Review: Saving Penni

 

♦ ♦ ♦

Knox ‘Fort’ Porter never thought a trip to the convenience store could change his life, but that’s exactly what happened. Saving a woman from a gunman is all in a day’s work given his job. However his immediate and uncharacteristically protective reaction to her is something else entirely. No way could he hit on a woman who has just been through a trauma, so he lets her walk away…immediately regretting it.

 As a PR expert, Penni Stewart’s life is one constant blur. Work. Sleep. Work. But one fateful afternoon she has a gun jammed in her side and a sexy Navy SEAL storms into her life. Only he walks away and she never expects to see him again…until he’s waiting for her one night after work. The attraction that flared at their first touch isn’t as one sided as she thought.

 When it becomes clear that the danger from the hold up has followed her home, and Penni’s life is now under threat, Fort will do whatever it takes to ensure her safety. But will it be enough or will the one good thing in his life be ripped from his grasp?

My Rating: 5 of 5 stars

 

Saving Penni is the second book in the Seal Team Tango series but was fine reading as a stand-alone. This was a new-to-me author and I found it to be interesting and full of intrigue. The characters were likable and had dimensions.
Fort “Knox” Porter, a Navy SEAL, never expected he would need to save someone from a gunman in a convenience store or become intrigued on the reason behind the holdup. He knew that asking her to dinner afterward was not a good idea, but he could not get Penni out of his mind. His team is looking into the holdup and discover a plot that puts Penni’s life at risk. Penni Stewart never expected to have a gun shoved into her side in a convenience store while picking up half-and-half. After that terrible night, she just wanted to forget all about it but unfortunately, she has come to the attention of the conspirators.
This a great book but I do wish it were longer and we could have seen more of Knox and Penni’s interactions. It was fast-paced with lots of action, twists and turns, and hot alpha-ness. I enjoyed meeting all of Knox’s team members and cannot wait to see them in future books. I especially loved how intriguing Tex was and would love to see his story.
I received an ARC and am willingly leaving a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
