Hooyah - What an intense book that not only show's the life of Navy Seal's both on and off of the battlefield but also that suffering from PTSD can come from things other than war.

The story of Kayla and Commander Thane Austen is only started in this book - it will be finished in a second book. Did that take away from the awesomeness of the story? NO. I cannot wait for the next book to get the conclusion of Kayla and Thane's story.

Commander Thane Austen is a Navy Seal and he made a decision long ago that the only person he would be married to was the Navy. He is a strong leader and has a great team he leads on missions and that is all he needs. That is until a woman from Canada is hired to be the new tactical specialist and she ignites something in him he didn't even think existed. Even though this is a romance there is a lot of read time on the missions and what a tactical specialist does. The way the author wrote these scenes had me glued to the pages in interest. Many of Thane's Seal's team also gets plenty of face time and even POV's through out the book. In the middle of all of this are two side plots happening. One is a vicious serial killer who is killing women on base. The other is Kayla's past which is slowly revealed to us through out the book from which she suffers PTSD from.

This book was riveting from beginning to end and I look forward to the conclusion.… (plus d'informations)

Code Name: Ghost should be read before reading this book. In part one you were riveted to the pages and story of Commander Thane Austen who is a Navy Seal and Kayla who is a tactical specialist that came from the Canadian military. It was written with such depth of the life of Navy Seal's both on and off of the battlefield and also of the effects of PTSD.

There were many loose ends from the first book, Kayla who is damaged pretty intensively on the inside and suffers from PTSD from an abusive marriage and a serial killer named the Shark who is targeted and killing women on the base and Kayla is on his radar. The ending of Ghost was shocking and heartbreaking to the point I couldn’t wait for this book to come out. In looking at others reviews this may just be me but Kayla was just a bit to whack in this book. I liked every other character in the story but her. Thane who thought he had lost his ability to be anything other than a hardened soulless solider fell in love with the broken Kayla and is doing everything in his power to prove he has changed and loves her all while trying to protect her from the Shark. Thane’s Seal’s teammate Mace also plays a big part in this book. I love Mace. He’s not only Shane’s best friend but he has also become Kayla’s and would also give his life for hers. Kayla’s ex-brother in law also shows back up in this one and where I like Greg I didn’t like how Kayla would just throw Thane over for him anytime he was around. We are also introduced to Nina Samson who Kayla worked with in Canada and is also one of her closest female friends. There is definitely something interesting going on between her and Mace. I can’t wait to read their story which is next.

The serial killer aspect of the story is defiantly wrapped up in this book but even though there is a HEA for Thane and Kayla with plenty of surprises I still felt Kayla’s insecurities about herself and Thane should have been a little further along in being dealt with. Even though I was a little disappointed with this book I absolutely will continue on with the series and highly recommend to anyone to read the first book Code Name: Ghost.

If you’ve read the first two books you were entranced under the command of sexy Petty Officer Mace Callahan who is a Navy SEAL. When I saw his cover – I fell in lust all over again.

Mace is the kind of guy you want to have your back whether out on a mission or as a friend. When Mace is hurt on a mission it kinda throws him out of whack. He’s not used to being the one that needs help and it puts a wee bit of a dent in his self esteem.

Nina Samson, is the best friend of Kayla (from the first book) and also from Canada but she is now working as an analyst at Coronado Base Command. She’s also a single mom and her and Mace were just at the very beginning stages of a relationship when he was hurt. Mace avoids her when he is in Germany but once he comes back to Coronado she isn’t going to let him get away with pushing her away or with letting him feel sorry for himself.

Its not long before these two are steaming up the sheets. As this book interlinks timely wise with the first two there are some overlapping plots that now we are seeing from Nina and Mace’s POV. Plenty of romance and suspense to keep you turning the pages.

I was given Code Name: Nina's Choice for an honest review by Manic Readers

Mace Callahan is very much in-love with Nina Samson and wants to be her guy and the father of her 8 year old little girl. But with every little thing that falls in their path he throws up road blocks and can't seem to stop himself.

Nina Samson love Mace with everything that she has and when he comes home injured she will do or sacrifice anything to make him better. Even recruit his best friend to make IT happen, including letting him go to another woman. But just when things start working and the world is going in the right direction a blast from her past threatens her future with Mace and the life of her daughter.
