I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. This was a quick pace book with lots of spicy scenes and hot bodies. Great read.
Jack was forced to retire from being a Seal due to injury and is working to find his new life when he crosses paths with an old flame and big surprise.
Ebook from netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own words.
Jack Williams has never felt so lost. For him, being a Navy SEAL wasn’t just a job, it was a way of life. Protecting people had always been his strength, until a career-ending injury forced him into retirement. He’s struggling to start over when he stumbles across a car in a ditch, springing him back into action. Only this is no random citizen in distress. He knows the pretty face behind the wheel. Intimately. In fact, there’s a good chance the baby in her arms is his.
This was a pretty good book The three main characters were likable and the overall plot was good. I recommend.
**I voluntarily read and reviewed this book
This book was the right amount of romance, and action. It was enjoyable and kept me wondering what was going to happen!
A story about a Seal who had to retire because of an injury. Now later he comes across a car that is in a ditch and he knows the person in the car and she has a baby as well. He had rescued her about a year earlier and they spent a night together and now he is a father but besides that, he knows she is supposed to be under protection by the Marshalls. After finding what happened he begins to prepare to leave when they are attacked and for the most part this is the story. Running from her father’s people so she won’t testify against him. He does not think he will be good at it since he still cares for her but of course, he does not tell her right away. A good fast-paced story with a lot of action.
3.75 stars--ALL ROADS LEAD TO YOU is the third instalment in Jennifer Probst’s contemporary adult STAY erotic, romance series. This is rescue farm owner Harper Bishop, and Irish horse trainer Aidan O’ Connor’s story line. ALL ROADS LEAD TO YOU can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information form the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Harper and Aidan) ALL ROADS LEAD TO YOU follows horse trainer, Irishman Aidan O’Connor as he looks for his next challenge. Having left Ireland under mysterious circumstance, Aidan finds himself in New York’s Hudson Valley, at the Bishop family B&B, where his future is about to change. Enter animal rescuer and rehabber Harper Bishop, and the woman with whom Aidan will fall in love. What ensues is the professional and romantic relationship between Aidan and Harper, and the potential fall –out as neither one is looking for a permanent relationship beyond the present.
Harper Bishop struggles with Phoenix, a difficult horse whose abusive past has left him skittish and broken. Meeting Aidan O’Connor finds Harper reconsidering Phoenix’s future, as well as her own future with the man with whom she will fall in love. As Aidan begins training Phoenix for a run at the Derby, Harper begins to let down the walls surrounding her heart.
The relationship between Aidan and Harper is one of immediate attraction but neither one is in a place for romance or love. Aidan has been burned by his former partner, and lover; and Harper’s past doesn’t allow her to trust the ministrations of a man who is only in America for a limited time. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are reintroduced to Harper’s sister and B&B owner Ophelia Bishop and Kyle Kimpton (A Brand New Ending#2), Ethan Bishop and his wife Mia: f summer ranch hands Chloe, and newcomer Owen; Aidan’s former business partner Colin Flynn, as well as a assortment of townsfolk and busybodies.
ALL ROADS LEAD TO YOU is a story of family, friendship, struggle and promise. The premise is engaging and entertaining: the romance is seductive and captivating: the characters are energetic, cautious and hopeful.

I enjoyed this book - it was the typical knight in shining camo x 2 with a few twists and turns thrown in. Despite the odds, it's definitely a HEA ending. I'd definitely recommend this one.
I liked the action packed twist on this tried and true trope. I loved the chemistry between Samantha and Jack. The suspense really held my attention. While there were problems to overcome, they weren't beat to death like some stories are presented. I thought the writing was smooth and full and easy and quick to read. Very enjoyable.
3.5 stars.
Favorite quote (from ARC):
“(…) The baby had been remarkably good in a crisis. She must’ve gotten that from him.
An unexpected swell of pride ached in his chest.
My daughter.
Man, part of him was still trying to wrap his head around that. His kid. His to protect. His to provide for. His to love. For a guy who’d never thought much about his emotions, it was a lot to process.”
An enjoyable read with likeable characters and an adorable baby girl, “The Protective Seal”, by Katie Knight, is a story full of romance, action and suspense.
Jack is a former SEAL, medically discharged, who is steadily rebuilding his civilian life. Sam’s life is anything but steady, yet she’s a strong, intelligent heroine.
This story held my interest and it was nice to have a wounded hero without too much dramatics and a romance low on angst, where the obstacles are external to the couple.
Despite the cohesiveness of the SEAL world depicted in the book, and SEAL's camaraderie, values, ideals, competence and toughness, sometimes I felt the SEAL credo was a bit too much emphasized.
First time in coming across this author the title drew me to try this. I am a sucker for a novel containing a Seal especially one that has so much promise. In this one though this Seal has gotten a little lost since he had to retire but not by choice so that right there gets us wrapped around his finger. He still has a mission so to speak and that is where we get wrapped up solid in this. Jack and Samantha take you on this one giving us a look into intrigue and suspense with the romance that is fueled once again. The drama that threads through this keeps us also along with all the others one that we stick to until the last page.
4.5 Stars A wonderful story with intrigue, action and suspense, I really enjoyed The Protective SEAL and highly recommend you grab it and read it for yourself.
very lovely book I read this in one sitting this past weekend... just loved it .. thank you for letting me read this book
Jack Williams, a Navy Seal rescues Samantha Engel in Costa Rico and after the one night together they go their separate ways. Sam is the daughter of a mob boss in Chicago. She has agreed to testify against her father. She is in witness protection and now has a daughter from her night with Jack. He has retired from the Seals and has a ranch in his little home town in Nebraska. Sam and her daughter are on the run from members of the Marshall's Service her dad has paid off. Jack comes along and rescues her again. Now they just need to keep her alive until she testifies.
The Protective SEAL is a wonderful story packed with danger, intrigue, undeniable chemistry and second chance romance. Jack and Sam are incredible together and their depth of attraction was evident from the beginning. Circumstances have separated them for over a year, but an attempt on Sam’s life throws them back together and reveals a secret that will change Jack’s view on the path of his future and a life he never envisioned.
The Protective SEAL has everything a romance reader thrives on; there’s a hero, a damsel in distress (but definitely not a shrinking violet) and some serious danger and suspense. And add to that a fabulous plot, great world building and some tugging at the heart strings, and you have it all. Ms Knight has definitely hit this one out of the park!
Duh, one of those guys was bound to be dirty.
I like that he found a way to move on with his life after the military.
She is unnecessarily stubborn. It's annoying.
He is an adorable new father.
Stefan is so messed up in the head.
THE PROTECTIVE SEAL is going to grab you by the heartstrings and not let go until the final page – if then. Jack and Samantha had one amazing, intense night together when they were separated from the SEAL team that was sent to rescue her. She was on the run and heading into witness protection so neither thought they’d see each other ever again. But life had other plans for this couple – and their beautiful baby girl.
Everything you need to know about this story is in the cover description blurb. What that doesn’t tell you is the intensity of this story, the fast-paced action and the sizzling chemistry between Sam and Jack. I enjoyed every single moment in this story and would have enjoyed even more. Those details you should discover for yourself, but I’m betting that you’re going to fall in love with one adorable baby and her protective parents. If you’re looking for a sexy, intense romance that will pull you in then you should be adding THE PROTECTIVE SEAL to your need to read list.
*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*
This book had me from the first page! I loved almost every second and then the other I cried over. I love these romantic heroes and their women. There's nothing like a Navy SEAL action romance in my book.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Wow! Holy Cow!
Hot to Trot a Seal is on the loose!
Once I started on this book I could not put it down, action from start to finish, kept me reading more waiting to see what was going to happen next.
Who can it be now? That is what I kept wondering who was the next one coming after them & if true love is really going to happen.
Separated by circumstances not by choice, made me read on to see if there was any hope at all for the two of them.
A good book keeps you reading a great book is the one that you can not put down this just happened to be one of those great books that you really love from start to finish. Especially as it had me glued to my sit reading ever page ignoring all around me but this story as I could not put it down!
The Protective Seal is on my favorites list & Leslie North & Kate Night have been added to my must read, must have authors books!
Such a great book. While it had romance it definitely had a lot of action as well. Keeping Sam and Glory alive was top priority for ex-Seal Jack. Neither bargained that they would fall in love.
Sam has had to be resilient pretty much her whole life. I love a strong female lead that is okay letting the alpha male take care of her. The protective Seal, is just that. I love it!
