review 1: This book started out strong with action that immediately puts the heroine in danger. The problem is that the action falls off once our hunky Navy SEAL enters the picture. It was almost like reading two separate books...one romance novel and one suspense novel. The characters had a lot of promise as far as thei. I felt liker development went, but again they fell short...like they were rushed into being. This is probably my biggest beef besides the action coming and going so fast. I wanted Becca and Reid to grow more individually and as a couple. I wanted more backstory. Even with its shortcomings, Covert Seduction was still a fun and quick read. There were plenty of super STEAMY parts and Reid was super hot and heroic. I would recommend this book as a "between the em... moreotional reads" book...especially if you need one that's not long and you need a break from becoming overly emotionally involved.
review 2: Callie Croix/Kaylea Cross writes suspense and military heroes so well. She does her research and knows her stuff. I don't normally read erotic romance, so this was a little different for me. Lots of hot intimate scenes that were well written along with a loving romance between Reid and Becca all while Becca had dangerous people after her regarding information she inadvertently discovered at work.Reid is back home after a long deployment to find Becca out with a colleague for the evening. He can't stand waiting around for her so he drives to her place. Along the way he comes up on a car accident - one that has a car underwater on the side of the road. He jumps in to help and finds out it is Becca and her colleague, David. Not quite the way Reid wanted his reunion with Becca to go. Reid and Becca spend time together over the weekend which allows them to explore their feelings for each other both in bed and out. While I know that the intimacy is what is supposed to drive a lot of this book, there was also a good story that goes along with it. One that showcases Reid's SEAL abilities as well as his protectiveness and love for Becca.What I liked most about this book was that story started out with Reid and Becca already having a relationship. The conflict showed how Reid and Becca are going to handle their relationship with him being a SEAL and not around for periods of time. I thought Callie did a good job building this relationship on more than just intimacy. There was a level of love and trust that was developed between the two. There were some very touching moments (which I loved), one particularly in which I teared up. The ending was perfect between Reid and Becca and the way the subplot was tied up was realistic and appropriate for the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a loving erotic romance with a little suspense. less
