I really enjoyed the books! They are all ex-military romance books where the men are very protective. Would recommend
I received a copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily sharing my review.
These are good stories. This is a three stories in this book. They a navy seal who wants to protect the heroine. Of the heroine thinks she can protect herself there is an attraction in each book. The heroines have different wants but what they want is two different things. They all fall in love with each other.
Military romances are one of my favorite subgenres, and I very much enjoyed this trilogy. Getting the chance to know three different couples through these interconnected books allowed all of their characters to be more developed and for the world that they live in to have more context and detail added. Reading how these tough military men are soft inside for their women and kiddos was sweet in the midst of the challenges that they all faced.
I enjoyed all the stories and though HUNTED was my favorite, the others were just as good.
HUNTED/GUARDING THE SINGLE MOTHER
In this first story in the authors’ series titled, SEAL Endgame, she delivers a story that will grab your attention from the first page to the last.
Clint Backwater, owner of Ask Questions Later Firearms and Training shop, is a former Navy SEAL. A man whose childhood in foster care has left him closed off to giving his heart to anyone for fear of both being hurt and left behind.
But that all changes when twenty-five year old Leila Ortiz arrives at his shop with a baby in tow . When she requests to buy a gun, Clint can see she is scared and likely never held one in her hands.
Even though he doesn’t want to get involved, he does all he can to keep the mother and child safe , while teaching her how to use a gun.
But what happens when feelings develop> What happens when Leila’s past comes back to claim her? Will Leila leave behind everything she’s built in Vegas? Will she leave behind a heartbroken Clint?
This was a touching story about survival, overcoming fears and adversities, new beginnings , and a second chance in life and love. A wonderful introduction to the series.
EXPOSED/GUARDING HIS PRETEND WIFE
This story belongs to Navy SEAL Eric Harvey and Beth Williams. While Eric is recovering from a bullet wound, his buddy asks him to please assist his journalist sister while she goes undercover.
In the midst of the danger and make believe, feelings develop. Will they survive both and make "make believe" a reality?
THREATENED/GUARDING HIS UNEXPECTED TWINS
Former Navy SEAL Gage Winters when his friend dies, Gage never expected to become responsible for his friend's tiny twins. Thought at a loss, the arrival of the twins's aunt, Kylie has him a tad concerned . While Kylie is not sure Gage will do a good job with the kids.
But as feelings develop so does the danger following Kylie. Will she stay causing everyone to be in danger, or will she leave those she has come to love behind in order to keep them safe?
This was an engaging series with wonderful characters and stories.
i really didnt care for this series, it just wasn’t my taste!! but i did recommend it to my friend and she enjoyed it!!
This collection includes the first three books of the SEAL Endgames series. These are well-written, romantic suspense stories that pulled me in right from the start and had me completely glued, turning the pages, anxious to see what happens next. Each story included a good combination of suspense, drama, and romance. The characters in each novel were well-developed and were well matched and had undeniable chemistry. This author is one of my favorites, and I never hesitate at picking up one of her books, and this collection certainly did not disappoint! A captivating and heartwarming collection you don't want to miss!

I liked all the books. The stories were so good and the spice was spicy-ing. Great stories. Definately recommend. Thank you for the ARC!
Hunted
Leila faces the threat of her abusive ex-husband, who is now on parole, potentially harming her and their young son. Despite the danger, she demonstrates admirable strength, resilience, and determination. Seeking protection, she visits ex-SEAL Clint's gun shop to purchase a firearm. While Clint recognizes her vulnerability and the need for assistance, he also feels a strong attraction to her.This story resonated deeply with me. It's challenging to imagine being in Leila's shoes, navigating the complexities of single motherhood while living in fear of her ex-partner. The author skillfully portrays Leila's internal struggles, including insecurities and doubts about her worthiness, as well as her concerns about forming new relationships and trusting others. I appreciated Leila's spirited nature and her reluctance to fully depend on Clint or rush into a romantic involvement with him.
Exposed
Beth, an investigative journalist, finds herself needing to go undercover, but her partner is on medical leave. She crosses paths with Eric, a SEAL recovering from an injury, and they share an immediate attraction. Eric agrees to pose as her fake husband for a couple's island retreat. Despite their individual issues and insecurities, they discover they are well-suited for each other and quickly develop feelings. The mission proves perilous as Beth narrowly escapes death three times, but both she and Eric demonstrate resilience and determination. Eric ultimately comes to her rescue. It's hard not to root for Beth and Eric as they share playful banter and flirtatious moments, making them a dynamic and appealing pair.
Threatened
Gage unexpectedly becomes the guardian of twins following the tragic death of his close ex-SEAL friend and his wife in an accident. Kylie, the twins' aunt, enters Gage's life determined to challenge him for custody. Having experienced profound loss early in life, Gage is resolute in his commitment to providing the best care for the twins. Meanwhile, Kylie grapples with the grief of losing her sister, her inability to conceive, and questions about why she wasn't chosen as the twins' guardian. As their bond deepens, Kylie faces additional turmoil when she discovers she is a target, placing the twins and Gage in danger. This emotional journey explores themes of loss, parenthood, new relationships, and self-doubt, eliciting empathy for both Gage and Kylie.
I LOVED these books!!!
The spice was incredible, and the characters were all so lovable. I was immediately hooked into each of these stories, and I wasn’t disappointed throughout any part of it. These are books that I will 100% be rereading, just to relive the stories.
This review is for the 3 book set of the Seal Endgame series. May contain spoilers
Book 1: Hunted
I really enjoyed reading this book, it was very well written and a super quick read too! The story of Leila and Clint was so heartwarming too, both of them coming from hard backgrounds and finding love and happiness in each other! I loved the romantic tension between them, there was a little spice but not over the top. Don’t get me wrong I love my smutty books too🥵 I would love to see a second book following Leila and Clint, like a part 2 to see where they are! Would definitely recommend this book.
Book 2: Exposed
I loved the whole premise of this story, faking the relationship to go on a couples retreat for relationship help so she can get the slimy scoop on what is actually happening at this “retreat”. His protection for her was super hot and it’s that forbidden love and tension that keeps me on the edge of my seat wondering when will they finally come together! Again a really good spicy scene but not over the top. The FMC did annoy me at times with her feelings towards him.
I really enjoyed the cameo from the characters in the first book. I feel like I was able to get exactly what I craved that was missing after reading Leila and Clint’s story. The author found a great way to tie the 2 books together. Hope we see more of these couples in future books. This book did have more “closure” than the first book so that was nice!
****Possible spoiler****
My only downfall of this book was the insta-marriage. I don’t mind insta-love because it happens but they definitely could have waited a bit for the proposal. I think had the proposal been when he got back (even with the wedding and pregnancy announcement 6mo after) I wouldn’t have had a negative thing to say. Overall good read!
Book 3: Threatened
This one was hard for me to get into right away. I felt hunted and exposed were much more captivating from the very beginning and this took a while for anything exciting to happen. Once things starting picking up I could not put it down!!! I was a little sad there was no cameo in this book from the previous 2 but I really did like the story line. Will definitely read others from this author and absolutely recommend if you’re looking for some really good, quick romance reads!
All three are entertaining ex-military romance books. This series has been updated and re-released with new names and covers. Leslie does a great job of getting you hooked on the characters and rooting for all the HEA's.

Each book is a testament to the indomitable nature of those who risk their lives for the sake of others and the transformative power of love that conquers all.
A great read! I took my time and finished this in about a week. It had enough action to not feel like a strictly romance, but enough spice to keep things interesting. Great weekend reads!
There should most definitely be trigger warnings on this book, and there are so many topics that we’re not covered and plot holes every here or there. However the most perfect things about this book is the relationship between the MMC and the little child they had the best relationship and that was what made me love this book
I felt this was very rushed. This would have been fantastic at 300-400 pages but there were a lot of things happening in such a short amount of time. I just felt things were rushed and underdeveloped.
GREAT series!!!! While each book is a standalone, I love that the characters are interconnected.
Leslie has a lot of great military romance series and I am slowly making my way through them.
A solid set of romantic suspense Seal books by Leslie North. I enjoyed all three of the stories, The first book is about Leila and Clint. the second book is about Eric and Beth and the third is about Kylie and Gage. Each was well-written, with good characters and romance. Excellent set
Three romantic suspense stories with dashing heroes and the women they love and protect. I really liked having all three at one time so that I could move on to the next book. Reviewing: Hunted: Former SEAL Clint Blackwater own and a gun shop and range. When Leila Ortiz, with her young son Thomas, comes into his shop to purchase a gun he wonders why she needs a gun? He learns that her abusive ex-husband has been released from prison and will be coming after her, Will Clint be able to keep her safe without falling in love with her, or would that really be so bad? In Exposed, Navy SEAL Eric Harvey goes undercover at a couples retreat with journalist Beth Williams. Of course, soon there is danger and romance; In Threatened, what will former Navy SEAL Gage Winters do when he has the care of his friends orphaned twins? Of course, enlist the assistance of the twins’ Aunt Kylie, but can they remain just co-parents? I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (paytonpuppy)
I've just recently started the tv series, Seal Team, so I'm definitely in my Seal era right now and these 3 books were an absolute delight to get me in to them via the book world too. All 3 were short and sweet, with heavy topics and the perfect amount of romance.
If you have never read a Leslie North Military book or any of her books for matter you have no idea what you're missing or are in for for. She is my favorite author when it comes to her military series. Leslie North has given her readers an awesome boxed set of three sexy alpha Navy SEALs. Gage Winters is a former Navy SEAL; Eric Harvey is on leave recovering from an injury and Clint Backwater has retired from his duties as a Navy SEAL. These Navy SEALs are very protective of the women that come into their livers. Each of the books gives the readers some different for their reading enjoyment with drama, page turning adventure, great chemistry, romance, awesome characters and plots that are most definitely page turners. When reading about Leslie North’s Navy SEALs you are always in for a treat.
