ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 13, 2019

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.

One year ago, Samantha Engel was forced into witness protection to escape her ruthless mob-boss father. Jack had been her protector, and seeing her again now, in desperate need of help, stirs up a flood of emotions that catch Jack off-guard. Scheduled to testify against her dad, Sam is now on the run. Her father’s offering a pretty penny to anyone who can silence her for good. Jack may not the protector he once was, but he knows one thing for sure: if Sam and her baby are in trouble, he’s not letting them out of his sight.

With tensions running high and temptations running higher, Sam readily puts her life in Jack’s capable hands. Once the only person she could trust, she’d feared her daughter would grow up never knowing the man she owed her life to. But being back in Jack’s arms—and his bed—makes her heart pound like no time has passed. With the mob threat closing in, Jack knows failure isn’t an option. But even if they survive, Jack will have to fight to find a way to keep Sam and her daughter under his protection, or risk having to say good-bye again—this time for good.

REVIEW: THE PROTECTIVE SEAL by Katie Knight is a contemporary, adult, military romantic suspense story line in the author’s series of US Navy SEAL stories. This is US Navy SEAL Jack Williams, and Marine Biology undergrad Samantha Engel’s story line.

Told from three third person perspectives including Jack and Samantha THE PROTECTIVE SEAL follows Samantha Engel, the daughter of Chicago mobster Stefan Engel, as she is forced into witness protection in an effort to escape the wrath of her murderous father. Approximately eighteen months earlier our heroine found herself rescued from the Costa Rican village by a Team of US Navy SEALs where she will come face to face with her future, Jack Williams. Fast forward to present day wherein Samantha’s life hangs precariously in the balance as her father plots her demise from inside his prison cell leaving our heroine on the run for her life, along with that of her six month old daughter’s. With no where else to go Samantha lands in Rally, Nebraska in the hopes of finding the man she hasn’t stopped thinking about. Enter former US Navy SEAL Jack Williams, and the man with whom Samantha will fall in love. What ensues is the rekindling relationship and romance between Samantha and Jack, and the potential fall-out as our couple struggle to stay one step ahead of the killers sent to destroy it all.

Samantha Engel has never stopped thinking about the man who saved her life all those months ago because one night of passion gave Samantha something more precious than anyone could have imagined. Desperate to protect her daughter and her life, Samantha battles between head and heart knowing she would bring with her danger and death at every turn. Jack Williams had no idea he was a father but seeing Samantha’s daughter he knew immediately the child was his. With a family to protect, Jack becomes guardian and protector to save the woman with whom he would fall in love.

WE are introduced to Jack’s friend, former Navy SEAL and US marshal Zeke Taylor, as well as Samantha’s father Stefan Engel, and a large number of agents and assassins sent to take out our story line heroine.

THE PROTECTIVE SEAL is a story of family, betrayal, power and control.

THE PROTECT SEAL is an intriguing and suspense filled story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 9, 2019

When Navy SEAL Jake Hendrix attends a charity bachelor/bachelorette auction as a favor for a friend, he’s stunned to see his squad mate’s gorgeous sister, Hanna Masterson, walk across the stage. She’s grown even more stunning in the years since he’d met (and very nearly made out with) her at the end of basic training. When Jake overhears other bidders talking about her, his alpha protector instinct kicks in and he decides to bid on her himself. He thinks he’s saving her. What he didn’t expect was how upset she’d be at him.

Hanna has developed a checklist of qualities she wants in a man. Someone reliable, dependable, and family oriented who can provide for her and their children. She doesn’t need the likes of Jake Hendrix—smoking hot as he is—getting in the way of her man hunt. She’d been hoping the auction might pair her with a potential long-term match, but alas she just got her brother’s hot squad mate who has “one night only” written all over him.

But the date actually goes well—really well. Best sex of her life well. But the following day, Jake immediately pulls back, just as she expected. Romance only gets in the way of doing his job: protection has no room for passion. Resigned to their night together being nothing more than a blip in the road, Hanna’s unsettled when a pregnancy test turns that blip into a major speedbump.

Before she can tell Jake she’s pregnant, something far more unexpected lands on her plate. One of her high-profile clients has been murdered, and because he’s shared certain information with Hanna, the killers will stop at nothing to silence her.

Despite his promises to stay uninvolved, Jake can’t help but protect Hanna, baby bump and all, insisting they go on the run as they dig deeper into the dangerous situation they’ve found themselves in. But as the threat closes in on their secluded safe house, their biggest problem might just be falling in love and losing it all…

REVIEW: COMING TO HER RESCUE by Katie Knight is another instalment in the author’s series focusing on the US Navy SEALs. This is Navy SEAL Jake Hendrix, and therapist Hanna Masterson’s story line. All of Katie’s SEAL stories can be read as stand alone without any difficulty.

Told from dual third person perspective (Jake and Hanna) COMING TO HER RESCUE follows the best friend’s little sister relationship between Navy SEAL Jake Hendrix, and therapist Hanna Masterson. Jake was invited to a bachelorette auction but was shocked when one of the contestants was his fellow SEAL’s little sister Hanna Masterson. Overhearing the rude and sexually explicit comments from the other bachelors in the audience Jake makes the winning bid to protect Hanna from the a potential disaster but Hanna isn’t impressed when she discovers Jake is the winning bid. What ensues is the building relationship and romance between Jake and Hanna, and the potential fall-out as Hanna is targeted for who she is, and who she knows.

Hanna Masterson is twenty six years old and believes she will find her soul-mate at the charity bachelorette auction but what she never anticipated was her life-long crush, a man who rejected her years before. Hanna made a list of attributes for a potential mate but Jake didn’t check all of the boxes including family and future stability. Jake Hendrix doesn’t do relationships: constantly on duty and ready to go at a moments notice, Jake isn’t willing to force any partner to deal with the emotional ramifications of going it –alone.

The relationship between Jake and Hanna is one of immediate attraction but Jake’s rejection of Hanna years earlier still hurts, a hurt Hanna struggles to forget. But one night together results in an unplanned pregnancy, and Jake finds himself protector of the woman with whom he will fall in love, and the child she now carries. When threats against Hanna become violent and physical, Jake calls in help from people he knows.

COMING TO HER RESCUE is a story of family, heart break, betrayal and control. The premise is engaging; the characters are energetic; the romance struggles in the face of indecision, and the back and forth emotional upheaval of want, need, independence and control. The conflict resolution was a little too clean and neat- I was hoping for something more.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 22, 2019

When Maria Blanchard asked Navy Seal Trevor Daniels to father a child with her, no strings attached, Trevor had no idea just how explosive his chemistry would be with the fiery woman who had been a wallflower during their high school years. He vowed never to contact her again after the positive pregnancy test. A year later, when one of Trevor’s dark ops missions ends with the death of his captain and suspicions aimed at him, Maria’s the only investigator he knows who can help him crack the case.

Maria Blanchard had been raised to be a proper Southern Belle, an archetype so wrong for her she’d retreated into books during her high school years. When the police academy finally gave her the guts to be the strong woman she’d always desired, she realized she didn’t need anyone to achieve her dreams. Not to get her dream job, and certainly not to get her dream baby. Still, when her childhood crush agreed to father her baby, she hadn’t expected her heart to open along with her legs.

When Trevor shows up on Maria’s doorstep in need of her help, he calls in his favor. However, being wanted for a military crime means that Maria won’t just be helping Trevor, she’ll be harboring a fugitive, and the father of her child. Unable to say no, when her pride and her heart are screaming yes, Maria agrees to help Trevor one final time before they break ties.

But as their bond grows stronger and love ignites, it becomes a rush to save Trevor’s life before they lose out on a future they could only dream of.

REVIEW: Saving The SEAL Baby Daddy by Katie Knight is a contemporary, adult, stand alone, erotic romance story line in the author’s SEAL series presented by Leslie North. This is Navy SEAL Trevor Daniels, and former police officer/PI/single mother Maria Blanchard’s story line. Saving the SEAL Baby Daddy can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Trevor and Maria) Saving the SEAL Baby Daddy follows US Navy SEAL Trevor Daniels in the wake of his latest overseas deployment that went all to h*ll, Charged with the murder of his SEAL team leader Captain Andrew McArthur, Trevor is hoping to jump start his own investigation back home. Enter former police office turned private investigator, and the mother of his only child, Maria Blanchard. What ensues is the rekindling friendship and building relationship between Trevor and Maria, and the potential fall-out as the threats against Trevor’s life increase as the investigation begins to reveal the dangerous truth.

One year earlier, Maria Blanchard approached family friend and SEAL Trevor Daniels to help father a child, a child he would never see and with whom he would never have any contact. Fast forward to present day wherein Trevor, desperate to prove his innocence, hires the mother of the child he never met, a child he will immediately love and protect but Maria struggles with Trevor’s return, and the possibility that our hero will demand time with his daughter.

The relationship between Maria and Trevor begins as a business arrangement wherein Maria wants Trevor to get her pregnant but will not be allowed any future involvement with the child he may never know. Back from deployment, Trevor struggles to prove he is not a murderer, a struggle that now involves the woman with whom he will fall in love. The $ex scenes are passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Trevor and Maria’s daughter Camille; Trevor’s siblings Tamsyn, and JAG Tim Daniels, and their parents, Penelope and Mr. Daniels, FBI Agent Thompson, as well as several tech geniuses who work with our story line heroine.

Saving the SEAL Baby Daddy is a story of betrayal, vengeance, power and lies; a story of family, friendship, and love. The premise is intriguing and engaging; the characters are energetic and strong; the romance seductive but I struggle to feel the palpable sexual attraction between our leading couple.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January 21, 2019

Former Navy SEAL Jed Tremayne knows discipline, hard work, and how to carry a rifle. So when his two best friends die suddenly and leave their daughter, Nala, in his care, Jed’s a little out of his element. Though he wants desperately to connect with her, Nala has withdrawn further and further into her books. Jed just needs a little help, and decides to hire a nanny, and who better than someone who loves to read as much as Nala does? Sure, Tess Frederick is a bit too intriguing, a little too sexy in an adorably unconscious way, but she instantly connects with Nala so Jeb gives her the job.

Tess likes things ordered. But lately, her well-planned life has descended into a bit of chaos. Haunted by the suicide death of her former lover, and recovering from her bookstore going out of business, an open position for a private tutor seems like the perfect job to take while she figures out the rest of her life. Nala is an adorable and intelligent little girl and the two have an instant connection. Her guardian, Jed, is another matter altogether. Too good-looking. Too intense. And too sexy by far. If Tess can just get through the next few weeks with her heart intact, all will be well. The thing with hearts, though, no matter how hard she tries, she can’t seem to turn hers off.

But as Jed and Tess begin to fall for each other, an unknown danger threatens their burgeoning love, a danger that blindsides them both and threatens their very lives—and the life of the little girl they both love. Can two broken souls find the strength to conquer this dark menace or will they be lost in the fight to survive?

REVIEW: The SEAL’s Ward by Katie Knight is an adult, contemporary, stand alone, romantic suspense story in the author’s SEAL series presented by Leslie North.  This is  former Navy SEAL Jed Tremayne, and speech therapist/nanny Tess Frederick’s story line.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Jed and Tess) The SEAL’s Ward follows the building relationship between former Navy SEAL Jed Tremayne, and speech therapist/nanny Tess Frederick. Jed Tremayne became a single father upon the death of his best friend Martin Jackson, and his wife leaving eleven year old Nala an orphan and alone. Struggling with emotional and speech issues since the death of her parents, Nala was dropped from her private school forcing Jed to hire a full-time nanny who would double as teacher and friend. Enter Tess Frederick, the woman with whom Jed would fall in love. What ensues is the building relationship between Jed and Tess, and the potential fall-out as the investigation into the accident reveals a potential homicide, with the Jackson’s as the target.

Tess Frederick knows loss including the death of her boyfriend, and the loss of her business and job. Desperate for employment Tess applies to be the nanny to an eleven year old girl who has struggled since the death of her beloved parents. No one was good enough according to Jed but desperate times called for desperate measures when Jed is forced to hire the last woman he interviewed. Starting a new job meant time away from home, time away from Nala, the child who needed him more than he could have known.

The relationship between Tess and Jed is one of immediate attraction but Jed doesn’t do relationships especially with the woman he hired to care for his ward. Tess attraction to Jed was immediate but our heroine struggles in light of a previous loss, and the potential for losing her job. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate but limited; without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The SEAL’s Ward is a story of betrayal, vengeance, power and heart break. The premise is intriguing and engaging; the characters are energetic and dynamic; the romance is seductive. The secondary characters include local police and FBI, as well as several men who work with our leading hero. The requisite evil has many faces. The SEAL’s Ward is a story of loss, love, discovery and heart.
