3.5 stars

With just 100 pages of content, this story is packed-full of emotions and steam. Although I enjoyed the overall story, I wish I could have gotten a little bit more of the connection between Jack and Erin on the page. But what I didn't get in connection I got in character development. Jack and Erin's individual stories were compelling and interesting, which was what ultimately kept me reading until the end.

I like flawed characters who are regular, everyday, average Joe's. Jack Powell was a Navy SEAL who is re-integrating into civilian life and taking classes at his local college. And rather than doing research at the library in the evening, librarian Erin Kent finds him asleep. Repeatedly. It's as charming to her as it is to readers, and makes this hero relatable and real (though no less heroic). She is operating in a new phase of her life, too, following a divorce and epiphany that she needs to liven up her life. Together they do a great job of learning to move forward, and find excitement.

Received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

I connected with this one much better than the first one...probably because Erin's a librarian, but there was something about the vulnerability in Jack that really locked me into the story. While I could never do some of the things that Erin wanted to do, I appreciated that that's the life she always wanted to live.

A good, quick read.

Erin Kent is focusing on living life the way she wants now as she is divorced and finally feels free for the first time in her life. Being the librarian at the local college, Erin needs something to thrill her outside of the books and walls she calls her second home. Deciding that she is going to go ahead and purchase a motorbike to put the thrill back into her life now she is single and free.
Jack Powell had his future as a SEAL all planned out, although sometimes things don't always go to plan. Now he is forced into the unknown and a life without his safety net of the SEAL's. Deciding to take some college classes whilst he thinks about what to do now, he is drawn in by the college librarian.
It isn't long before Erin and Jack become more than just friends, their relationship is one that had me screaming at them mentally to get their act together. Although it is the challenges and issues that they have which pushes them apart when it should be doing the opposite. Having both been hurt in the past, they are apprehensive about love and what the future can bring, but sometimes you have to be a rebel and take life by the handle-bars to make it what you want.
I loved the library theme of the story, even though it wasn't all set in the library having it featured in the book made me so excited to read about how it comes across in the story between Jack and Erin. I also loved how the story's theme was around second chances and figuring out what to do when life throws you a challenge.
The Seal's Rebel Librarian is a book that is a book lover dream with a library, gorgeous male lead character and a thrilling book about romance outside of the pages of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves books, Seal's (I mean the Navy type not the animal type, although they are cute as well!) and a romance story which is different in the most surprising way possible.
Three Words
Thrilling, Sexy and Daring.

Another good story by this author. As with the last I read, I would have liked for it to be longer. It seemed too rushed. The writing style is good. The character did have depth. I hope the next story I ready by the author is longer and has more details to the story line.
