On Halloween night, Livi Kane is at her aunt Roz's bar with her best friend Tessa. Livi a wallflower, she is terribly shy in social situations but on that particular night, she's decided to be daring and go after her ultimate fantasy. She wants to have sex with a gorgeous SEAL, and the bar is where to find one. Livi's costume is a Twinkie, which is not exactly enticing, especially since she's known as the Body Babe; she's a fitness instructor and personal trainer. She's also wary of relationships, since her ex-husband ran off with her money and left her with debts. Then she sees "him": Super Hottie, Lt. Commander Mitch Donovan, and Mitch can't take his eyes off her either in spite of her silly costume. Mitch is at the bar with his friends, and one of them upon hearing that the gorgeous blonde is the famous physical fitness guru, dares them to a push-ups contest. A SEAL'S SECRET took me completely by surprise! It starts off as a light, sexy, cute story about the beautiful but bashful Livi and handsome and super confident Mitch and what seemed like a hook-up leading to a sweet and sexy happy-ever-after. But, oh my! Tawny Weber surreptitiously weaves an extraordinarily touching story around these two characters. A SEAL'S SECRET is also possibly the sexiest story the author has ever penned: the chemistry between Livi and Mitch is incendiary, but the pairing of these two exceptionally beautiful people leads to a reflective look as what really makes them tick. Mitch doesn't make mistakes, period; he's very self-assured, but neither arrogant nor cocky. Nothing ever goes wrong in his life, and his future relies on what will further advance his career; it's all very simple for him; he's never really had to make any decisions. As for Livi, everyone has always made the decisions for her, and she has no idea what she really wants; she's not stupid, but she never had to think for herself before.

Then comes a point in A SEAL'S SECRET where both Livi and Mitch have to make decisions about their careers, where their relationship is going, and here Ms. Weber shines as never before. A SEAL'S SECRET is very different from Ms. Weber's two previous SEAL's books in tone, but the author pursues the angle that started with the most recent instalments in this series. Using her immense talent, she delves deeper in the psychology of her characters and their emotional involvement in what starts off as an uncomplicated a sexual relationship. Livi and Mitch's story progresses during intimate conversations, as well as how they deal with their relationships with their respective parents; as we watch their romance blossom, they come into their own as people.

A SEAL'S SECRET is captivating, compelling and very sensual. A SEAL'S SECRET is a truly exceptional book, Tawny Weber's best ever; she has pushed her boundaries as I never thought possible; I feel it might be just the beginning of something quite extraordinary.

Book Summary

Navy SEAL Mitch Donovan always plays to win. The push-up contest at the Halloween party should have been a piece of cake. Except that the cake in question is a hot woman dressed as a delicious dessert. Now the only exercise on Mitch's mind is restraint.

But Mitch has his secrets—and Livi certainly has hers. All it will take is one unexpected encounter to turn this steamy attraction into an even bigger secret that will start showing any day now...
