ARC BOOK REVIEW: SEAL of Honor (HORNET #1) by Tonya Burrows

SEAL of Honor (HORNET #1) by Tonya Burrows
Genres: Romantic Suspense
Publication Date: May 28, 2013
My Rating: ♥♥♥♥
It’s a good thing Gabe Bristow lives and breathes the Navy SEAL credo, “the only easy day was yesterday,” because today, his life is unrecognizable. When his prestigious career comes to a crashing halt, he’s left with a bum leg and few prospects for employment that don’t include a desk.

That is, until he’s offered the chance to command a private hostage rescue team and free a wealthy American businessman from Colombian paramilitary rebels. It seems like a good deal—until he meets his new team: a drunk Cajun linguist, a boy-genius CIA threat analyst, an FBI negotiator with mob ties, a cowboy medic, and an EOD expert as volatile as the bombs he defuses. Oh, and who could forget the sexy, frustratingly impulsive Audrey Van Amee? She’s determined to help rescue her brother—or drive Gabe crazy. Whichever comes first.

As the death toll rises, Gabe’s team of delinquents must figure out how to work together long enough to save the day. Or, at least, not get themselves killed. Because Gabe’s finally found something worth living for, and God help him if he can’t bring her brother back alive.

My Thoughts


Well hello there sexy cover you!

When I received this book I wasn't sure what to expect.. military/navy seal are one of my favorites but in the past few days I've been reading a lot of books that didn't live up to my expectations- so I told myself not to get my hopes up on this one.. but danggggg! I was surprised on how much I loved this book!

Seal of Honor is packed of actions that felt like I'm watching an action movie instead. lol.
The plot is interesting with a lot of suspense that kept me interested and had a hard time putting it down! (and this is coming from a person who is not particular with suspense genre.) All the characters are likeable and interesting that by the end of the book, you can't help but fall in love with them.

Gabe our main hero is one hot military alpha man! Yes he has some issues but it's hard not to love him!
Audrey.. ahh... finally a great heroine! Strong, funny and witty... I've been reading a lot of stupid heroines lately but when I met Audrey, she's a refreshing thing to read. I love that she's brave and willing to do anything to save her brother. The romance between Gabe and Audrey was like an icing on the cake. Together they make a sweet kick ass couple! hehe!

Overall, I loved this book! It has everything- fun, exciting, suspenseful, romance, hot and great characters!
SEAL of Honor has a nice twist that would keep you on the edge! Looking forward to more HORNET series to come!

I received this book from Entangled Publishing, LLC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

About the Author
Writing has always been my one true love. I wrote my first novel-length story in 8th grade and haven't put down my pen since. I received a B.A. in creative writing from SUNY Oswego and I'm now working on a MFA in popular fiction at Seton Hill University.

When I'm not writing, I spend my time reading, painting (badly), exploring new places, and enjoying time with my family. Give me a good horror movie over a chick flick any day. (And, let's be honest, I'll take a bad horror movie too!) I'm a geek at heart and pledge my avid TV fandom to Supernatural and Doctor Who. I'm also a big fan of The Voice. What can I say? Guilty pleasure.​​

I share my life with two dogs and a ginormous cat. I'm from a small town in Western New York, but I suffer from a bad case of wanderlust and usually end up moving someplace new every few years. Luckily, my animals are all excellent travel buddies.
