Book Review: SEAL'S CODE (Coronado Team 2) by Makenna Jameison

 Warning: This one's not a cozy but romantic suspense and contains adult content

About the Book

Navy SEAL Everett “Ace” Walker didn’t expect an instant connection with the woman he met online. Her husky voice, sexy laugh, and witty personality made him fall—hard. But he’s never even seen her. When she rushes to meet him one night, he suspects she’s hiding something. Ace wants to find out all her secrets but also keep her safe. 

App developer Addison Moore loves the nights online gaming with the mysterious guy she met. He’s funny and a great listener, with a protective streak that makes her melt. When they finally meet in person, she realizes he’s her every fantasy come to life—tall, muscular, and a Navy SEAL. Shivers race down her spine just being near him, but she can’t drag Ace into the complicated mess that is her life. 

When they discover that Addison’s roommate is part of a sex-trafficking ring, Addison is willing to put her own life in danger to protect other women. Ace is furious and will do anything to keep her safe. But can he also convince her to be his? 

Review 

Jameison weaves a story of two people who meet online gaming and enjoy some conversation. Ace makes the first move and asks Addison to meet him. Addison's not sure and odd things are happening that make her feel unsafe. She gives in - mostly to escape the mess her life has become, but also to satisfy her curiosity. They hit it off and though she's reluctant to get Ace involved in her troubles, he gets involved.

The story is well-written, the characters of Ace and Addison well-developed, and the pace is quick and steady. This is one of those books you shouldn't start reading in the evening and expect to go to sleep mid-way. Not happening. It follows the same format as many other romantic suspense novels with SEALs, with twists and turns to the HEA. If you enjoy romantic suspense and don't mind some adult content, you'll enjoy this one as the story unfolds.

  1. suspense is not normally my thing, but this does sound intersting.
