: protect what is theirs.As a trained sniper and Navy SEAL, Lucas Tate found the courage to distance himself from the wealthy, wicked patriarch who adopted him. Instead, he's devoted his life to the elite band of brothers from his unit. So when the widow of one of his former comrades finds herself in apparent danger, Lucas makes it his job to protect her against all enemies. . .and not let her out of his sights. Grace Riley feels overwhelmed by Lucas's presence, but the cold-eyed marksman will do anything to keep her safe. Soon the special attention he pays her becomes a wild romantic distraction--one that troubles Grace, since Lucas was so close to her deceased husband. Still, how can she resist Lucas's intense, ice-blue stare? All she knows is that a life without strong, passionate Lucas is one not worth living. Can Lucas can find a way to honor his former brother-in-arms by saving Grace. . .and loving her, too?
I gotta admit that I wasn't quite sure how I felt about Lucas for over half of this book. He is so freaking INTENSE and brooding and I just wasn't sure if I could deal with him.
I stuck with it because I really wanted to know how he was going to get Grace out of trouble and how they were going to address the attraction that had been brewing between them for a while. Plus, I really enjoyed Grace's character and her story as an artist.
The times that Lucas let himself lose control with Grace and give in to his feelings (physical and emotional) were ridiculously hot and sexy and I loved seeing all of his walls come tumbling down.
These Tate men are hard nuts to crack and I also enjoyed learning more about Wolf. I absolutely cannot wait for his book!
