SUBJECT: Navy SEAL Mason Black 

MISSION: Remain undercover…even if it means going commando! 

Wedding blogger Maddie Holmes is twelve times the bridesmaid and never the bride. Still, being on the sidelines of everyone else's happy endings has its perks, like staying at the luxurious, decadent Fantasy Island. The resort isn't just romantic—it's filled with sinful temptations…like delicious hottie resort chef Mason Black. And Maddie can't wait to take a bite! 

There's just a teeny problem with her plan. She has no idea that Mason is an undercover Navy SEAL who needs photographs Maddie took that put both his mission and her life at risk. Mason's plan? Retrieve the pics and indulge in a few X-rated fantasies with the curvy redhead…and hope like hell that being between the sheets doesn't blow his cover.

My Thoughts:

I'm absolutely loving these SEAL books by Anne Marsh! It takes place in the same spot as Teasing Her SEAL--a resort called Fantasy Island. Maddie is the wedding photographer and she may have taken some pictures that Mason needs to get his hands on to protect the mission. The thing is, Maddie doesn't know Mason is undercover as the chef at the resort. When the two of them succumb to the temptation, it's only going to be a matter of time before the truth comes out. Will the two of them be able to work together to make things right again?

Pleasing her SEAL is a hot and steamy read. Maddie and Mason have a great chemistry between them. Maddie is a strong woman, and Mason is a sweet man. I loved the pairing. And I loved the way the story progressed, how much Mason cared about Maddie and hated to be keeping secrets from her while on his mission. Another great story from Anne Marsh!

Subject: Navy SEAL Gray Jackson 

Objective: Stay on mission. And out of her bed. 

Surgeon Laney Parker is on her honeymoon. Alone. Without her cheating fiancé, she's enjoying her nonrefundable "vacation" at Fantasy Island, an exotic resort filled with lush greenery, white beaches and staff who apparently grant every sexual request. Including an unbearably hot massage therapist whose touch turns Laney to molten lava…

Laney has no idea that Gray Jackson is actually an undercover Navy SEAL who's supposed to keep his hands off. Or that Gray wants to take total control. To give Laney just what she—hell, what they both need. Gray can grant her every erotic wish, just as long as he keeps his cover. And just as long as their sexy little tease doesn't go beyond the week…

My Thoughts:

I read Anne Marsh before and thought the story was very well done--especially the characters. When this one landed on my radar, I had to read it. Laney is on vacation while Gray is undercover. He's the massage therapist on staff to her, but he's working otherwise on a mission. He doesn't want to get involved with a civilian because he could risk their life in the process. However, when Laney and Gray give in to their desires, it's a lost cause. After an unfortunate accident, Laney discovers what Gray really is. Will what they have be over when their time is done on the island?

Teasing Her SEAL is a hot and suspenseful read. It doesn't get too deep into the SEAL operations, which works very well for this romance. The side characters added to the story greatly. And Laney and Gray's connection was sexy and full of chemistry. Definitely a good story!

A brazen bargain!

Former military pilot Mia Brandt is on a four-day cruise that can only be described as bachelorette hell. Giggling girls, rhinestone-studded bikini bottoms (ugh), slushy margaritas…and Mia missing the cruise ship's departure at the last port. Now she's stranded on the same island as Tag Johnson—a Navy rescue swimmer who's all ripped abs and sexy hotness…and Mia's unforgettable one-nighter from four years ago!

Tag definitely remembers Mia. Remembers her touch, the searing heat of their chemistry…and how she pulled rank on him in bed. The sexual attraction between them is as fierce as it ever was. But when Tag blurts out that they're engaged—a tiny little lie—their naughty, no-strings secret arrangement is out! And now an even bigger secret has taken its place…

My Thoughts:

It's no doubt when I pick up these lovely books, I'm almost always hooked from the beginning. Give me a fake engagement and, well, you know me, I'm gonna be going absolutely nuts. And this one was a really sweet book!

Mia and Tag have a teeny bit of a rocky start when they run into each other after all these years. When Tag finds Mia stranded on the beach, he brings her back to his place and they rekindle what they had that one night. One thing leads to another and soon there's a little fibbing about the two of them being engaged. Mia goes along with it to help Tag out, but he seems to feel like it could be something more.

Wicked Secrets was a wickedly sweet book. Both Mia and Tag are strong people, but they've been through a lot since they first met, including an incident that happened when Mia was deployed. I loved how Anne Marsh made these characters real--Mia with her PTSD and Tag with his soft spot for animals. I'm absolutely picking up more from this series!
