Ratings and reviews

5 stars and up. This story has all the feels. Poignant and realistic, hilarious and gritty with suspense, all entwined to form one great love story that goes beyond fear and hangups of abandonment and death. The camaraderie and trust within the elite and highly trained team is what brotherhood should be, no questions asked and nobody left behind. The funeral rites was a hard reality every military personnel faced and their families with it. Zoe stellarly writes books you don't mind paying for.

Wow, what a great start to this new series by this talented author. This first book of SEAL Team East introduces us to Navy SEAL Tex/Michael Penn, and his team. When a mission goes from bad to worse and a Navy pilot is killed, he and his team are put under investigation. The wife of the pilot, daughter of a senator, wants answers as does the JAG officer, LT Nora Wilson. But the Navy has classified the operation as Top Secret and very black ops. With two strong willed characters .

I cried when he saved her.
