Cape Cod SEAL Rescue

Maybe it was fate, but Decker and Roxi met at the right time in their lives. Both were ready to move forward from the traumatic occurrences in their pasts. I like their characters, and enjoyed how Otis took to Decker. I admired Roxi's strength in being able to take that leap with Decker. I think of this story as being a moment in time for Decker and Roxi. A fast paced, short story. Two people taking a chance on romance. Full of sexy times, a hurricane, and a HEA. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.

This is a short, fast paced love story of two people overcoming tragic pasts to find love. John Decker wishes he had died two years ago in a crash that killed his wife. As a retired Navy Seal, he's had offers to join The Brotherhood Protection. Not ready to commit to a job or anything, he relocates to Wellfleet on Cape Cod where he spends much of his days on his porch staring out at the ocean. Roxi Lanier has spent her life, since age 13, not truly living. As the owner of a bar on Wellfleet, she often sees Decker having a drink or eating. After diving into the ocean to "rescue" what she thinks is a despondent Decker, she decides to start living her life. Although I enjoyed this novella, I was expecting a little more suspense, drama. It was easily relatable and dealt with heavy topics. I did expect Roxi to be a little more nervous, scared when it came to intimacy, but loved her take charge attitude. This is a love story of two damaged souls learning to live life fully and love again. This novella also opened up the possibility of the Brotherhood Protection expanding to the East coast with Decker heading up an office there. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

Well Done Ms Elle! Short Novellas sometimes have no substance or feel to rushed. No complaints here. This is a well done short story with the crime having been committed off camera so to speak. Hank makes a short appearance, and other than that its all about Roxie and Dexter, oh and Otis, lets not forget Otis. Made me smile and made my day. I received this arc from the author and voluntarily share my thoughts and opinions.
