This book might seem as if it should be a romantic suspense, but it isn't. Even though the hero is a SEAL, the story is a relationship story. This series of books have SEALs in them but they are not action books. Generally I'm okay with that in this series but the relationship here wasn't strong enough to carry the book without more action.

It started strong. The first bit of the book was great. It was a scene where the hero, Garth, was in Afghanistan and injured in action. The supernatural stuff here was okay. But once he got back to the US, it lost steam. I liked him. I liked his story of coming to realize what he really wanted in life but not as much as I'd have liked a book with more action.

The actual story about the abandoned baby wasn't that interesting. And I say that being a person who generally loves pregnancy/babies in books. We never even really get a good solid explanation/resolution to the baby bit There was just too much about loving the baby (after 3 days you're so in love with her that can't conceive of giving her up?) I mean I love babies but you knew going in she wasn't yours.

The love story was just okay. He fell in love with her at first sight. It was a little odd though to have the hero in a nonparanormal romance keep referring to the heroine as his "mate."

I really didn't enjoy the psychic element involving the heroine at all. It just seemed out of place and unnecessary especially since none of the other 3 books in this series included this element at all.

There was a bit at the end that I really did enjoy though He decided that he would change his career to fit with her which was a nice change from the woman giving everything up

Ultimately not as good as the last one but I'll still read any further books in the series. ( )
